No no no. I make this error all the time (because nobody taught me the difference until COLLEGE). Grammar is classed and raced and this is horrible
I'm grading grad student papers and one of them keeps using "it's" when "its" is appropriate and I'm not saying I'm a harsh grader but I'm torn between giving the paper a failing grade or stabbing the author with an ice pick.

No, it’s not bad that elite schools pay their students more than 30k a year. It’s bad that I (for example) attend a Public Ivy bank rolled by big oil and we are celebrating a raise to 21,000 dollars. They deserve that money. So do we.

of course, you gain valuable skills in a Ph.D program! but you have to respect the skills and credential of other careers if you want to work in them! You can't just settle for highly competitive creative or education careers!

To be fair, everyone gets an automatic 2 weeks if they let me know (honestly if they don’t too.) if needed it’s extended. They know the deadlines are there to guide them and schedule but mostly they are for them. Also it’s easier to grade not all at once

the best alt-ac plan, to me, is to start preparing immediately. If you want to be considered for museum jobs, work in museums. If you want to be considered for writing jobs, freelance, intern, work in writing. If you want to teach k-12, get that teaching credential too.

I just applied to a 10 hour a week job that requires a BA. This is why "we" (the privileged few) are all still on the parental dole or living in our parents basement (if we can get that sort of thing) and are ruining chain restaurants and not buying houses. fyi.

I knew when I entered my Ph.D. program that I may not get a TT job. And i still did it anyway. Because I like it, because well paying jobs for people with BA's in the humanities at non brand name state schools don't exist, because if I only get 5/6 years of this it will be good?

was blocked for my comments along the same lines, so I am just going to say it. Teaching may be enjoyable, but teaching as a grad student is PRIMARILY exploitative labor. No matter how much you want to help students, learn pedagogy, and engage it is primarily exploitative

Sometimes grad school is the highest paying option. This is a privileged take
I have spoken to a number of people applying to grad school right now out of fear and desperation and lack of any apparent alternatives. I get it, I really do. But grad school is not a solution to your current or future problems.

GUYS. I have major depression. Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, PTSD. Agoraphobia for good measure. I’m a basket case.
Yet, somehow, I’ve never killed anyone.
I’m much more likely to be the victim of violence than commit it myself.
