We can do better than capitalism
“Historically, the most terrible things—war, genocide, and slavery—have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience.” —Howard Zinn
Heterodoxy has no place in a an institution that values diversity.
Simultaneously too many and too few.
How many more weeks do you have until the end of the semester/quarter, #AcademicTwitter?
Due to budget cuts, we are canceling your zoom speaker series. We know it didn’t cost any money, but it always looks good to cut things we pretended to care about.
Yes. Next question?
After more than 5 years in Academia, I have a question to ask. Is scientific publishing system a scam?
Perhaps the Democrats' plan of promising to do absolutely fucking nothing was not as wise as they believed.
When universities send messages of the 'official' or 'proper' channels through which messages should be sent, they mean channels where they can monitor and censor content in their own interest. I'll stick to Twitter, as that gives those without power a platform. #AcademicChatter
Democratic socialism is an ideology based on mutual love for our fellow human beings. That we are more than the sum of our labour. That we all deserve better. That there is a better way & we have the power to transform this world. Join the movement and let’s do it together.
Also accept that other students could have had more privilege and, simply put. luck and good fortune to build their CVs. Your work is not worth less, and you should be proud of every accomplishment.
Younger grad students: it’s not fair to compare yourselves to older grad students, who have had more time to build their CVs. Instead, be proud of yourself for what you’ve accomplished so far and just keep focusing on your experience.
1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣+ empty words from Justin Trudeau on systemic racism 1️⃣3️⃣4️⃣ days since I called on him to confront systemic racism w/ systemic change 1️⃣4️⃣6️⃣ days since he protested himself by taking a knee 0️⃣ the value of Justin Trudeau's words without action cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
All cops are bastards
Younger grad students: it’s not fair to compare yourselves to older grad students, who have had more time to build their CVs. Instead, be proud of yourself for what you’ve accomplished so far and just keep focusing on your experience.
Our plan for budget cuts? We are going to ask each department to anonymously vote off the weakest link. We’ll continue until we right size the department!
I'm increasingly skeptical of those who respond to calls for social and cultural change with being "unprofessional." I get it, you don't like being made uncomfortable by confronting your privilege and a system that serves only you. We want to change that. #AcademicChatter
Old white men complaining on the internet about needing a "safe space" to talk about science, not politics... as if most of us can separate the two.
Me during a meeting when an asshole has an asshole comment: “That’s a great suggestion, thanks!” What I’m actually thinking in my head:
Rather than state a position, we are going to appoint a commission to conduct a study and make recommendations!
The phrase "unskilled labor" is used to distract you from the fact that the work they are doing is necessary for society to function. Just because some necessary jobs require less training time than others doesn't mean those people deserve to live in poverty.
