@panamaorange @sirpheebs @JUNlPER Libraries rule

@JV_Allstar1 @MGonidakis @ThisSchmatta For real—has the list been shared? I will happily get it to the right place in the irs.

[JWC, PhD @J_WC]

@KateMadd Yours and mine both! Can’t wait till they support us in our retirement 😜

[JWC, PhD @J_WC]

@bears_43 @dessielclark @robertschueller I should, but can’t do this…it’s partly because it’s super boring for ME

[JWC, PhD @J_WC]

@robertschueller @dessielclark What? I easily spend 1-2 hours of prep and grading for each in class hour. And then you have mandatory office hours, which are usually 3 hrs per week. So 1 class is more like 9-10 hrs a week, min. And you have no benefits and you’re not going to have a job after 16 weeks.

@nate_postlethwt @adriel_rose It will take the rest of your life so it’s wonderful to go slowly

@KCDavisSays If you do what you have to do when you have to do it, you get to do what you want to do when you want to do it.

@_Eric_Reinhart I’m wondering if you could point me to research about the over prescribing of antipsychotics in prisons. I’ve, unfortunately got some colleagues who are skeptical.

[JWC, PhD @J_WC]

@kirsteenMM @FromPhDtoLife Yes and much of what medical folks know and do comes from academic research

@ambernoelle I’ve spent adulthood trying to un-toughen myself and stop pushing through or ignoring feeling sick after doing so repeatedly and getting much much worse many many times. It’s tricky territory and I’d err on believing her.

My kitten just ate today’s single bathtub spider.

@DrHeisenberg17 @NatTheCatMom @talulahshARC Is it still hypochondria if you missed six weeks a year of work/life from having infectious illnesses BEFORE the pandemic and have none of that now that we gave great masks? For the immunosuppressed, it’s just common sense.

[JWC, PhD @J_WC]

@colleenawilson It’s a given that I’ll be told to “reduce stress,” with zero ideas on how to do so. It doesn’t even register anymore.

[JWC, PhD @J_WC]

@dontwantadothis @1goodtern YES! I think about this all the time…in regards to people thinking racism isn’t real if they don’t experience it. On the flip—trans folks being a danger in bathrooms…that’s not real at all, and yet…

[JWC, PhD @J_WC]

@Imani_Barbarin The book Baby Teeth that is kinda horror and body horror and motherhood with Crohn’s disease.

@amandameyerphd @DALupton We aren’t allowed to require masks in our classes

[JWC, PhD @J_WC]

@KaufmanBooks @chantz_y This is one of the most vexing things about masking—it telegraphs that something is “wrong” with you. For me, having an invisible illness for the last 30 years, it now being visible…sucks

[JWC, PhD @J_WC]

@Data_logical0 @Bron_Wild @DALupton No shit. I have an incurable lifelong disease diagnosed at 10. I take meds but I guess it’s a fools errand. I eat vegetables, exercise, & don’t smoke—to lower my risk of getting more diseases. I don’t want more! We know how to lower risk, so I do. Personal responsibility right?

@ambernoelle My dad bought some tickets in my name for a fundraising raffle not really knowing what it was about. I won! I won a pin ball machine from a roller skating rink in about 1985. It came and was put right in our den, huge yellow green and orange. It vanished when my stepmom moved in

[JWC, PhD @J_WC]

@FromPhDtoLife I do jobs that are fairly interesting and challenging, align with my morals, and pay well—academia not required!
