toasterazzi Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 So I dunno how many of you are familiar with the dog shaming site, but this is along the same vein.

toasterazzi Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 The one about having so many books you've never read/probably never will read describes roughly one third to half of my bookcase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champagne Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hahaha. That video is highly amusing. Yeah, my professor first showed that to me when I was thinking about Literature graduate school to pursue a tenure-track job in higher education, I suppose to make sure I got the real skinny. Long story, short. Here I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antihumanist Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 It's amusing, but it's also really irritating. Why would you embrace the "useless work" shit? Why don't you find a political/rhetorical purpose to your writing? Also, the idea that somehow reading the classics make an English scholar is also pretty reductionist. Jimmies are 30% rustled.

toasterazzi Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Update: Apparently, this tumblr was inspired by a philosophy one: http://philosophershaming.tumblr.com/. Also, someone has made a general graduate student one: http://graduatestudentshaming.tumblr.com/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
