mudlark Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Does anyone have some lighthearted blogs about grad school and academia to share? My faves are the fabulous gif blog wheninacademia.tumblr.com and the sadly-no-longer-updating academictimgunn.tumblr.com. I also just discovered a new one, englishgradstudentshaming.tumblr.com--it's like that dog shaming blog, but for English nerds. My dashboard could use some new material, though--suggestions?

wanderingalbatross Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 whatshouldwecallgradschool.tumblr.com Andean Pat, RubyBright, mop and 1 other 4
booksnlooks Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Another great tumblr: http://allmyfriendsareacademics.tumblr.com/ floridabio 1
RDA_88 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 there's a whole line of "whatshouldwecall"s they're all awesome! For example: whatshouldwecallarchitectureschool. All true. And then there is PhD comics of course...
Cookie Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) i just found this website, not academia per se, but the nerdy humor in the comics I really appreciate http://theoatmeal.com/ one highlight is this: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/religion Edited March 31, 2013 by heartshapedcookie ProfessorChaos, csibaldwin and Bluth. 3
RubyBright Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Definitely PhD comics. (Piled Higher and Deeper)
Andean Pat Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 i just found this website, not academia per se, but the nerdy humor in the comics I really appreciate http://theoatmeal.com/ one highlight is this: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/religion In general OK, but that special one I find it offensive.

Cookie Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 In general OK, but that special one I find it offensive. Mentioning religion in a public forum? My bad :-) compiler_guy 1
compiler_guy Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Mentioning religion in a public forum? My bad :-) :-) Cookie and compiler_guy 2
galateaencore Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Mentioning religion in a public forum? My bad :-) or it might be because that comic is stupid pears, ProfessorChaos, Andean Pat and 3 others 1 5
Andean Pat Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Mentioning religion in a public forum? My bad :-) I found the comic offensive, not the mentioning religion.
Andean Pat Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 or it might be because that comic is stupid I wonder why people are giving -1 to my early post and this one. Is OK to post against one's religion but it is not OK to find it offensive? Furthermore, I did not -1 heartshapedcookie's post because she did not mean to offend anyone, she just shared one she particularly liked and I only said I did not like it. Period. That is a forum, saying what you think without offending other people. I did like the comic, but that does not mean I was offended my the post. @heartshapedcookie, I suppose you know this, right? Chai_latte, mop and Cookie 3
Cookie Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 @heartshapedcookie, I suppose you know this, right? Yes, I do! Actually broad minded enough to know that! The Oatmeal's humor to me, can be crude at times (ridden with foul language haha), but the underlying ideas in his comics I can relate 100%. And as a religious person myself, I see no offense in that comic pears and Andean Pat 2
