@aliciaandrz Needed to hear this today

[Caro Register @caromelaa]

@aliciaandrz From one academic mom to another, you are doing amazing just by getting through. You can do this!

[Caro Register @caromelaa]

@kabIewie Yes please!!! We have so much to catch up on holy shit

[Caro Register @caromelaa]

@kabIewie I have seen some of the most truly unhinged presentations at academic conferences lmao

[Caro Register @caromelaa]

@aliciaandrz I am going on the job market soon(ish) and I always appreciate having more information rather than less. Just my two cents, I see both sides :)

[Caro Register @caromelaa]

@RogueChieftan Congrats! Sounds like a great class :)

[Caro Register @caromelaa]

First day of MMLA 2025 done✅ I have seen so many interesting presentations and have met so many amazing people so far. Can’t wait to present tomorrow on curanderismo and chicana environmentalisms in So Far from God :)

@aliciaandrz Before class this morning I was feeling angry, sad, and frustrated but interacting with my students made me feel so much better! Keep fighting the good fight.

[Caro Register @caromelaa]

@aliciaandrz Loveeee that short story!

I know that many have already commented on this post but as a copyeditor, I have seen paper submissions that have these issues from all experience levels. Assigning this as a “grad student” problem doesn’t acknowledge the actual issues underlying publishing and peer review.

[Catherine D. Tan @Catherineoscopy]

As a reviewer, it is obvious when something is written by a brand new grad student and very obvious when it is their first paper submission ever. Really heavy on the jargon and misuse of GRE words. The writing is floral without fragrance. (1/2)

@snarkademic Are you in Greenlaw? I had a class there last year and the classroom was so bizarre lol

@KobysKing Dont be afraid to take a step back to reground yourself. As far as diss/apps/teaching goes, it’s better to take a break and come back to your work when you’re in a better mental space than to try and force something out. Slow and steady wins the race!

@BigSnugALot @snarkademic The cost of living is CH is crazy- Durham is way more affordable so for many people it’s not really a “choice”
