Is this 🧵 bobbin emoji a well-known and accepted abbreviation for "thread"?

Example: "👀🧵" 👉 "see also, the thread (above/below)"?

It's a 7 day poll. Please boost, if you don't mind.

Dear undergraduate college/university #students in the USA,

I know you've been taught that it is "professional" to use #business #jargon like "reach out," "circle back", etc., and phrases euphemistically avoiding direct disagreement (e.g. "How can we resolve this?") or responsibility (e.g., "An error was made...").

You should know that many of us became professors partly because we did not want to be bankers or middle managers. In fact, many of us have issues with the commodification of the world in general and absolutely reject its intrusion into higher education.

For those of us in this boat (and I think it's quite a few professors), I am letting you know:

We fucking hate that language. Hate it.

Habitually I provide the url, but if you do not need to, I would not recommend this for human reading. I fully grasp the concepts trying to be described, I just reflexively resist the way it is presented.

Ironic for something trying to explain how to implement the separation of data, code and presentation, that it so quickly devolves into #Jargon & #Technobabble
