If you've done ethnographic (or similar) fieldwork, what is one thing you would have liked to know beforehand to help you prepare? I'll be teaching a workshop for grad students ready to start research & I'm wondering what logistical, legal, personal etc issues to cover

@LStefan_AgroEco @Momademia So messed up. Do they know you’re on maternity leave? And what would happen if you didn’t do it?

@electricland My 15 minutes of fame

Oh Jesus, this tweet was less than a year ago? Time really has lost all meaning. (I stand by my original reply, btw. It’s not always that simple; if tech wants us all syncing our calendars, maybe tech should make calendars that fucking work.)

@Fa1ade 💪💪💪

I submitted my PhD Thesis 🫡🤎🏳️‍🌈

Why does cold brew taste so disgusting? Asking for myself

#diversitymonth @UniBasel 🌈⚖️ 😍

@Sung4Ji3 @AcademicChatter Horrific advice

Anonymous Question "I didn't report that I was sexually harassed by another grad student (about a year ago). Starting to regret not reporting, is it too late? (based in the US)"

@ladyrumbler @Diesunddas15 @Momademia I have a boy and a girl (not twins) and also get this comment. So odd.

@Diesunddas15 @Momademia I have boy/girl twins and people *often* respond to that info with “that’s great, you’re all done!” which I find to be such a bizarre response and I never really know shat to say to that.

Having a third child seems to allow for all sort of weird comments from strangers. I get asked often if it was planned and that this will be exceptionally stressful when the baby is there. Why do people make this comments? @Momademia #thirdchild #Phdmom #family

@PicturesFoIder Otto ? Oh, wait, that’s not a word, that’s an animal 😂

@mariaestorino @GeogSara I second The Sympathizer

🚨y’all it’s almost time for me to chill out & read fiction or possibly memoir (I am considering because I love heavy so much) pls help! My life depends on you ❤️‍🔥recently read books are upstairs/on kindle so suggest based on this random assortment, I’ll post those later 🙏💘🥺

Housing people, I'm looking for a movie or TV scenes that shows the mortgage and credit score process. E.g someone wants to buy a house and gets rejected because of a low credit score. Anyone?

Swiss table service is so terrifying. Like, I get nervous every time I need to order something because the waitron may/may not bite my head off. I just got lambasted for ordering “too quickly?” and now I’m expected to tip the guy? Imagine what he’ll do if I don’t

@LuisLD1 @PhDVoice Yes, I knew. I won a grant for the first year and what seemed like a simple task *find subsequent funding* now feels not so simple

@and_cities @PhDVoice I’m curious to know whether you knew before applying that you’d be funded only for the Y1. Were you aware of this? Was it discussed with your supervisor?

People of #AcademicTwiiter how did you find PhD funding? Any tips, tricks, secrets I should know about? I have my first year funded but after that I'm on my own and frankly, I'm starting to stress. Send success stories (or money)! #PhdVoice @PhDVoice

@paisleyredd @Flawless_Cowboi I’m on the floor 🤣

@Flawless_Cowboi Not mine but so wrong yet so funny

My 3yo looked down at our crumb covered floor this morning & yelled "Papa, come sweep the floors". I was right next to him but apparently sweeping is a job for dads. When I asked what my job is he said “you work" Looks like mission #SmashThePatriachy is well underway @momademia

@AcademicChatter Do you need to do course work? The best lesson you can learn - for your own health - is practice saying “no”. Coursework? No! Working on weekends? No! Working after 5pm? No!

Anonymous Question "I'm a PhD student who's been dealing with chronic pain for years. How can I manage my time effectively to keep up with coursework and research while also taking care of myself?"

@KLM @rob_mcivor LOL lol lol. This is a joke. We’re all heading for climate catastrophe and you’re making compost? 😭🙈

@rob_mcivor Thank you so much for your kind feedback 😀.

We're taking steps to reduce our environmental impact on flights within Europe by recycling coffee cans and pads. Our coffee grounds are being processed in a digester, generating green energy. And that's not all! At the end of the process, we're left with nutrient-rich compost. With these small steps, we are working towards a more sustainable future for the aviation industry. ☕🌱 #KLM #greenenergy #coffee #compost

@eva_rosen @ordinarysquares I love the cover 😍

Thrilled to announce our new edited volume w @ordinarysquares, The Sociology of Housing. The book examines the key role housing plays in everything from social networks, to health and racial inequality, and sets an agenda to elevate housing as a distinct subfield within sociology

Please tag the presenters if you know them ♥️

I was moved by a panel on Beyond Extensions with @ULIP_French @InhabitationLab and @XazaarAdjame so I wrote some poems adapted from the words of the speakers. This first one is adapted from Solomon Benjamin. A thread...
