how do you respond when a student emails you asking if you have any dietary restrictions because they want to bring you food/drinks? #AcademicTwitter

Tell them you’re allergic to *cheap* whisky 😃

Hmmm depends on if you are okay with them bringing you food? I’d probably say “that’s not necessary, but thanks so much for the gesture!”

I'd absolutely tell them. Back when I started my program, one of my students brought me a mooncake for lunar new year, and the kindness of that little gesture is one of my favorite memories that helps keep me going when teaching seems futile.

What's the problem? It's most welcome. A kind gesture in a frozen world?

I say that’s kind. And I prefer Cheetos to Doritos.
