Submitted my social-justice related paper to a US-based journal around 8am EST&rejected by10am. This is allegedly after 3 internal members “checked” the manuscript. Well done journal coordinating with three academics so early on a Monday morning. #academiccencorship at its best. #teachingispolitical
