@JM_Sievert I do not: (1) work out in the morning anymore, (2) feed myself of my child (she eats breakfast at daycare), (3) shower in the morning How anyone does all that by 8:30am is madness

@patriottakes "Lesbian dance theory" is what they choose to say instead of "all social science and humanities", which is what they mean

I do not require cameras on in my class. Many of them keep them off. But the chat box is SUPER lively, on topic, insightful, wonderful. They’re doing great and whatever works best for them is what I will continue to do. @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

My fellowship application essays are officially done. Did I do enough? Are they compelling? Am I good enough? I know my answers to those questions are "yes". The result is out of my control. I did my best, now I hope. @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

I just realized I probably won't go on the TT job market again. I have a 2-year NSF postdoc starting soon, and by the time that's done my husband will be in his job and we will be settled. My #1 priority is keeping our family together and happy. @Momademia

"publish or perish" is a really terrible thing to continuously hear when you're committed to producing "quality over quantity". I'd rather have 5 excellent papers over 10 blah papers. and yet, I'm afraid it holds me back. @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter @OpenAcademics @Phdv

I realized today that if I never get an academic job, I will still be incredibly proud of my impact so far. Small though it is, it is still there. I'll be okay with whatever road I take from here.
