Yesterday a member of my business course for academics wrote me and said she just had her first $10k+ month.

She does editing and writing coaching.

She built this business from $0 and achieved this milestone in under 2 years.

When I say You Are Meant for More, I mean it.

If you feel like you have no transferable skills, we need to talk.

Academia convinces you you’re worthless at anything else so you’ll stay—and keep doing more free labor.

This is a feature, not a bug.

And it’s a lie.

These posts are so pretentious and arrogant. People in the US are being shot in the streets because they’re protesting the government. Exactly what more would you like us to do, @alancross.bsky.social , so that we no longer inconvenience you?

Read the room. It’s fucking dark here.

That still feels low to me. Maybe if one was getting COLAs and annual merit raises as well, that would make sense. But I don’t know.

That feels like not enough, right? For 6-ish years and everything you have to do to get it? Plus likely no raises or COLAs in between (or not much)?

Academia's Dirty Secret: The Tenure Trap YouTube video by Paulina S. Cossette, PhD | Academic Business Coach

What size raise did you get when you earned tenure?

It’s hard not to be bitter and angry about nearly everything right now. I do think my business, and the flexibility and security it gives me, is a bright spot amid the gloom. I cannot fathom how miserable it must be to still be in academia right now. 💔

I appreciate sarcasm but that’s not at all what this is about. Maybe you should check out the podcast. 😉

The academic job market is a disaster. The pay is insulting. And tenure isn’t the safety net it used to be.

If you’ve been wondering how to get out without starting from scratch, my podcast is your roadmap. Start with Episode 1.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Whatever’s in the Trump-Epstein files must be really bad.

Racist Remarks Shock Participants at UWS Schools Meeting: ‘We Take These Matters Very Seriously’ Participants in the meeting reacting to the racist remarks. By Gus Saltonstall Officials of the Upper West Side School District

Didn't know @huntercollege.bsky.social were perfectly fine with their professors being blatantly racist like Allyson Friedman. Shame on you. Think of the Black students whose tuitions pay your salaries.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

This is today! Don’t let anything stop you from attending.

-PJs? No problem!
-Fussy baby? We love them!
-Department meeting? I think you’re developing a slight cough ::ahem:: Chill in your office or go home early
