Sometimes I imagine my life if I’e never come out. The self-hatred. The shame. The hooded, throttled sexuality. In exchange for universal acceptance. Fitting in. Lying to absolutely everyone, as a means of existence. I was lucky enough, safe enough, to take the step that ultimately saved my life.

Cancelling a subscription shouldn't be this hard. If you can sign up with a click, you must be able to cancel with one. Head to nyc.gov/click-to-cancel to file a complaint against any business that makes it hard to cancel a subscription.

So one philosophy is it's like going into the family business... except that as an industry, academia is super gatekeep-y. So I don't like this euphemism. In general, it's exponentially more challenging to get into PhD programs today, let alone a tenure track position, compared to forty years ago.

If anything, NYU should give us (me) money 😊 My family is still bitter they didn't encourage me more in the RA interview process. Real financial problems with that institution.
