I'm mad as hell & I'm not gonna take it anymore. Here to slap sense into academics until the dumb bird app inevitably combusts. Chronically punching up.

Hey y'all, if anyone applying to grad school wants an extra set of impartial eyes on their materials, hmu. My dms should be open.

I wish people would realize there was a world wide pandemic 4 yrs ago that affected the economy of the entire world.
Not only that but large corporations took full advantage and raised the prices on everything and haven't lowered them since.
Stop blaming Biden & Trudeau!

Someone in the Ohio Secretary of State office told me today that most of the "voter fraud" complaints they handle turn out to be expats who are, legally, voting from their last US residential address. Current residents file because they either don't know or care that it's legal.

I did not say this but investigating those complaints seems like a stunning waste of time and taxpayer dollars but ok.

Incidentally, they called me to follow up on my recent registration as I listed my in laws as my "us address" not realizing I could just stick with my last address. He said what I did also works as I have a valid tie to that address.

A few months ago a “friend” told me that he felt disabled people should be denied access to healthcare so “survival of the fittest” could happen faster.
That people like me are the reasons he - a non disabled cishet white man - can’t get ahead.

Fellas, is it stealing an election to have more votes than the other guy?

There's a lot of "well I imagine that was her decision" and from someone who's been in a similar position and worked a lot with grad students those people are vastly overestimating the agency grad students, esp minoritized ones, have. Especially at a school like Rutgers. I

I've worked there and I've been a grad student who was pressured not to delay a big milestone like this and I've worked with many grad students who were outright punished for having lives. Fuck literally all the way off with your lukewarm 'she made a choice' takes.

As someone who had to adjunct at multiple schools for 5 years, cobbling tiny paychecks together, before I was deemed worthy of full time position interviews-
I don't want that for anyone else. Admin, If you have adjuncts and a full time position opens up- don't be a butt.

Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dean Emma Dench said students should pursue graduate degrees out of passion for their research rather than a desire for professorship during a Tuesday interview.

Hubs pointed out that Roy in Grace & Frankie looks uncomfortably similar to my PhD supervisor and now I can't unsee that.

The number of students listing hydrogen as an example of a polar molecule is destroying my sanity. Send help!

People with no Uncanny Valley radar are trying to find "shortcuts" to identifying AI, but AI is based on the WORDS PEOPLE SAY so creating a list of commonly used AI words won't actually tell you what's AI or not. Y

Wait, did JK Rowling seriously unblock me to quote tweet me then block me again? 😂
No, Joanne, I understood your books. Seeing the power of love triumph over evil gave little gay me so much hope. It’s just a shame you decided to become your own villain and target my community.
