Criticizing one political party, or its supporters, doesn’t automatically mean you’re aligned with the other side. Sometimes critique is just that: an attempt to think critically, not a statement of loyalty.

I don't mind going gray, but the grays are so frizzy and uncontrollable.... One of many reasons to always wear a hat. (I was featured in our digital learning newsletter, I assume because I hosted a session for learning our uni's new learning software.)

Read the journal you plan to submit to. Journals aren't just places to land. They are an ongoing conversation with a community of scholars. If you ignore that conversation, you're being rude.

IF-hacking has given this a bad flavor, but it is actually important to cite the journal you're submitting to---and other journals like it! Cite the journals where the conversation is happening; if you're not citing the journal you're submitting to, that's a problem.

You ever notice that the people who make academia terrible are the ones with seemingly infinite time on their hands, i.e., they aren't busy with research? They make more work for everyone else who is already busy (with research, teaching, service, etc.).

Looks like ⁦Michael Rocque⁩ and ⁦Chad Posick⁩ back again for the 2E. Pairs well with kolsch BTW. If memory serves, the glassware came from a brewery in Portland, ME.

Holy shit! Possibly the best thing I've ever written was just accepted at Theory & Society!! 🥳🥂🪅
