we're living in increasingly unfergalicious times

[Sylvia Chan-Malik @schanmalik]

dear academics (mostly humanities):

you can heal from whatever traumas drove you into academia in the first place by releasing “academic” as an identity and letting it just be a job.

and whatever we thought it was is pretty much gone anyways.

this legit must be how katniss felt when they made her do the hunger games a second time

@c_j_pascoe Same. Ready to find something else.

It was a mistake to think the internet would render physical media superfluous. Websites disappear, studios delete movies, whole digital ecosystems can vanish in an instant. Buy print books, collect DVDs, there’s so much joy to be had in this tangible world.

Most of her films are freely available to view on her website: https://t.co/5KWlV8jOSH

Just a reminder - we dont even have data on how many faculty in higher ed are disabled. Bc higher ed has made it too dangerous to disclose for most. For anyone worried that "too many" disabled ppl are making it in academia idk what else to say.

[Cat J @Katy_Jay]

@GianmarcoSoresi Wait till you definitely got both exhibiting at same time.

[Jordan S. Carroll @JordanSCarroll]

a lot of academics will have a keen-eyed structural analysis of breakfast cereals or barbie dolls but not when you ask them to think about their own profession and the context in which it operates

[Cat J @Katy_Jay]

@Bronsosaurus Yep
