Two months ago I wrote about being denied for Twitter Academic Access. Yesterday, inexplicably, I received an email from Twitter stating that I was approved for Twitter Academic Access.
Much like the rejection, the approval is pretty opaque. I didn’t appeal, because you can’t appeal. I’m very grateful to have access, but also extremely confused. Maybe I shouldn’t be bothered by the insectoid Gregor Samsa letting me know that he approves of me, and my trial is over. But, this is a pretty big problem, and again, I can’t imagine I’m alone here. Why the rejection? Why the approval out of nowhere months later?
…a couple hours after writing the above paragraph, I see this Tweet, and the mystery is resolved!
@IgorBrigadir noted that you had received a rejection so I've been working behind the scenes to reverse that decision :)
