don’t know who needs to hear this but empathy doesn’t require eagerness. you don’t have to be excited about helping other people, you do it because it’s right and because the alternatives are worse

What does it mean to write a book as a contingent scholar? It means to do something that's already hard enough on its own, but also to do it without the (admittedly eroding) supports of full-time tenure-track employment--time, funding, library access, and a steady job. Recognize this work. 🗃️

I am still processing but I do think the most important frame is the global post-Covid economic backlash against incumbents. Democrats were blamed for both shutdowns and inflation but not given credit for job growth or rising wages.
