My opposition to capital punishment is definitely challenged by the fact that Canvas will not clear the notification that I have unread inbox messages, when I fucking do not have any unread inbox messages.

I can't do this, it's too much.

And I can't afford to pay anyone because I don't get paid until March.

Well, just learned that one of my classes will be canceled because of low enrollment, even though it has already met once (something that would have been unthinkable, even last year). Dominoes are falling even faster than expected. #AdjunctLife #USPol #HigherEd

I don’t see why I should have to grade all these assignments, just because I’m the one who created them, assigned them, distributed them, and insisted that students complete them. 🙄 so unfair!

Happy first ✨day of class✨ (and all the questions, concerns and panic that come with that) to all who celebrate

#teaching #adjunctLife

So… at my university Moodle‘s down, but apparently before it died it sent out emails to my students saying that their assignments are overdue. So, lots of emails to me today 😂😂🫣

Today a #nonbinary grad #student told me I’m the first visible nonbinary #teacher they’ve ever had, and that they’re so happy to be in my class

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

2nd week of the semester (remote, async program).

Went back and watched the intro video I made.

I guess i was feeling 🌶️ , cause I said:

“I don’t assign group work, and I don’t assign busy work. I take this course seriously and I want to see that you do as well. I justify the readings I assign and I encourage you to hold other instructors to similar standards if this is important to you”

I finally finished grading my student's midterm exams. I know I shouldn't want a cookie for just, you know, doing my job. But I do.

That time I left the house so I could focus... and still couldn't focus.

My brain is out to get me this week.

When, as an #instructor, I’m #grading and feel the need to write “this is a very interesting approach to this assignment,” I really don’t mean it as a compliment

#teaching #adjunctLife

Forgot to pack my headphones.
No batteries in my portable mouse.
Today is not off to a great start.

Pity my students. Imma be winging it. Big time.

Might as well add some more hashtags here: #adjunctlife @academicchatter #enshittification

Being an adjunct is so weird, my semester started this week and to date the only employee I’ve had a personal interaction with was the super helpful woman who certified my I-9.

No one has talked to me about the department and its mission, about the student body, about the course. No one made sure I could access canvas or zoom. No one checked my syllabus. Did I show up on the first day of class??? No one except the students has any idea.

That feeling when you're technically employed but seems like you'll never find a job. #AdjunctLife

@mlibicki #adjunctlife stinks

And… I am NOT moving on to the next round of interviews for the job I super want(ed). That’s #AdjunctLife. I guess I’ll have more time to be a creator?

no, YOUR juggling a comical number of classes and are getting confused about which is which

Teaching at different universities is wild. It’s a great way to learn different ways of doing things and where different strengths lie (and how to properly judge that some places just suck 😂)
