Imagine spending 10+ years in college all so some tenured dork with fewer pubs than you can compare you to day-old baked goods

One time I used the phrase "be ever so fucking for real" in a meeting with a dean. One time I told the asst dean I "didn't want to hurt his lil man feefees."

(It should be noted I am very very good friends with both deans, I do not recommend trying this with a dean who is not your very good friend)

Tell me you've never taught at a university without telling me you've never taught at a university...

What I want: To be able to easily submit final grades

What I got: The 500th instance of a university admin and IT department being too incompetent to function

It was a cultural analysis of a witchcraft case from Santiago Guatemala where a woman coughed up strange objects.

My Outlook and Zoom are completely out of control now.

I’m extremely lucky in having gotten postdocs but I’m financially destroyed, I have no home or life, but hey I really really love my contingent jobs 😭

I’d have had such a better financial life, and probably just been generally happier, if I had just stayed a damn waitress.

It is unethical to vastly overproduce PhDs. It upends lives &families & impacts mental health when, after years, these folks can’t get jobs. Departments should check themselves.

That would be super!

Oh that’s a good one! I have never encountered someone in trouble for a tattoo yet. I’m jealous.

I am more positive that you are watching the Flyers and not the Phillies than I have been positive about anything in my life.

The next time I have the joy of seeing her, I will have to ask her about the turkey fucker 😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂
Read some Tortorici too while you’re at it!
Or the edited volume he put together, Sexuality and the Unnatural.

Oh man. I’m teaching the modern LatAm survey next spring and was going to assign some of Mexico’s Cold War (but probably from the new one too let’s be honest). Does that count if it’s in the future?

Hi friends: I'm assembling my file for promotion and want to include a list of classes where students read my work. Please let me know if you have assigned my books or articles! Thank you!! #History 🗃️

(Also, if you're assigning my work, THANK YOU and I'd love to Zoom with your class!)

I don’t know, have you read feminist historians on this? We get soooooo deep into it. Between Bristol, Few, and Von Getmeten I definitely have traumatized my students this semester.

Glad for his abridged translations for undergrads though!

😂😂😂😂😂

Awwww.

No, no. I fear I am still hopelessly in love with my far far away political philosopher ex. Blehhhhhhh

Heckin embarrassing

Dear hot archivists in Philly,

I am single. Call me. Bring me home. 😂😂😂😂😂

(This is a joke, please do not call me)

Oh wait, but have you tried googling her? She doesn’t exist 😂😭

This is Bluesky, not any one of numerous departments at your university whose classes you should have taken at some point.

Lmfao she tried to drag me into her Naomi Wolf-esque origin story. Absolutely not my fault no one taught her how to read 🤷🏻‍♀️

Whaaaaaaat

It took me way too long to understand why 😂

I got sick of them 15 years ago 😂

IMO people could just have stayed Protestant. Presbyterians even have exit clauses for the salvation of people who lived like pieces of shit.

In 400 years we went from Catholics force converting a huge chunk of the world to Catholics (including descendants of those forced converts) not liking converts.

(Not that converts were ever trusted lol)

Times remain entertaining for the Inquisition historian.

Oh this is just so funny though. (I hate it)

Oh look, my favorite trend
