Impersonation warning! All of my social media accounts are "CatsOfYore". Not cats_of_yore or catsofyoreofficial or any other variation. Also, I will never ask you for money directly via PayPal, Venmo, etc. I do these gofundme fundraisers twice a year and that's it. www.gofundme.com/s?q=%22Molly...

Remember to take out a second mortgage thought because there is no way you are leaving with just gnocchi
See I just go with shouting at the dog. Yours is better.
Sun shining through wintry trees and snow
Happy 'Thank Feck The Days Are Finally Getting Longer' to my Northern Hemisphere pals particularly those buried in marking #AcademicSky. Particularly #Scotland - hang in there. Southern Hemisphere pals can just feck off, I hope you get sunburn
Amen.
Go to Glasgow. Find Italian deli. Buy gnocchi. Cover in butter, sage and parmesan.

There is a #feminist version #academicsky!
Maybe we all died in 2020 during the pandemic and we are in hell.
#academicsky I just handed a thing in ONE DAY EARLY and I'll take my promotion now, thanks

growing up Catholic means not being allowed to watch “Dirty Dancing” because your mom thought it was Too Adult but being fluent in Roman torture methods thanks to the Children’s Book of Saints you got for your First Communion

Ok but then there's those of us that are equally unproductive during daylight and nightime
Also applies during hot and cold weather
Council of Europe recommendations as part of their 2019 definition of sexism ...
originally from a male psychology colleague but, tbf, my daughter agrees with him. But I never heard any male colleague get this kind of remark, so you have a point! Smile more, ladies
Apparently in meetings my 'listening' face is the same as my 'I am incandescently furious about whatever it is we're discussing' face and I should maybe work on that #AcademicSky
I CAN SEE YOU HIDING IN THAT WARDROBE (niche joke)
I thought 4 was the best thing he ever did. Fight me.
I was warned post surgery that I would feel the cold more but this is me marking at home and it's frankly ridiculous #academicsky #disability
RIP Shane, one of the few actual antiheroes and most brilliant counterpost to the new wave hairspray synth 80s pop. Billy Bragg *wishes* he had an ounce of his integrity
