my TA stipend in grad school was below minimum wage for the city i was in 💀 efforts at unionizing were repeatedly shut down by the school’s admin and our contracts meant we also weren’t allowed to take outside jobs (people did and profs would just like, politely ignore it)
It is very hard to support graduate student unions. You are already in an incredibly privileged position, often making $60+/hr, & getting paid for 20hrs/ week while often only working 2-3 to prep a lecture, and then maybe an 8 hour day of grading 2 or 3 times a sem for exams

things i’ve done today instead of obsessing over a piece of media i don’t like: trying to figure out if the dc congressional reps can vote for party leadership stuff as non voting representatives, scheduled some medical appointments, talked to my parents, etc.

but also if you’re this distressed over a romance book…. please get some real problems. please take the energy you’re expending on this thing you clearly don’t like and do something useful and if you cannot possibly do anything but consume media find a different media to consume

also wdym “i wish i could stop caring about this but it’s not that simple” i have shifted out of so many fandoms it’s literally so easy! i was doing it in middle school! it’s harder to *not* do that unless what you really care about is engagement from a specific fandom

it’s been said by many other people before so this is not new at all but i really don’t think that whole crowd likes shane hollander!! they like the weird woobified version they’ve invented that’s wearing hudson’s face

they don’t care to understand hockey (i don’t really either but you don’t see me adding my uneducated 2 cents or getting mad about things i don’t know anything about), they don’t care to read the source material, and they project their own bad relationships onto the characters

why has the screenshot reader brigade convinced themselves that shane was traded to the centaurs, he’s a free agent and was therefore able to negotiate contracts and choose where to go
first time i’ve been glad our beloved family dog died last year so we don’t have to keep giving you money for his prescription food
