Me: Academia is a serious fuck! It's a horrible institution as a whole!!!
Also me: -feels horribly out of place outside of academia, unsure they could hold a day job for any period of time, wants to be a professor-
🙃
@witchfynder_finder @lizardsquid hey sympathetic voices on the inside are real important y'know
my butch lesbian professor / major adviser is probably the only reason i graduated at all tbh
@kibi @witchfynder_finder @lizardsquid i second this, my gender studies prof (and some of my dad's teacher friends) gave me hope even tho i flunked his class
@lizardsquid @witchfynder_finder @kibi also i was in the same place as you and avery several years ago, i really don't think it's a bad idea to want to improve that space by working in it
@lizardsquid Like it's this whole horrible mess of a thing but also what else am I good at but being a nerd and teaching people?
