Approaching 2 years post PhD with no hint of a job prospect. Probably approaching time to give up


PhD in something pointless....?

already have a masters degree, already ran a marathon, have gotten and grown out bangs multiple times, almost moved to a foreign country and then dramatically decided to stay at the last minute…. literally what is left for me to do for attention

we should all start texting each other like old timey explorers ‘dearest friend, i have survived another week. the horrors persist.'


If you google 'socio-onomastics' my thesis is the 7th thing to come up - not to brag but I'm famous


In my experience this is the job of EVERYONE in academia who has ever read my writing...

My job in academia is to tell people the things they think are good are actually bad.
