I am super open to leads and advice on how to pursue work outside of academia. But I do not enjoy math, so qual methods preferred. And “start your own business” advice will never appeal to me, as someone who watched both of my self-employed parents struggle w the hustle for life

This has to do with the debasement of universities and the commodification of degrees and credentialism. I would wager that major academic achievement has been sucked out of the system now as these degrees have become increasingly worthless and talismanic - so even though someone may have advanced degree's they are fucking DUMB and lack practical life skills.

Okay. We gotta be honest with each other here. You hold non-STEM degrees from third rate institutions. Honestly, even with a PhD, you’ll find it hard. At the very least, top 50/100 QS ranked unis would get you somewhere.
He ranks higher than she does on the grievance scale (see photo), so she answered him politely (see below). If it had been a white dude I'm sure he would've been permabanned:

I wouldn’t call Stony Brook third rate. It’s an R1 en par with UC Davis. I agree that pedigree matters but I take issue with the individualism in your framing. First gen ppl may not have the guts to apply to Ivies even if they have the GPA and that limits every school thereafter

#Trans friends, I am sorry that I omitted the “cis” prefix in a recent tweet referring to the threat of penises during rape interrogations. I should have said cismen, not men. I accept accountability for my words and their impact and am open to you pointing out when I cisslip

She made some comment about men's penises being threatening and the trans-activists lost their shit over the fact that she didn't specify "cis men" since of course as we all know, trans men don't have penises!
(Or "cismen"--there was also a separate blowup over her not putting the space in there. Really.)

1) academia is a hamster wheel that no matter what your position/pay grade/pub list, you'll always feel 2nd rate (well, if yr a woman); 2) you have kids? you didnt do your 20s wrong...
3) I'm 42, childless, divorced, still paying student loans, full time Uni senior lecturer AND teach yoga 15+ hrs/wk to eat/use my heat pump when i want. That's literally my extravagance; 4) Your work is fab; 5) Consider NZ?

of course this would be more convincing if xo hadn't spent the last 15 years whining that a 169 LSAT score and "T14" degree didn't guarantee us all chill 30 hour per week partnerships with plenty of golfing

I think she deleted the post. Sad! Hilariously, it was the trannies who finally got her, not all the people pointing out that her "PhD" is a useless credential when it's in sociology from a TTT.

I wasn’t going to post anything today, but I can’t stand the thought of being bullied into silence. The most agonizing part of the sexual abuse I experienced during my PhD program was the intimidation and silence. I am entitled to my voice. My challenge is to do minimum harm w it

For the benefit of trans people who didn’t already unfollow me- I want to repeat and emphasize that I am truly sorry I wrote a tweet that conflated gender with genitalia. It was careless and it hurt you. And I am sorry. I hope you accept my apology so we can move forward. (1/4)
People have mentioned my defensiveness. I cannot be convinced that this person who screenshotted my old tweet & then a DM between us was acting out of a space of caring abt trans rights. She derailed my tweet w a personal attack for fun. I defended myself against a bully. (2/4)
And while I am truly sorry about the cissexism in the offensive tweet, I take issue with the fairly massive accusation of transphobia based on a linguistic slip. Hence why I asked if the accuser had read my work. I think it’s clear that I am not transphobic. They hadn’t. (3/4)
I am grateful to people who point out when I mess up, if it isn’t done performatively and centered around the public shaming of me and discrediting my corpus. None of this is going to help trans rights. That’s all ego.
I am sorry. AND I can’t keep groveling. Both are true (4/4)

Well this is somewhat unexpected. She's got an XO marriage!

Is your concern, at the moment, a financial one, or more one of being productively occupied?

Not financial. Hubby's a good earner. I'd like to have a plan for financial independence for when he dies though. But hopefully that's awhile off (he's 14 years older)
