they always claim to be having so many kids because they’re against birth control, but their views on birth control also conveniently expand the number of people who hold their conservative views very rapidly

“but I worked hard on my capstone project in my online PhD program, why are you calling it a notorious diploma mill that no reputable employer recognizes credentials from” like maybe the reason you struggled in a fake PhD program is bc you’re dumb. And from now on your being dumb ain’t my problem!

the most anti-academic leftists I’ve met in my life. Didn’t even know anti-academic leftists were a thing until I found so many of them on there.

Google tells me that this person filed in bankruptcy court in 2010…also has another essay about how she had to take a job boxing up bags of chips in a factory after she couldn’t get a rec letter. I don’t really feel bad for this person. Just don’t be nasty to your teachers!

like yes, if I were a thesis director, and a master’s student told me they wanted to use *a book they already wrote* as their thesis project, I’d look at them sideways. And I definitely wouldn’t write a rec letter
