Every few years it’s a new location, new classes, (maybe) better finances, but never feeling accepted and always seen as temporary.

As we head into a new (unprecedented) school season. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #AcademicMentalHealth #phdchat #WomenInSTEM #SafeSchoolsOrNoSchool #TEACHers #Covid_19 #schoolsreopening #SchoolsMustShutdown #academia #GradSchool #HE #HigherEducation #highered #WearADamnMask

You are about 5 years too late to start there. My campus has been doing this for a long time it seems. Probably getting close to a decade from hearing how others had experiences and expectations.

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

We are pleased to announce our new fast pass degree plan. For a premium, students can skip all those annoying classes, get a sheet of paper that says “degree,” and fast forward to graduation without any of the inconvenience of coming to campus or going to classes.

Today was a straw too far…I’ve joined the sky. You can find me in a similar name & soon to be picture. Add me there to see what is the latest. I will update here, maybe. A call from my (FM) doc that they were no longer supporting me (FM) has me DONE.

Went to good something in Maps on my apple phone.

I am noticing similar issues of names like China did to Taiwan or during some times in the 1930s Europe era.

If we do not know history, we are doomed to repeat.

In case you wonder how a university reacts to a death of a current faculty member. My uni suddenly lost said person recently & lets everyone know. I usually don’t know the person, but this time I recognized, so I searched the site.

The person was gone from the site already!

I’m on bumble in a very conservative area.

The amount of hypocrisy of conservative emotionally non monogamous relationships is astronomical.

Like season 3 handmaidens tale jezebels level.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

@Volsicle Yep. Yesterday was the second day of it, today I woke up with a bit less of the feeling, but trying to focus on it was feeling less.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

I’m really trying to figure out why I have felt so on edge these last 24 hrs. Something is coming. My intuition is gearing up.

I only wish I had a clearer understanding exactly what it maybe.

And I hope this feeling passes without incident.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

@CalltoActivism Your choice, my decision seems about right

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

I’m really trying not to what if, but I have family who saying until something happens don’t worry.

So canaries in the coal mines idea.

What will be the line for you? I am trying to figure out things out.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

@laceandcrimes89 @bairdlet Time to go back to old school. Minimize the way they could find this info at all.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

How many are hearing of students (particularly of the female identifying) transferring at semester/ end of year to get ahead and back to safer spaces? #survival #HigherEducation

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

How to tell the world you are processing without saying it.

My outfit today is 80% camo/brown. Why you ask?
1. I’m practicing blending into nature.
2. Isn’t this what people wear into a battle/fight/war?
3. Clothing colors say a lot.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

@Literature_Lady I am trying to find hope, but it’s a struggle.

“I told you so…” doesn’t feel like it’s going to feel that great to say when the water starts boiling. Too many emotions. Have to make it through the day.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

And now the full body hives have kicked in.

I think my stress is showing up. I even ran extra the last 3 days and today to assist. My HR is normal, but this red mirage is lasting too long for comfort.

Really hoping that it’s like 2016 and I wake up to a switch to blue!

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

This blue wave can kick in any time…. I’m serious debating how long I have to pack.

They might need 3 profs in January if things don’t change. We already are down 1, another will be out for medical reason, and myself at this moment is debatable.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

@thephdstory I vote you do what you feel is best for students.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

@Volsicle Yep I’m main lining m & ms at the moment.

Not great feeling at the moment.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

So tomorrow is a full day and you know Election Day.

Pondering how much I would get judged for wearing jeans tomorrow. 🤔

Comfort is needed at all times at the moment.

[Dr. GypsyScholar @dr_gypsy]

@Volsicle I still get mistaken for a student at particular times of the year lol.

But I did read a post where calories or anything comforting is allowed minimally the next 48 hrs to make it through the stress and anxiety levels.
