M. Natasha Rajah MoirDeciding to not write a grant & focus on research & papers was the right decision.#AcademicMastadons
schoolingdiana@edutooters Anyone got a succinct resource for the Oxford comma? I’m in the thick of grading midterm English Composition I essays, and I’m only seeing a few instances in this cohort of students, but the specific students are going to need to read something that’s not written by me. Does that make sense? As in, I’ve gone over this in class, but they need it explained a diff way to get it. TIA. #englishteacher #EnglishComposition #AcademicMastadons #writingprofessor #oxfordcomma #Highereducation
Please try to avoid using lingo and complicated language to explain your study rationale or results. #TiredEditor #mentoring #AcademicMastadons
I’ve noticed the quality of my zoom talks are definitely negatively affected when everyone turns off their camera & I feel like I’m speaking into the void. It 💯 affects my engagement. Why not just ask me to send a prerecorded talk??? Would be easier for everyone 😊 #AcademicMastadons #ZoomTalks

Quinn DombrowskiIf you need something to break the awkwardness of a departmental or organizational (e.g. library) holiday party, I can vouch for the Academic Tarot Deck being an absolute hit: https://clairechenette.weebly.com/store/p5/Academic_Tarot.html

Academic Tarot
Artist Claire Chenette and the Visionary Futures Collective teamed up to create this original academia/COVID-themed tarot deck. The 22-card 3"x4" Major Arcana deck has gold gilded edges and comes with a handmade grad-student-print drawstring storage bag + 16-page full-color Reader's Guide.Academic Tarot evolved out of VFC's efforts to create playful, regenerative spaces and compassionate communities to support workers in academia experiencing the upheaval of the COVID era. The power of art, humor, introspection, and a good tarot reading can help us regroup as we begin to forge better futures. Together.

the mess within the academia needs cleansing. almost everyone within the system says the same thing. unfortunately, many of those who even complain or attempt to fight this menace, when they climb the ladder and shoulder the leadership of academics, even within the space of political terrain, they fight the academics whom they should be supporting.

As an Editor there are a few things I try to avoid doing: 1) sending rejections on Friday nights, weekends, holidays 2) sending reviewer invites on holidays & extending times to accommodate end of semester & holiday breaks. A little bit of consideration to make our lives a bit brighter. #BeKindToOthers #AcademicMastadons
