Zoey was very insistent on helping me while I worked on my dissertation today. I hope she realizes that dissertations are solo pursuits so she can’t be second author. I’ll be sure to thank her in my acknowledgments though #AcademicSky #DissertationLife #PhdSky @phdvoice.bsky.social

What did I do when I woke up at 4:30 AM and couldn’t get back to sleep? Started re-reading articles relevant to my dissertation about the formation and future, or lack thereof as argued by some, of Trans Studies as an academic discipline #AcademicSky #TransStudies #TransScholar #Dissertation

also should go without saying but this article's equating of people leaving a place because of, among other things, proposed tolls on highways with people leaving because their family was under direct threat by the state is wildly offensive www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/u...

*extremely* telling that the NYT frames a family leaving a state because their trans son literally could not get the medical care he needed as a "politically motivated move" and an abstract "issue" rather than one connected to their child's intrinsic humanity www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/u...

So my survey got attacked by some bots, and now I've lost 50% of my data. Please help me get to 1,000 real humans who actually meet my survey criteria? This sad PhD candidate thanks you in advance.

One couple moved because a catalytic converter was stolen, they saw someone in a hoodie, they feared imaginary needles, and they didn't want to pay taxes.
One family moved because the state made it a criminal offense to give their son necessary medical care.
These are not the same.

In the airport in DC-talking to a friend about my dissertation. I said the focus is the experiences of trans folks developing & sustaining their care webs. the woman next to me hands me a business card & says her son owns a lgbtq+ bookstore if I need help recruiting study participants #serendipitous

Fun fact: Thinking about #writing *is* writing!
Your brain needs time to digest, process, and integrate all that information into something that makes sense for you *to* write. #academicsky
