Apologies for QTing myself but I wish I'd thought more about the retirement implications of devoting a decade of my life to not saving for retirement while doing my PhD.

So, the Ford government swapped a bunch of protected Greenbelt land for its developer buddies through a rigged process to build housing that could have been much better built elsewhere.

The developers stand to make billions. And no one is resigning.

Tenured prof: 'Make a professional academic website.'

Job market candidates: 'But there aren't enough academic jobs...'

TP: 'Make a Google Scholar page.'

JMCs: 'But there aren't enough academic jobs...'

TP: 'Work 70hrs a week'

It is WILD in the yr of our precarity 2023 to see so-called lefty tenured white male scholars pull rank & treat editors like crap. We do not make enough $ for that. We know your reputations & talk to each other. We have processes. It’s OUR JOB to follow them. Get over yourselves.

This genocidal law targeting queer Ugandans seeks to disown both our past and present
