I will answer questions directed my way to the best of my ability
However I am not on the survey team and am also not interested in your opinion about the fact that they’re using a google product for the survey so please keep that to yourself.
(If you notice any major oversights in the survey *design* eg, questions assuming a single partner, and don’t want to provide feedback with the survey team directly I will pass those along)
It’s the time of year when I ask people to go take the #Ace Community Survey!
Emphasis on the community part — people who do not currently or have not ever identified as ace are welcome to take part if they are interested & in fact having some comparative data from non-ace participants is helpful for the survey teams data analysis

"I always support critical thinking about what we create and why. The 'why' behind what we like — as well as why other people might have issues with it — can help us create and consume content more effectively. However, at the end of the day . . . '[d]ark' content in fandom is a safe outlet for people, more so than it is a tool to harm other people in fandom."

Something's got the crows in a tizzy today
Academia, networking meta
I am actually not bad at networking it’s just very high stakes for me bc ~institutional systems set up to put me at a disadvantage~
And also because email is the fucking worst
Academia (good news tho)
One of my classes was a half semester course so our last meeting was tonight, and the prof very casually pulled me back when everyone was leaving to check what my plans were after school and oh, was i aware of these fellowships his program runs that i could apply for? He’d be happy to write me a reference if I was interested in applying
Except then I needed to double check some info he gave me, which meant emailing him and it turns out someone saying very nice things about you doesn’t actually make emailing them about research opportunities any easier!!!! Going to go lie on my floor and recover instead of doing any homework now. You know, as a very professional academic who’s definitely qualified for this fellowship program would

In addition to Kelloggs workers striking, John Deere workers are now also striking!! They gave the CEO an over 100% raise (went from 6 mil to 15.6mil) and were only offering 6% raises while eliminating pensions to workers.
I know most of us are apartment dwellers, but they sell branded merch and small tools too, so.

uh, warning for just sorta blithely ignoring the entire existence of native peoples when discussing the settlement of australia and america
the version i'm reading was kindly pirated for me by my professor so i can't link it, but if you'd like to read this it appears the internet archive also has a copy https://archive.org/details/2917177.0001.001.umich.edu/page/2/mode/2up
