It looks like they realized they would actually have to pay for school and do some actual work, along with actually earning a TA position. So they quit.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

I'm having a hard time generating a shred of care for their plight.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

I'm devastated.  The thought of one of them winding up at the drive-thru window I choose is triggering all sorts of emotions.  Personally I think they are quitting as acts of microaggression.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

But where will I get my Art???
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
