There are many PhD programs that do not allow outside employment as well!
RT if you’re a PhD student and your salary doesn’t cover your basic needs so you have multiple jobs to make ends meet. I’m so tired of feeling stretched. @AcademicChatter

Made my #birthday cake this year. Def didn't turn out like I planned but still turned out alright. @NailedIt here I come! 😆 The dinner turned out better lol. #homecook #baking #nailedit
Flowers from my fiancee's mom delivered to my work + literally all of my coworkers singing to me + some of my coworkers giving me candy & making me wear a bday sash + watching Miss Congeniality while I eat dinner w/my family = a good bday. ☺️ #birthday #teacherlife

1. To understand Iran's protests it's striking to juxtapose images of the young, modern women killed in Iran over the last week (Mahsa Amini, Ghazale Chelavi, Hanane Kia, Mahsa Mogoi) with the images of the country's ruling elite, virtually all deeply traditional, geriatric men.

When you develop PD for SPED services, make sure your training is accessible for those of us who need some of those services. #EducationForAll #teachertwitter #disabilityinclusion #accessibility

Getting a Google Voice is one of the best things I ever did for my college students. Emails are great, but texts are easier. I also schedule phone conversations for students who don't have time for a full-on meeting for the help they need. #collegelife #AcademicChatter

We also used cardstock, which is awful for this but it was the best I could do in my classroom 😆

I do not bc I'm extremely awkward on camera lol. But I learned how to do it on TikTok! If you search origami puffy stars, it'll pop right up!

I know students might feel special when a teacher recognizes them, but they don't realize how special it is for students to recognize us & run up to us for fist bumps or hugs yelling hello bc they're that excited to see us.🤗 #teachersoftwitter #education #BackToSchool

Origami puffy stars. I do projects like this to help students get used to how I give directions & see how well they work in groups. Plus, I get cute classroom decor bc I put the stars in a beaker for display.✨️ #teachertwitter #STEMeducation

I feel like "Research Project from Hell" is sufficient

We have a preschooler, kindergartener, middle schooler & highschooler. My fiancee is in college. I teach highschool & college. Please keep us in your thoughts as we begin the schoolyear.💀💀💀 #parenting #teachertwitter #BacktoSchool2022
Starting the day with hot tea, stretching and reading a book makes the day easier. The magical thing about life is that you don't have to wait until the end of the workday to do things you enjoy. #teacherlife #mindfullness #selfcare #mentalhealth

Love what you do so that you never have to work a day in your life 🥲

Set some solid work/life boundaries and maintain them. Have ways to express self-love but don't wait until things are tough, do it every day.

My favorite thing to do when I'm out w/my kids & they say/do something weird is to go "What the heck? Who raised you???" #ParentTwitter #momlife
