i fantasize sometimes about a woman who comes over to my house, gets naked, then

builds me a 40 tb storage/server rig that i can keep in my room to replace too many external drives

and then we do have sex

but the computer thing is surprisingly key to the fantasy

Give me Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson being friends

[Amber Jans @amberjans]

being disabled really is quite inconvenient sometimes guys, don't know if you've heard

[jmatonak @jmatonak]

@insatiableone i really like talking to you

[jmatonak @jmatonak]

"after you recovered from the near-fatal crisis grad school put you in, why didn't you finish your phd?"

[Sara Goldrick-Rab @saragoldrickrab]

"Postdocs are underpaid; Stanford recently purchased housing that was intended to be affordable for them, then reportedly set minimum salary requirements for living there higher than their wages. "

Do we have any nationally representative studies of postdocs to add to?

@insatiableone thank you

[jmatonak @jmatonak]

@insatiableone i have made myself very sad and do not care for it at all

[jmatonak @jmatonak]

@insatiableone yeah, it's really hard to untangle this kind of thing

and thousands of people do finish their dissertations every year- it's not impossible

it just was for me, in the end

[jmatonak @jmatonak]

@insatiableone i feel i was trapped by my disability- there were large classes of jobs i wasn't even up for trying, and "professor" seemed like the best job i could actually potentially get

"seemed" being a very key word here

[jmatonak @jmatonak]

@insatiableone grad school was obviously a mistake in retrospect

(and i have to try to be kind to myself over making that mistake)

but i don't think i could have known that at the time

@harmony_fb such a good movie!

[jmatonak @jmatonak]

Break up with me once, shame on me.
Break up with me twice? Nice try buddy, I’m inside your house.

[Disabled Trash Witch♿ @StinkRatsCharms]

Yes! We are also in the middle of a mass disabling event, so of course more students will be disabled. There are more resources about disability and accommodations than when I was in school, and the process is *still* hell even if more people are attempting to go through it

@ElementalAmber what a giant pain in the neck

[jmatonak @jmatonak]

@dogstarrz people are mad because lois lane is mad at clark kent (who she likes) for lying to her about something important?

really?

i guess they've never seen a romcom before?

[jmatonak @jmatonak]

@RahneAlexander i'll take any indication that things are better for people who deserve better things

don't see enough of those, day to day
