a question for from a non-academic (me): does anyone know of studies of in the context of US land management agencies (NPS specifically; anything adjacent may be relevant)? I'm a bit out of my league here, but looking to explore whatever may be out there on, like...class, work, identity, sense of belonging, etc. This relates to some creative work, and I have some Theories, but need more input.

(If you answer, I won't ask you to help me access articles, don't worry)

Last week, I was part of a 25% workforce reduction at my company. It happened to be on the same day Meta announced a 10,000 person layoff and today Amazon said they're letting 9,000 more people go, so I feel a bit like I'm joining the tsunami of the unemployed right now. My LinkedIn profile URL is in my bio, but in short my background is in technical communication and higher education (administration/lecturer). I'm in the area for in-person jobs, and I am also open to remote positions. I have a very small network on here, so I thank you in advance if you would kindly boost this post. I'm hoping that quality leads from the good folks on Mastodon help me to surf the unemployment tsunami and get ahead in being hired. 🌊 🏄‍♀️

It seems time for my semi-annual reminder about how much money I make when scholars opt out of using citation managers.

Formatting reference lists is not my favorite thing to do, by far. But it is so very profitable -- and preventable!

Scholars often don't share that they use . So many scholars think they're bad writers, because look at all those wonderfully written things they read.

Those well-written things were edited. Always. I'm editing something right now at an average of 35 edits/page

This is the 4th book by this scholar, well-established and awarded in their field. And this book needed to be edited into one of those wonderfully written things.

I have a HUGE ask, .

I'm prepping a workshop abt responding to peer reviews and I find myself in need of real world peer reviews/reader responses.

If any of you have a peer review you would be willing to share with me, I would greatly appreciate it. I would be delighted with one that represents your platonic ideal of a reader response, as well as a completely out of line response, or anything in between.

Hello Writing Mastodon! What are your plans for the weekend?

I have three options here and to be honest I alternate between them from one weekend to the next depending on what's needed. What do you need this weekend? Take one, and have a lovely two days no matter what! 💜

1. Excellent all day long: Joan Tower, Einojuhani Rautavaara, and now a concert performance of Stravinsky’s Firebird via medici.tv which is finally casting again via phone app to my tv.
2. Breathing space to work on my sole-authored (as opposed to compulsory collab articles) this week. Much-needed.
3. The apartment smells of fresh linen, a fresh floral home spray/mist and onions caramelised in irish butter. ‘nuff said.

Hoping to submit two sole-authored articles in this one week mid-semester break. Possible?

One is post peer-review. Another one is pretty much 90% done and has been workshopped a couple of times at my Centre. I keep putting both off. @academicchatter

Has anyone else had to change their scholarly habits because of aging? I cannot academic the way I once did. Wondering if it’s just me. @academicchatter

Part of me just wants to rest and read not-for-work fiction this Saturday, especially since I'm having visitors tomorrow and because I started a new medical treatment last night. But I've had an intense week full of classes and supervision (21 PhD supervisees, 17 as main) and today feels like the only opportunity I have to indulge in my pet research projects/article to be sent back post peer-review.

Can I just read a regency romance for an hour or two first? (not the pet research project, although I do teach Romanticism, AND teach Bridgerton in my Pop Culture course for MA/PhD students)

Sometimes your lit review is like

me: has anyone used this term before? I don't think I've heard it. why don't I search the field's leading journal.

also me: six results, OK, oh wait it appears I used that term, right here, in this piece I published in this journal, huh.

Alright
academics, got a question for you.
Would you deduct points for a student who uses they/them pronouns when referring to God?

Hey Mastodon-osphere, what’s the best instance for to be in? Would you recommend migrating to, say, sciences.social?
