My friends & I were discussing this adage 👇🏽 in relation to restaurant/hotel reviews & public
personas and whether it is simply a way for oppressors & bad actors to maintain status quo by blaming those who voice their negative opinions as complainers, whiners or “Karens” - thoughts? #AcademicTooting

Brought this lovely back from #SanDiego #SFN2022 Happy Friday #AcademicTooting

So I’m new to the whole teaching and supporting students part of working at a university (instead of just researching). How strict are you with (interim) deadlines? For example, what if they’ve engaged but missed a deadline? #AcademicTooting #academicmastodons

… so is this when I call work and tell them I can’t work in the virtual tutoring center today? Description (because photos aren’t loading for some reason): A brown and tan Maine Coon cat lays his entire body across the keyboard to prevent internet access. 😂 #mainecoon #CatsOfMastod #WorkBuddies #AcademicTooting #edutoots
