[By “secret” I really mean “underappreciated” or “overlooked” but one must sacrifice perspicuity on the altar of catchy titles!] I have now been in academia longer than I have been in any other professional setting. I’m sure this is common in many industries and organizations, but academics love to complain-brag (e.g. Omg I haven’t slept […]
There are several Oprah-esque sayings that are floating around — “You have to take care of number one before you can take care of anyone else!” “Treat yoself!” “If you don’t love yourself you can’t love anyone else.” –For the sake of conciseness, I’m going to use Treat Yoself to encapsulate all of these self-affirming […]
“Why can’t you love me for who I am?” You’ve heard some variation of this question, whether from someone you actually know or while watching some dramatic interaction on the telly.

Ima try to say my piece and not get into too much trouble. I know it’s easy to get grumpy about all the different shenanigans on social media, and I try not to let myself get dragged down into the mud. As a side note, if you are continuously annoyed by 80% of everything you […]
