      The entire Higher Education sector economy.

      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…

        @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.

        When someone shows you who they are, over and over again? Believe them.

          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.

                            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 want something else to get me through this

                              I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

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

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

                                      This is a terribly minor first world RL peeve, but I have to share it because it just happened and I am upset.

                                      When the bag of pita chips runs out before the hummus does is so irritating. And I bought them both at the same time. I just want to be able to eat my hummus without running out of pita chips.

                                          I have to go to a destination wedding.

                                          One of my earliest childhood friends, so I must be supportive. They gave us 3 months notice on the save the date, and final details only emerged about a month ago. This made all of the bookings extremely challenging and expensive.

                                          I’m scared of flying.

                                          I hate the groom.

                                          This is not going to be a good weekend.

                                            Oh nooo, we made a mistake with HelloFresh this week. In that, we threw out all of the meat accidentally. It gets packaged under its own layer of cardboard and insulation!
