not that kind of doctor

[bisforbutch]

Oi. New post.

Who ever mass reported me has a whore mother, irregardless. I had a long dono post up for a thousand by late January. I am still panicking about bills rent and food.

I was at 250, but it is negative 10 Farenheit where I am and I have been bonechilling cold and hungry in the empty new apartment. My home thermostat reads 58 at the highest setting. I just bought a heater today.

I still must pay my phone bill. My rent is 430. And man. A computer after alls said and done would help me get accept a job. I know a good shot but I must stay housed, its freezing and I have nowhere else to go. Most of my family is in hotels after a fire or far away, with kids. My dad's a hoarder. Its unsafe to sleep there with asthma.

Please help me survive. My goal is still a thousand by January 7th.

My phone and elec are not more than 100 but must be paid first. Im scared. The 25th isn't far. Its cold.

My cash and pay are both agenderdread

My V_nmo is deejwalker365.

I will reblog with kofi, my gofundmes and my publishing links. Every thing I do is a kind of free. But I appreciate this help. Mutual aid is a genuine passion of mine on the giving and advocacy end.

remember to do everything you can to keep your community healthy. mask up, wash your hands, quarantine yourself if you get sick (as much as your circumstances allow). help the people around you out if they get sick and need help surviving. we have to do everything we can to protect our communities and neighbors from illness, because the folks in charge wont.

More than 200 students completed their education in Gaza.

From a small tent where only 6 students sat, to a room that could accommodate 10 people, and then to a hall that included more than 50 students. Oh, the generosity of God.

We provided students with 500,000 hours of electricity and internet access.

More than 85% of the students who joined our spaces returned to their seats, regained their excellence, and raised their grades.

1,900 university hours were completed within the support spaces.

A period full of moments of hope… and tears of farewell for students who were with us and were martyred. Joy mixed with sadness, patience mixed with pride, and love for life despite everything. Hours we didn't understand how they passed, and we didn't believe that we were able to reach this point.

But we did.

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "For God to guide one man through you is better for you than red camels." So how about if, thanks to God and then your support, more than 200 students benefited?

Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. This is a legendary success story, written with your support, the determination of our team, the hope of our students, and the grace of God above all else.

But?

This dream was destroyed in the blink of an eye, and everything we worked for was in vain. This will not stop us, but will increase our strength, God willing. Slogan of the stage:

“My Story: A Boy Fighting for His Family”

My name is Ahmed, and I am 15 years old. I never thought I would have to carry the weight of my entire family, but here I am, fighting every day to keep them alive.

We lost my father in the war. He went out one day to find food for us because we were starving. It was dangerous, but he had no choice. He never came back. He was injured and bled to death because there was no one to help him. Our neighbors found his body and buried him because we couldn’t even afford a proper burial. That day, we lost everything—our protector, our provider, and our hope.

Now, it’s up to me. I am the eldest son, and I have to take care of my mother, my twin brother Ahmed Abed, and my two little sisters. Every morning, I go out to find work. I earn barely $1 or $2 a day, which isn’t enough to buy bread for all of us. My brother started working too, but it’s the same for him. We rely on bread and whatever humanitarian aid we can get, but it’s never enough.

Winter is here, and it’s freezing. We don’t have warm clothes, blankets, or even a heater. We lost everything in the war, and the little we have now is falling apart. We live in a rented apartment, and the landlord is pressuring us for rent we can’t pay. I don’t know what will happen to us if he throws us out.

I want my brother to become a doctor. It’s my biggest dream. I want him to help people, to save lives, because no one was there to save our father. I’m ready to sacrifice everything—my childhood, my education, even my life—if it means my family can survive and my brother can have a future.

Please, if you’re reading this, help us. We don’t have much time. My family needs food, warmth, and a safe place to live. I just want to see my mother and sisters smile again, and I want my brother to have a chance to achieve his dream. You can be the reason we survive. You can be the hope we desperately need.

quick question if I became a professor would I have to stop exlusively dressing like a west coast washington summer camp counselor or

it's not even my fault. i moved to alaska and everyone clowned on me for how "dressy" i was and then I got down to washington and my roommate was this cool girl mountain biker and I said I loved her look and I was like 5 pants sizes bigger than her so any time she went thrifting and found clothes SHE'D wear but were too big for her, she just GOT them for me like i had a personal stylist/shopper and now I look like i have a boyfriend named kyle from snohomish we're really into bouldering.

and you know what. i like that

[gallusrostromegalus]

I mean I've seen adjuncts wear Carhartts to class and once my art professor got tenure she declared that Not Even God Could Stop Her and started wearing Hawaiian shirts with enormous amounts of cleavage and no bra so I feel like you're fine

[shitacademicswrite]

Depends on the school and the program. Some areas of study - especially those that are associated less with the classroom and more with the field - can dress down more.

I studied literature, which is more of a classroom subject. Some places, like University of Delaware, where I did my MA, are dressier, and expect you to look nice when you're teaching, as a grad student or a professor. Other places, like Ohio University, where I did my PhD, are more casual, and as a grad student, I usually taught while wearing t-shirts and jeans.

I remember talking to somebody about the literature program at the University of Connecticut, and asking them if they expected grad students to dress up to teach, and the professor literally said, "Oh, no, the men don't wear jackets EVERY day."

So it really depends on the program and the local culture.

That said, once you've got tenure, you can get away with a lot...

yeah so I feel like there's a line in this cover letter that says "I'd be interested in working with Professor Albert Einstein! I think his work intersects nontrivially with my research area. Idk what he does but it sounds neat. Please hire me."

[as-if-and-only-if]

So, I think I'm finally going to apply to grad school for math!

But there are a few issues!

One issue is that I've got pretty severe ADHD. I think that means I ought to look for a professor first, and a school second. I think I need to find a particularly accommodating professor who's willing to take on unorthodox Ph.D. students.

Then there's the issue of: well, what do you want to do research in? And honestly, I kind of want to spend some time learning a lot of things in multiple areas of math. I already have a lot of exposure from taking mostly grad courses in undergrad, but I want to understand things more deeply. I don't want to be tied down to a specific area; generally, I'm interested in: understanding complex systems; connections between different fields of math; the foundations of "abstract nonsense"; fundamental theoretical physics; the places where group & representation & number theory come together; computer realizations of mathematical practice (UX for actually doing math research, knowledge organization, and formalization); and some more "philosophically-oriented" things which tend not to be part of any named fields. I've also got interdisciplinary inclinations and have some budding interest in nanotechnology; and I'd like to be in a place that mixes everything together, and exposes me to even more things to be interested in.

So really, I'm looking for either a professor or two who are also interested in all sorts of things, or a department that allows you the freedom to do all of this stuff at once! A lot of Ph.D. programs seem to signal that they prize specialization, but that's just not an option for me. Sure, I'll do a thesis about a particular thing, but ideally it'll involve a lot of things!

And that's another crucial desideratum: I want a vibrant culture. Far too often I hear about grad experiences in which the grad students are working away in isolation without much community or energy. I want to be around people who are excited about all of the things I'm excited about!

So, three things: accommodations for unorthodox working style; encouragement of interdisciplinary/wide-ranging interests; and a vibrant, exciting culture.

This is really a diary/processing post, but feel free to consider it a request-for-info post—if you happen to have any helpful ideas or connections, pls don't hesitate to share! :D

(I could also use some advice on how to find what I'm looking for, including pointers to groups of like-minded people or places to ask questions. Right now my strategy is "read the faculty bios on university websites, see if anything jumps out, and cold-email the professors", which, you know. We'll see how that goes.)

[phduh]

Hey! Current grad student in number theory here! I do not have ADHD so I can't speak to that portion of it, which I understand will be a significant consideration. So of course take this all with the appropriate amount of salt.

I would say that the first thing you should do is talk to your undergrad professors, especially in the areas you listed! Since they know you personally, they would likely have some ideas about which professors you would work well with in particular and who has a reputation as being accommodating.

From what you've said, it really seems like you would benefit from a large department with a lot of research areas represented (or at the very least, number theory and logic and maybe a healthy applied math presence too). A lot of people go into grad school not knowing what they're going to study, so you don't have to have anything more specific than what you listed figured out!

The best way to work out things like the vibe and whether or not there are accommodating professors is to talk to current students! (So making this post on Tumblr is probably a great way to get input on that front actually!)

Cold Emailing professors probably doesn't hurt and at least puts you on their radar. If they want to work with someone, I think they can usually advocate with the admissions committee.

I also have some specific suggestions for you based on the areas you listed, but I will DM them to you because I don't want my blog to like show up in a Google search of any of these people or schools haha.
