If you've done ethnographic (or similar) fieldwork, what is one thing you would have liked to know beforehand to help you prepare? I'll be teaching a workshop for grad students ready to start research & I'm wondering what logistical, legal, personal etc issues to cover

[Natalie Claire @and_cities]

@LStefan_AgroEco @Momademia So messed up. Do they know you’re on maternity leave? And what would happen if you didn’t do it?

Why does cold brew taste so disgusting? Asking for myself

@Sung4Ji3 @AcademicChatter Horrific advice

[Natalie Claire @and_cities]

@ladyrumbler @Diesunddas15 @Momademia I have a boy and a girl (not twins) and also get this comment. So odd.

@PicturesFoIder Otto ? Oh, wait, that’s not a word, that’s an animal 😂

@mariaestorino @GeogSara I second The Sympathizer

Housing people, I'm looking for a movie or TV scenes that shows the mortgage and credit score process. E.g someone wants to buy a house and gets rejected because of a low credit score. Anyone?

Swiss table service is so terrifying. Like, I get nervous every time I need to order something because the waitron may/may not bite my head off. I just got lambasted for ordering “too quickly?” and now I’m expected to tip the guy? Imagine what he’ll do if I don’t

[Natalie Claire @and_cities]

@LuisLD1 @PhDVoice Yes, I knew. I won a grant for the first year and what seemed like a simple task *find subsequent funding* now feels not so simple

[Natalie Claire @and_cities]

People of #AcademicTwiiter how did you find PhD funding? Any tips, tricks, secrets I should know about? I have my first year funded but after that I'm on my own and frankly, I'm starting to stress. Send success stories (or money)! #PhdVoice @PhDVoice

@paisleyredd @Flawless_Cowboi I’m on the floor 🤣

[Natalie Claire @and_cities]

My 3yo looked down at our crumb covered floor this morning & yelled "Papa, come sweep the floors". I was right next to him but apparently sweeping is a job for dads. When I asked what my job is he said “you work" Looks like mission #SmashThePatriachy is well underway @momademia

[Natalie Claire @and_cities]

@AcademicChatter Do you need to do course work? The best lesson you can learn - for your own health - is practice saying “no”. Coursework? No! Working on weekends? No! Working after 5pm? No!

[Natalie Claire @and_cities]

@KLM @rob_mcivor LOL lol lol. This is a joke. We’re all heading for climate catastrophe and you’re making compost? 😭🙈

[Natalie Claire @and_cities]

@eva_rosen @ordinarysquares I love the cover 😍

[Natalie Claire @and_cities]

Please tag the presenters if you know them ♥️

I was moved by a panel on Beyond Extensions with @ULIP_French @InhabitationLab and @XazaarAdjame so I wrote some poems adapted from the words of the speakers. This first one is adapted from Solomon Benjamin. A thread...
