🌍 MIDDLE EAST ACADEMIA VIBES
-Prestige is imported, equity optional
- “Local but not Jewish?” “Muslim but not Iranian?” “Brown but not Emirati?” Good luck getting tenure
-Meanwhile, “Dr. John from Cambridge” still gets the keynote. 🫠

📖 African Academia Vibes:
– Power cuts during PhD defense? Classic.
– Strike? Budget freeze? No Wi-Fi? Just another semester.
– Underpaid, overworked, and undercited.
– “Dr. John from London” still gets invited to explain your own country.
