This is a great thread on feeding yourself
Reposting again because according to Reddit threads, another round of RWR emails went out today.
Prob 20% of my feed used to be academics stressed about writing, but 100% of them would endorse this sentiment.
They just don’t get it - they’re trying to replace the part of our job we like the *most*.
