Why is it when people talk about me on Twitter in contexts where they disagree they like to refer to me as "a Ph.D." something when they also have Ph.D.s? I guess they want to underline I don't have a permanent position? Nice fallacy — the disagreement is irrelevant to my job.

Anyway, when people send me these "in the wild" subtweets, I love the idea they attempt to softly discredit me because they aren't bothered to actually put in any other effort. I also love they spend time tweeting about, reading, what a Ph.D. nobody thinks. Checkm8 brofessors!

INB4: yes, people DM me subtweets about me from other accounts. In fact, that's probably how I see most shitty tweets in general since my TL is actually pretty wholesome.

INB4²: I graduated from my Ph.D. in 2014. Not that it matters, but it's kind of what these people don't realise.

I'm apalled that's the case, but also not surprised :/
