Three dead in shooting at U of Alabama at Huntsville [link]
Initial reports indicate that a female professor opened fire on a faculty meeting when she learned she didn't get tenure.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Looks like she was a biology professor.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Shit. That's new.

A neuroscientist, even.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap.

I just did a long ass paper on legal issues surrounding the denial of tenure when gender discrimination is involved/suspected. It happens so often, and there's so little that can be done to appeal it. Ugh. I can understand maybe wanting to go postal due to rage and helplessness, but how horrible to have it actually happen.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Well, I wouldn't assume it was gender discrimination if you have pretty good evidence that she's unstable.

Oh, sure, bon- I was just clumsily thinking out loud, connecting it to the research I'd done. (eta: I mean, it was just my first emotional reaction)
