i type with my fingers not my breath

i type pretty fast

I think pretty fast

I know it's not the whole world (🙄) but it is the kind of move more and more impoverished schools are going to try or are already thinking of trying. This is only the tip of that iceburg.

We saved our colleges and universities during Covid, no joke. But once the crisis ended our budgets get cut again, layoffs ensue, etc etc. academia business as usual.

this is my career and livelihood and I depend on it to pay my ever-climbing rent and keep my health insurance stable so my disabled spouse can stay alive, so yeah, I take it pretty seriously, dude. I've been overeducated, underpaid and under-appreciated for too long so I'm fairly cynical, full of thoughts and opinions, and exist only by the grace of coffee and cardigans. 🤷‍♀️ welcome to the internet?
