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.

@Mari42025330793 @OldManLefty1 I'm sorry, in what world do you think white people in Texas are going to voluntarily pick lettuce even for moderately higher wages than migrant workers do now?

@OldManLefty1 FAFO. My heart bleeds for the poor lambs.

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!

@patrickwebb It's almost like high empathy, a shitty society and poor mental health all go hand in hand or somrthing.

@bennyjohnson I can say you fucked an ostrich, that doesn't make it true. Their police dept has stated this is a false claim.

@alioop326 And it's getting to a point where if they're alive, that's the norm.

@alioop326 I don't. In some cases I'm able to enjoy their work while being mindful of what they put into it, but I don't give them money and I will go out of my way to lose them money.

In one case I was personally involved so much that it's also ruined it for me.

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.

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

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?

@ThePhDPlace You're not going to ruin your career by being collaborative, but you can and should ruin your career when your horrible, elitist, and snobby attitude comes to light. And it will. You are the worst academia has to offer. Do better or get out.

@The_Sarahnade We just celebrated 3 years of marraige and I'm still crazy about him. Sure there's days when he drives me nuts in a bad way but they are few and far between. Most of the time, he makes me laugh. He makes me brave. He makes me feel loved. Can't ask for more.

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.

[Pissed Off Prof - @phdofftherails.bsky.social @PhDOffTheRails]

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
