Peer reviewers please don't interpret your job as making the paper as good as it can possibly be.

I have 6 other projects to attend to. The very, very marginal improvement to this paper your taxing demands constitute is not worth the marginal cost of me not finishing a whole other project.

I guess that half the twitter researchers are still bemoaning the death of their research topic - but the other half already followed us and are giddily APIing bsky...

Gender & Occupation researchers: I'm looking for lit. on systematic differences in social rewards women and men get from working in the same occupation (like male engineers have high prestige while female engineers are treated as out of place).
Any ideas? Self-promotion welcome.
