🌿 California grown, grad school in the heartland, finally back on the west coast. First-gen, neurodiverse, living with disability. Opinions are my own.

We heard for over 2yrs that "we can't breathe with masks on" & now ICE can't seem to function without one.

Really disappointed with @United Airlines on my quick trip to Charleston, SC for a conference. They broke BOTH of my bags on the way out here — mine & my service dog’s crate, then charged me $50 for his crate on the way home. 1/

I’ve flown 20-25 times with my SD, & not once have I paid for his crate because it is a necessary piece of equipment so I can travel with my disability. @United, do better. #serviceanimals #travel #livingwithdisability #badflyingexperience

This passage from Michelle Obama: "I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior. His obvious mental decline. His history as a convicted felon. A known slumlord. A predator found liable for sexual abuse. All of this while we pick apart Kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y'all."

Let me state this in a way that makes sense: - If anyone pays out of pocket and waits for refunds for conferences it’s me. I’m paying for trainees to go and waiting for refund. Students and postdocs don’t need any more debt. (Neither do I. But I got the big hat now, so..)

So, so proud of all of the faculty at @CFA_United for standing their ground for what is right! #madeatsacstate 🐝
LARGEST UNIVERSITY FACULTY STRIKE in U.S. history - @CFA_United, the union representing 29,000 faculty members at California State University, has walked off the job for five days. Solidarity with the workers ✊ Shut it down! #CFAOnStrike

University students, when do you normally see your financial aid deposited? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #phdtalk #financialaid

Being so close to the end of grad school, I still find that I have to constantly remind my mom that I do not, in fact, know everything about science. A PhD just means I'm *very* educated in a teeny-tiny niche subject. #phdchat #gradschool #phdlife

Oh, we are supposed to be *functioning*? #5thyearphd #phalmostdone #gradschool
Being a functioning human being is overrated 😅

Your diversity statement is how you treat people, not the words you put on a page saying how you treat people.

This thread is an absolute disaster. What about the benefits grad students bring to a program or school?

I want to leave Matthew Perry’s own words here as the way we remember him. There will never be another like him- he lit up so many hearts in so many ways. Godspeed to Paradise!

100%. Kids learn all day, then are expected to do hours more homework once they get home. This is more than most jobs require. Children learn as much from play as they do from their teachers.
Homework is one of the most inequitable practices in education. Pass it on.
