Everything happening in the academy rn is making me triple guess my decision to start a doctoral program. Not for nothing, I’m stubborn af and perhaps I have some gasoline on a fire to keep going pero……..

You know what’s fucked about this whole thing? Universities get damn near free labor from graduate students (which this instructor is; they are not professor) and there are almost no protections for them in this case unless they’re unionized (and even still…).

I want these Serena Joy ass bitches barred from public life.

This is the big one for me. If you absolutely cannot afford the book, GO TO THE LIBRARY. You still get it for free, but in a way that still *matters* to publishers. The libraries are one of the few socialist projects we still have. USE THEM.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
