Okay, I really want to say 'you can just unfollow these people, you know' but this really is a compendium of why econ twitter can be super annoying sometimes.
And I say this as a first-generation PhD who uses game theory to bargain with her dog and is hate-lurking on EJMR (but I would never tweet these things because who cares?)
My favorite econtwitterbs themes are:
1. I’m the first person in my family who got a PhD
2. I’m such a nerd I use game theory to bargain with my kids
3. As a white male I can’t even comprehend the terrible obstacles that my female colleagues have to overcome everyday
4. I promised I would never visit EJMR again, but look at this screenshot of a mysoginic post I captured after three weeks of continuously monitoring that cesspool
5. My 6 months old just ate her first pizza slide: I don’t habe to cook for her any more!
6. A former student just wrote to me that my econometrics class changed his life forever
7. Personal news: In September I will be moving to ULRM!!! So excited about all my new talented colleagues
