Academic Tantrums, PhD (Parenting while Holding Dissertations)
@academictantrums.bsky.social
Where research meets toddler tantrums. Just vibes and grant rejections. Lecturing from Down Under with a toddler on mute and a deadline on fire. I do not have time to post but I here I am. Little publishing and many complains. Real anecdotes made posts.
Some white Aussie casuals teach with minimal effort: recycled slides, zero prep, open disdain for international students. No pedagogy, no care—just vibes and arrogance. Meanwhile, PhDs waste their talent standardising content like it’s factory work. #AcademicColonialism #TeachingByTemplate

📖 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.
