@Ram_Guha So the euphemism preferred by eminent economists for crony capitalism is "stigmatized capitalism".

@AppleLaborers Equally true of universities and other organizations pretending to do better than corps.

@AnonForNoww Laughed out loud at your tweet! Thanks for that!!

@colinahiggins @JonBoeckenstedt @bentgordon Ah pettiness is always the classy way to combat pretty rainbow stacked bar charts. Such data. Much backing. Amaze.

@ASPertierra What's the point to attending grad school? One ans. To be socialized into a community of professionals. What's one way for socialization to occur? Rituals.

@rumlolarum @chasingiamb Thanks for sharing. Loved reading it!

@b50 Sorry uncle. Next time they promise to get full marks and make you proud.

[Prashant Rajan @rajanprashant]

@SubanNurCooley This is brilliant! Totally stealing and thanks for sharing. Citing for sure.

@AlessiaContu3 Because that's how they prefer being/doing and it's okay to accept and work with the student's preference without demanding they submit a reason that is more accessible/understandable to the instructor.

@DrDesmondPatton Sleeping. Writing three things I'm grateful for, every morning. Eating protein and fat rich diet with plenty of carbs and drinking at least 3 liters of water every day. Exercising and meditating daily. Seeking/providing social support. Presuming good intentions.

@asbruckman As Said said: "Every empire, however, tells itself and the world that it is unlike all other empires, that its mission is not to plunder and control but to educate and liberate."

@taramcallister4 How else will they continue to graciously accept diversity awards and humbly assume leadership roles with equity and inclusion in the title?

@bearaboi The isms that you were so strongly for and against will seem a lot more circumspect. And you’ll feel a lot more free to explore being different people than you thought you were.

@purnimabala @subtlesouI @BoJaneHorselady tried them twice in the past month. No results were returned.

@StatalieT @Abebab @threadreaderapp unroll please

@DinaPomeranz @OdhiamboFrank_O @jhaushofer Glad to hear. It would be appalling if top-earning faculty at some of the world's richest academic organizations could not bring themselves to do more to help the staff that make their grants, publications, and tenure possible.

[Prashant Rajan @rajanprashant]

@OdhiamboFrank_O @jhaushofer @suleimanasman @DinaPomeranz @AdinaRom @SuriTavneet Your statement reflects the problem. "few people", "meant for IPA network", "reach more people". The fact that IPA-affiliated faculty have to be cajoled through such semi-public appeals speaks for itself.

@esmedeprez @BW Just read it and found it extremely moving and illuminating. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
