Stop saying that at least the year is almost over! The year may end in May for you, but the rest of us still have 8 months of this shitshow to go.

When I successfully recommend a book for the dissertation
Can you please find a new background show to write to? We've seen Good Eats 6 times!
Partner is starting to prepare their syllabi for the fall semester and is creating both an on campus plan and an online contingency plan. I am not ok with the thought that this situation may go on that long.
We hit an important milestone in social distancing at our house today... Wait, it's only been a month?
Relationship issues will pile up too if you do this.
When I started grad school, I worked 8-12 hours/day, 7 days/week for most of a year. My body quite literally forced me to stop when health issues began piling up. Academic culture encourages us to pride ourselves on self-sacrifice & overwork, but it is NOT sustainable
Right now I'm really glad you're "not that kind of doctor." I don't think my heart or my anxiety could handle that.
4) those who can't think about anything academic right now because there's a freaking global pandemic going on
3) those still trying to figure out Zoom, their LMS, and everything online these days
After two weeks of social distancing with my academic and talking to friends in similar situations, I have concluded that there are four types of academics right now (as represented by Disney characters). All are ok!
Onto week two of social distancing and I have to say: you're that kind of lecturer?
@PHDcomics Is the plot going to hit too close to home and make us cry like The Five Year Engagement?
At least we're doing our part to help out independent bookstores?
Partner's library has closed and we've already spent $200 on books for their dissertation that were supposed to come via inter library loan 😞
While many colleges and universities have closed their libraries, others say they can't operate without keeping them open bit.ly/2WriLkF
So glad my partner is in the humanities and not dealing with this BS. It is unexcusable!
Dear all those who wish to pursue PhD in the future *Take note of all PIs who are expecting grad students to work in labs while the world is reeling with a pandemic, the PIs who think productivity trumps health and well-being* A MAJOR MAJOR RED FLAG @AcademicChatter
This publish or perish mentality needs to be suspended while we all face the possibility that we and many of our loved ones may actually perish.
It's ok that you're not writing as much as you want right now. Believe it or not, there are more important things.
As someone who has lived with an academic for almost a decade I guarantee this to be true.
