God, I want to burn academia to the ground. My thesis advisor was recently accused by a colleague of creating an “unlivable environment” with her “indifference to academicians,” and she was quietly upset but I was in the background like yeah that’s… why I chose you…

[Narson]

@helvetica I had a great main supervisor. Have also been called ‘the worst PhD student they’ve ever seen’ by another academic who was having a bad day. The economy is just becoming more and more exploitative, and forcing good people to do bad things. And the wider economy of HE is getting to that stage where departments have to just hold on and hope. And the last department alive will get to keep their jobs in their part of the market. And take on crippling workloads. It’s like musical chairs with sadists, but with people’s jobs being on the line.

RL peeve, it was colder this morning and my joints ached. 3 months away from 40 and I feel like I’m falling apart. Though I guess the good news is that my favorite sports press conference of all time becomes more relevant for me on a personal level.

@Narson a) Fuck whoever said that. b) The biggest joke of the student debt crisis is like… where that money goes. Our deputy department head has to moonlight at a fucking eyeglasses boutique.

The real good news is that it only gets worse from here!

Awesome. Can’t wait.

Meta peeve about the board: I need more people to pick an avatar so that you’re all easier to tell apart at a glance.

You will suffer through my chosen color and you will like it. Also I’m taking suggestions.

Today I thought a person with the same letter and color replied to themselves and the cognitive dissonance was real. I’m a simple creature.

I was being lazy but I fixed it just for you.

[Testament]

@dvoraen Same.

However, I do want to note that I find myself staring at @Roz’s icon.

It’s so mesmerizing. And colorful. Like hypnotoad.
