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.

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!

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.

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.

A few months ago a āfriendā told me that he felt disabled people should be denied access to healthcare so āsurvival of the fittestā could happen faster. That people like me are the reasons he - a non disabled cishet white man - canāt get ahead. How did we get here? š§µ/1

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.

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

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. Adina R. Lippman and @angelinajparker report. https://t.co/EuE4ewIzOo

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? š No, Joanne, I understood your books. Seeing the power of love triumph over evil gave little gay me so much hope. Itās just a shame you decided to become your own villain and target my community.
