Nooooo they do not. You get paid, at least at the last two schools I’ve been a student at, or a prep tech at, for “contact hours” meaning literally the time you’re alloted to spend in the classroom. Grading, prep, one on one meetings with frustrated or struggling student, etc....they assume you’ll do that for free.

I guess it would depend on the university. Right now as a prep tech, we do have student workers who get paid a very minimum wage, and are invaluable help to getting all the things we have to do done. But they had to take an hour cut because our budget got slashed again. The undergrads in research labs are strictly…

No joke, when I got my first quite ill advised degree as a theater tech, the first time I got a fund raising call I said “Let me stop you here. I was a theater major.” No calls ever again!

Christ on a cracker, that’s a CRIMINALLY LOW stipend and the same idiotic 70's boomer thinking. Blessedly, we usually had the option to teach over the summer if we couldn’t get grant funding, and it was less than the standard year salary, but it carried us through. I realize how lucky we were to have a chair who was…

It would depend on the university. At the mid-western public university I did my STEM Masters in (saw the Prof life and did not WANT IT) my Masters level stipend was no luxury living, but I didn’t go hungry and could afford the basic necessities. Foreign students without cars had an easier go of it without insurance…

OH MY GOD! Smart boards! I think our university got exactly two and hid them in shame in a seldom used building on a seldom used floor, and exactly one person requested use of one for his defense. What a pointless lark! At the university I work for as a prep tech we’re doing ok, but the T1 sports are getting a little…

Yeah, it’s been a weird thread. Can’t interpret some of the responses or original comments as “Trolling?” or “Failing at Social Justice via Tone Deaf-ness” The Nudie suit is an amazing and gorgeous bit of art made by a lot of people, the brain child of the comissioner, Nudie, Manuel, and the countless other folks who…

Oh no boo-boo. Read the article before you post it up like “Oh shit of course this dude stole from a Mexican bro” because oh look here, in that wiki you posted....
“It was through Viola Grae that Manuel met Nudie Cohn, famous for his grand, rhinestone-embellished “Nudie Suits.” At first, Manuel made shirts for Nudie.”

Nu…

Way ahead of you. I’m Irish (mostly), pale, shrill. My complete refusal to give up my combo witch-with-crow-and-raven-friends meets by way of Innsmouth Order of Dagon glamouuur results in people just thinking “Uh, so like...banshee? Yeah” And then they got me secret santa nameplate necklace that says Banshee. And I…

Plot Twist: You have to spend the entire winter never, ever, ever taking off your fierce faux in public fur lest some ruining-all-this-shit bro steals it, hides it, and you have to marry him. BOOOOOO.

She needs to fire whoever did her makeup given that it’s not even close to the rest of her skin and she still insists on keeping her hair a creepy fleshtone blonde with the female version of the American Psycho style her half brothers favor. I know daddy gives you like 300 to split with your ma on a beauty budget,…

Sure, however there is such a thing as being aware of your product’s title, and doing a little cursory searching to see what people looking for YOUR book might find. IE: People looking for Victoria Aveyard’s (sp?) “Red Queen” might also find books about a popular evolutionary theory, but those two side by side…

So we’ve established the writing is a fucking hot mess, the cover is 100% plagiarized, and its a clumsy ploy to get this author who was a professional groupie and or manager for some of the WORST bands ever, from what I can glean (oh and she’s already had a movie appearance in PAUL BLART MALL COP 2. TWO.)

How bout that…

Add to that Del-Mace’s second version of the Knife Thrower where you get the ladder and the over the knee stockings and background. It’s pretty fucking clear that shit’s PLAAAGARIZED. Because as we all know, really cool girls wear over the knee stockings with converse, and shorts.

Fun Story: I dated a guy from Lynchburg, also home to Liberty University, the odious Falwell family, and their like, weird creepy eagle’s roost mountain top retreat that every time we drove past boyfriend-at-the-time would say sagely “They’re gonna WACO there some day. Watch, they’re going to straight up lose their…

Sadly, I can’t disagree with that, because there’s probably a whole contingent of white comic nerds who’d pull the “Where’s the white guy? They made Heimdall black! So why can’t we make someone in Black Panther white!” because that’s the only flimsy argument they have, as they can’t deviate from previous arguments…

Protip: If you genuinely are a white person who isn’t a shitbag, you can read an assesment no matter how it’s worded and say “I understand your point, I agree that’s true” or even “I don’t agree with this” and not have to say “BUT NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE” because it isn’t about you and if you’re not a shitbag your…

Alternately “Technically” means “I’m basically an adult child and I’m not leaving my relationship because then I’d have to do for myself, and confront hard uncomfortable truths about who I am as an adult. So instead I’m going to keep pretending that Mad Men’s Don Draper was an aspirational figure”

Weirdly, I really needed this gif in my life today and didn’t even know it, so DOUBLE thank you

I’m just here to say I Luh You with the logic.
