you have spent 76382 minutes feeling like an absolute failure and trying to figure out what else to do with your life.

happy 2025!

you have written 81 cover letters and half a journal article. you have attended 8 conferences and only 7 gave you panic attacks and impostor syndrome. you have spent 42 weeks waiting to hear back (about jobs, publications) and cried 18 times over rejections.

you have received 156 student feedback sheets and only 8 were *really* mean; you have read 438,000 words of assessments and 50% were AI-generated. you taught the exactly same thing 7 times over each week and found ti soul crushing.

you have been found unwilling and unwell by seventeen thousand emails and attended 43 meetings that could have been emails. you have ignored 17 teams invites, and had your camera turned off for a total of 54 hours.

I found this out from @suzanarahde.bsky.social so she deserves all the credit! Before she told me I was manually trying to remake all my playlists for months 😂

They might need to be favorited on Spotify, or saved but here’s how: support.apple.com/en-gb/118249

high time we elevate men's voices and centre men's stories, they've been marginalised for far too long (like six months tops)

I switched to apple (not much better lol) and discovered you can move all of your playlists (even the ones that aren’t yours)

i feel like i'm just in a very different academia 😂

Hahahahahaahha love you too!!

That show was so horrific to watch and also so fucking necessary. I still think about it regularly
