Hi #academictwitter: Reaching out for help in spreading the word about Barrett Watten, an abusive professor whose behavior has been covered up for decades. WSU may be content with staying quiet and hoping the protests fizzle out, but we will not stand for that. #SpokenOutLoud
What are universities doing to help graduate students during this time? Many schools have delayed TT clocks and allowed incompletes and/or P/F for undergraduates. I’ve heard little about accommodations for graduate students. #AcademicChatter
AMPLIFYING: the latest egregious #MeTooPhD abuses, this time by @waynestate prof and serial predator Barrett Watten. #believewomen
Please sign if you haven’t yet. Esp. elders in poetry, whose silence I’m tbh shocked by, given that we’ve all seen BW lash out in public many times. Also, I just have so much respect for Isaac and Molli for coming fwd. I didn’t have it in me when I was in their position
I signed this very important petition affecting current grads at Wayne State, and hope others will also, particularly elders in the poetry and academic communities who have witnessed Watten’s abusive and toxic behavior patterns first-hand. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

You know you’re in a PhD program when you ask your cohort mate how they are doing and they reply’ “I’m ontologically tired and exhausted” #phdlife #coffeshopstruggles #phdstruggles
Departmental meeting Me: what are we doing to support and prepare the, something like, 80% of grad students that won't go onto the tenure track? Them: *blink blink* Someone: *whispers* did you say 80?
“Academia is not a great job to do.” ...seems accurate
Jumping on board this twitter trend: Type “Academia is” and let predictive writing finish your sentence.
