The field of rhetoric has been shitposting for over 2000 years. Just continuing the tradition.

lol, found a buried gem from the diss: "Kosinski's creation, which I annotated with a hearty 'Wat' on Twitter..." Twitter meta in academic writing ☠️
Another day, again beaten out for another TT gig by someone already years into a TT position. I'm excited to see their former university offer a 4/4, one year position paying $25k and never open another tenure line. 🙃🙃🙃

Looks like it's "I got tenure/I got a shiny new job, there's nothing wrong with the academic job system" o-clock on the Twitter feed

If I wanna be half the shitposter that Diogenes was, I really have to start training up. Any suggestions?

Also in honor of the way things seem to be in academic job marketing hell
ALT Distracted boyfriend: "Assistant prof who teaches a 2/2 and has published a couple journal articles"; "Search committee"; "Lecturer who teaches a 4/4 but has still written a book"

Can anyone explain to me why I'm writing a book when I'm probably not going to have long-term employment in academia? And almost definitely not a position that would care about me having a book? Sure isn't the huge piles of cash from academic publications!🤔🤔🤔
Rush Limbaugh's passing is the perfect time to activate the burner acct to like all the posts that might get me tossed out by a search committee if I liked em on main

Oh yeah, that vibe when you find out who got a job over you because they followed you on Twitter out of the blue

Is it too salty to add to my annual review, "I'd get a hell of a lot more done if I didn't have to spend all year applying to, interviewing for, and ultimately not receiving offers for a tenure track job?" Eh, who cares, did it anyway.

Holy shit. I have to resurrect this account just to marvel at something I noticed in a job post: they're asking for SNAIL MAIL JOB MATERIALS. IN 2020. "Please mark ‘Application for Communication Studies position’ on the envelope." LOLOLOL

"I don't even know where I'm going with this." This message brought to you by the stereotypical not-question in Q&A.
Science doesn't recognize contingency.. but you know what does? Yeah, you guessed it, rhetoric! Our Deus ex Machina!
