I had one hair stylist pause when I wanted to chop off all my hair and said “but you’ll look like a boy” and I was like “yeah that’s the point”
Luckily once I started to going to the (admittedly more expensive) alt hair salons they were more in tune with enby hair requests

In the States most folks can take more than 7 years for a PhD to be completed so I’m very baffled by people who think four years is “too long”

Forbidden gummy bear
We can all use a good miniature bear right now!
This exceptional figurine was discovered in a peat bog near Słupsk in Poland. It was carved from amber during the Mesolithic- Neolithic, ca. 5000- 2000 BC

This is like the opposite of what happened to one of my family members who had to bring in his birth certificate to show the nuns at his school that his given name was Frank so they’d stop calling him Francis

"Full funding" for grad school should include secure housing for the entirety of that students' time at the school. Either housing provided by the uni or enough $ to pay for a 1 br within walking distance. *All* of these living spaces should also be pet/family friendly, too.

Brown $75, Columbia $85, Cornell $105, NYU $110, Princeton $90, UNC-CH $95, UChicago $90, UMich $75, UPenn $90, and Yale $105.
$920 total.
How do people afford to apply to several schools ;^;

Absolutely. Also, the “he or she” is just clunky (personally I also think “s/he” is not only clunky but worse). “They” always flows so much better! So baffling when people can use singular “they” because it’s already in English, until you ask them to do it.

As an undergrad I lived permanently in the dorms for almost 2 years because I was homeless. If something happened like this happened back then, I would have had to find someone willing to take me in for x amount of time.

@mrlibrarydude
Students should be able to fall asleep in the library. If they're closing, I get waking them up. But if the students are paying out the wazoo to attend uni, then let them use the library, even if it's to sleep. If they're not disturbing anyone, I don't see the problem.

Guys help
Just had someone call the museum & ask if we had anything in the collection that Midas touched & it turned to gold
with absolute sincerity
I had to say, um, he’s a mythological figure, so we wouldn’t have anything like that. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, had a prof tell me to drop out until I was "better" when I told her if I had a dissociative episode I might mix days up and miss class sometimes.
Retook the class with someone else who would accommodate me & got an A.

I literally quit a library job recently bc I wasn't given too many hours anyway, I was burnt out, they were lax on masking rules which made me anxious, & the way they treated me was bad for my mental health. You are infinitely more important than that job & you deserve better.

PhD programs that would otherwise admit students but cut them off for lack of experience in languages should include funding/support for that incoming student to attend a summer language institute or intensive
If that's the only problem that should be part of the funding imo

When they put in the subway in Bulgaria, they found parts of a Roman town iirc, but they built around it so now as you're walking to the station in Sofia, sometimes there will be buildings outside & archaeology under glass inside next to the rail. It's amazing!

All I see here is "I'm bad at my job." I had a professor like this and I had to have a psych withdrawal from his classes. Twice. This isn't just bad teaching, but will definitely negatively affect the mental health of those students. If that's what they write, what do they say?
