Stop talking shit about yourself in front of me like I won’t pop you for talking about my friend.

Hi, I have a question for #acadmeicsky and #phdsky. I’m writing a paper that I’ve been thinking about and constructing with community for awhile. I submitted a conference proposal about said paper and now this same entity is doing very similar research…

In honor of Nikki Giovanni passing:

i hope i die
warmed
by the life that i tried
to live

For whose sake is this researcher doing research?"

finally finished downloading my limewire wrapped after 20 years

I love looking at my Spotify wrapped like it’s my yearly review. It brings me so much joy. But #spotify, this AI podcast thing is a lot. Karen and Bill telling me how much I like Doechii is wild…

I stayed up until 2 reworking my final paper, in bed, on my phone. Nobody can ever say I’m not a researcher ever again!

Writing final papers as a PhD student is a wild experience because I both know what I’m talking about and also have no idea what I’m talking about while having little motivation to write it because I’ve been in classes too long and I’m exhausted.

That book you’ve been meaning to read waits for you.

Also, autoethnographic research has done so much for me since I started my PhD. Just made a colleague for life in class talking about my research because of this shared lived experience. This why we do this! #phd #phdsky #livedexperienceresearch #academiasky

Making a theory is wild, especially as a lived experience research because what do you mean I have to justify the thing I literally went through so an evidence based practice can be made? Like do you just want a blog post from 2012? #phd #phdsky #academiasky

This Native American Heritage Day I have been reflecting on the erasure of knowledge through colonization, not as just the mass genocide but the slow insidious nature of epistemic oppression. #nativeamericanheritageday #nativehistorymonth

Also, hi. I’m Isaac. I’ve sat on this account for a year and finally decided to transition from the reimagined bird app over here. I’m a PhD student. A blerd. A Beyoncé Stan. A digimon over Pokémon kind of they. And my hot takes are theorizing all fiction as if it’s speculative. #phdsky #edusky

I need classrooms, at all levels of education, letting students know that most of them are Gulinda/Glinda and they’re not wicked. A honest conversation about how being very mindful, very just oriented, very wicked makes you a villain. Elphaba is a story about becoming not being. #wicked #edusky
