Yeah, so, in case Twitter is gone when I get back from choir practice, you can find me on IG as electric_landlady. Or on FB I guess. Or through my website. Or…LinkedIn? (The only other Robin Marwick who shows up in search results is dead. I’m not him.)
Oh Jesus, this tweet was less than a year ago? Time really has lost all meaning.
(I stand by my original reply, btw. It’s not always that simple; if tech wants us all syncing our calendars, maybe tech should make calendars that fucking work.)
Is it true; people in academia don’t sync their calendars? Like, when you need to arrange a meeting with a colleague it’s a back and forth email conversation until you find an available date/time. Coming from the tech world, I’m in shock. #phdvoice #AcademicTwitter @PhDVoice

So the suggested text for this tweet is “Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary”
But I didn’t join X. I joined Twitter. Crucial distinction. #MyTwitterAnniversary

For people who want to know more about these small interactions, I highly recommend the @lingthusiasm episode on phatics: lingthusiasm.com/post/623851…
They are pretty universal, culturally specific, and confuse just about everyone at some point.
Some of the replies to this are…bad. Nutrition purity culture is out of hand.
Stop forcing your children to eat food they don’t like. You don’t eat food you don’t like. I will never forget the nights that I spent sitting at the table, crying, throwing up and being forced to eat food I didn’t like. It’s so common we joke about it, but it’s not okay.

I wonder as I block them if the payoff on running a video ad before the video in your sponsored tweet is worth it.

Or, commenter, I know this is a wild idea, but you could…actually learn math?

Two (OK, three) possible outcomes:
1. It will cost taxpayers more
2. It will cost taxpayers the same, but workers will earn less because profits are being skimmed off by private companies
3. Taxpayers pay more, workers get less (the worst of both worlds!)
There’s no win here.
