I love it when my expertise overlaps with my boyfriend's interests e.g. the Keffe D trial.

Screenshot from a low-quality journal article (title: "Severe Anorexia Nervosa: Etiology and Recovery") abstract with highlighted text that reads:

"Emerging ... research and clinical observations indicate that spiritual and karmic factors ... may play a contributory role in illness persistence and recovery."

if you want to have a nice afternoon don't go digging around the Epstein files and definitely don't search for terms like anorexic and anorexia (or their common misspellings, because this man is basically illiterate) because you will find nothing good

Are you "suffering from burnout" or is it more like ... sparkling ennui? (it's perfectly okay to wish you were paid more or feel bored at work or find your colleagues tiresome or infuriating. AND not every emotion has to be CATACLYSMIC)

"Why does peer review take so long??" July 14: Editor emails me requesting peer review “in the coming weeks” I reply accepting, asking for article ETA so I can plan my summer commitments July 21: Editor simply says they need it “completed by September”. No problem, I can do that. I confirm.

the worst part is that this would almost certainly work really well, because we are sad, fragile humans whose careers are built entirely on external validation

how long till hadl*y fre*man uses the fact that she was anorexic once as the pretext for some bullshit take on the deliberate starvation of Gazans (i guess it'll be several months yet because she's famously slow off the mark and her bad takes are all pitifully tepid, too)

this is like buying a great Dane because you want a dog who can make you 3 feet tall club sandwiches.
A New York Times story titled "These Americans Went Looking for the Britain Found Onscreen. They Found a Different Story". The subheading reads, in part, "they moved across the Atlantic with visions of Jane Austen and Merchant Ivory. The reality was a little less dreamy."

This is BS. I ran for office in a red state and won with 80% of the vote. I regularly talk about my identity when I knock doors. The key is to do so a way that connects to other issues (e.g. being trans shapes how I think about ALL healthcare access, threats to education, etc.). It's that simple.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? "Performative" (Butler/Austin) doesn't mean something (statement, action, identity) is fake, pretend, showing off, artificial, inauthentic, false, factitious or merely lip service.
