     @adrian just a note: you can enjoy this because you probably rarely get comments on your appearance on course evals but you might want to put a TW on it for women who teach. I wanted to dye my hair pink in grad school and Hank forbid it because he “wanted people to remember me for my work, not my hair”

     @irene ugh, yes, this is good reminder that it is an immense privilege that this is one of the only times I’ve gotten an appearance-based comment. (not to mention the well-documented bias in the actual substance/scores in course evals…)

     @adrian for Elba and the other women teaching faculty, the complaints are constant and don’t just come from explicit requests for feedback. One student complained that her voice was “annoying”. It’s depressing. (Not tagging her)
