I lift the silly weights in the gym. I will mess around with my own words and sentences and thoughts out of it. See where it all takes me.

Looking forward to reading this book. The act of engaging in writing is so generative - why would you want to give this up and have a machine do this for you? #writing

MIT has a set of books labelled "Open Access" but it's a little clunky to find them on the MIT Press site, and so I've gone ahead and mirrored 400+ of them here:

Excellent visualization
the fact that we have "serious" convos about whether billionaires are okay suggests public consciousness that is totally divorced from the 1) actual scale of private wealth accumulation 2) its political implications. helpful data visualization:

👀 lots of folks QT'ing to say: women — submit your manuscripts! I think what has to come first is: universities, fix your gendered service and teaching inequities, and society, balance out your care work, so women *have time* to write the damn manuscripts. So many women colleagues are BURNT OUT.
There are still a few weeks left in the year (though December is generally a quiet month for book proposals), but it looks like I’m going to close out 2024 with around 80% of total book proposals coming from men, 18% from women, and 2% from persons whose gender was not apparent/obvious.

Qualitative research friends: consider submitting an abstract to the Qualitative Research in Management and Organization conference. It’s interdisciplinary and international, kept intentionally intimate, and my favorite conference! Abstracts due Fri, 12/6! #qualitativeresearch www.qrmconf.org

It should be noted that the original person who said this is @mollycrabapple.bsky.social - artist and activist. I find it odd that her name got cropped out of the original screenshot (from an article in LA Times, btw) and the uncredited version is the one that makes the viral rounds.

I am writing a book chapter on qualitative methods in political science/public policy/public administration.

If you have authored recent papers using QM in these three disciplines, please send them to me! I’d like to read and potentially cite.

There's still time to submit to this fantastic conference! Unfortunately, I've only been able to participate once, but it was memorable. Everyone I know who's been there has really appreciated the quality and diversity of presentations, and the welcoming atmosphere! #QualResearch
