A student cried from stress in a meeting with me today & then said they were embarrassed. I told them about the time I loud ugly cried in a prof’s office during my MA programme. They said knowing that helped. How many of y’all out there have cried in a prof’s office?

I’m hopeful they will see all these replies & feel validated & normal. Thanks for sharing, everyone https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz">

I figured this was common but I didn’t expect it to resonate this much!

While y’all are here, please see my pinned tweet—one of my former grad students needs some support
