I very much am a fan of setting shorter zoom meetings (20 min instead of 30, 45 instead of 1 hour). Then I use the extra time to step away from the computer, ideally to go outside for a few minutes. I've also committed to adding a week of work free vacation each year for the next five years

#Metoo ruined lives: the women’s. For the summer issue of Bookforum, I wrote about Christine Blasey Ford’s memoir “One Way Back,” the aftermath of disclosure, and what it means to be a public survivor when storytelling has proven futile. www.bookforum.com/culture/disp...

This is an appalling and horrifying story about the attacks researchers like @katestarbird.bsky.social undergo by those determined to silence any who call out their disinformation and other underhanded tactics. Very similar to what climate scientists experience but with even MORE vitriol.

Violent metaphors in contemporary American Evangelical Christianity are perhaps the central figure in my villain (aka academic) origin story.

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

Tired: professional associations should have codes of conduct Wired: professional associations should have gender neutral bathrooms Inspired: professional associations should have giant hooks to remove folks from the stage

Also, I deeply empathize - in 2016, I had so many studies in the field. I've only ever published one piece from that data because I was so depressed by being right about gender bias after the election

Honestly, I think you have to decide: - can I just take a few weeks off from my research because it's too depressing? - can I go on vacation? - can I find small research tasks to work on that are non-substantive?

Putting this here because it's like tweeting to the VIP section, but I'm gonna be on a search committee in the fall for a TT job in political science with a "data analytics" specialization. I'm especially keen to hear from PhDs who left for policy/industry that might want another go in academia.

A reason I like to travel is that it exposes me to the absolute psychotic behavior of the world. Like: - wearing leather pants on an 11 hr flight - ordering a combo of whiskey, tomato juice, & diet coke w breakfast - 4 adults holding hands & walking slowly in an international airport

You see this at the University level constantly; they claim not to have money to fund programs that might actually help students but there’s always $100m for the absolute dumbest shit you’ve ever heard of and when it inevitably fails they’re like welp better close the classics department

Just at the most basic level it is really unhealthy to have to thought about Donald Trump as much as everyone in America has over the last nine or so years. Spending a decade of my life thinking about a super boring, super shitty crook and all the bad stuff he's doing or might do. It's embarrassing.

Can vouch for this being an excellent side! It stands up really well to time too (maybe gets *better* sitting for a bit?) and is fine served room temp!
