One of the people I’m interviewing for my thesis: so once you go off and get that PhD, what are you going to do with your life?
Me: well, after going through all that, hopefully I’m going to end up researching more of this stuff
Them: I think you’re going to end up owning a gay bar

I suppose the pro/con of being a gay business academic currently studying LGBTQ owned businesses is that my work keeps becoming more and more relevant to the concerns of business owners, but I also am becoming less and less valuable to PhD programs.

Do I…do I make a pride month post on my LinkedIn this year?

“I fear failure more than I fear death because I am willing to die for the continuation of my work” should not be something I am having to see about my academic career in 2023 while living out my 20s. This could have been my time for me to live a carefree life. Instead, it’s become shaping my career around the survival of my community.

One time my partner said that if I went corporate, rather than becoming a public business researcher, and got the money that went along with a big city job, then he would probably go with me. However, I need to explain to him, now that my life has shifted, that I would be happy being an adjunct at a business program near my hometown (western Maryland) and work more on my antiquing business. Which would not likely fit into his current big city gay lifestyle.

One of the fun little things I had to do recently was submit a list of objectives for my research. Which in this context meant telling my department what could be the possible industry applications could be for all of this work.
*in a John Mulaney voice*
“I will now share for you these objectives.”

Going to another queer resiliency book club meeting today. Which, in the past, has more or less just been a bunch of queer, disabled academics sitting in a room to talk about how much we don’t like being queer disabled academics living in the state of Florida.
