I’d get let go so swiftly if I was academic admin. here in SoCal. Heavy rain? Cancel classes. Uncontained wild fires? Poor air quality? Cancel. the. damn. classes! It aint that deep.

A reminder—it’s okay to skip your national or subfield conference to stay home and prioritize your writing routine (or other important matters). Sadly, conferences are high costs, low rewards. You aint missin’ nothin’ by not attendin’—do you instead 🙌🏾
