“The COVID pandemic hit female academics the hardest,” says @chronicle — asking what universities plan to do.

Last year, I landed a one-year adjunct position. 2 classes per semester earned around $6000 for the entire year. I had to cave and sign up for a Patreon.
For the first time since I was 14, I can’t find a job - so I’m living on… donations.
An indescribable shame for me.
I worked since I was 14, and taught university students since starting my PhD - 15 years ago.
I’ve never lost any job, or had trouble getting full-time academic positions - even in an already nightmarish market.
26 years.
Until COVID. #AcademicTwitter
Important thread from a former INCREDIBLE professor!! I can’t express how thankful I am for the continued support & advice she has provided for grants and grad school applications since COVID started. With her credentials she shouldn’t have to do all this unpaid labor. Hire her!!
@MsEntropy is an exemplary person/prof chewed out by the inadaptable, archaic #highered system.
The program she taught in at my university completely fell apart after she was forced out. Dozens if not hundreds of students begged the administration to keep her and they said 🤷🏽♂️.

With the ending of #APIHM and the beginning of #Pride2021 it’s the perfect time to introduce Daniel Kaneko: the bisexual Japanese-American protagonist of my mystery-horror pilot Shadow Pines
