Don’t compare your PhD to others—especially online. People post wins, not struggles. Behind the bragging is often failure you never see. Focus on your pace, your process, your progress.

This is just disrespectful!
I submitted to at least 2 of these, and was preparing 2 more proposals for now-terminated grant mechanisms
NIH moved up the expiration date for some funding opportunities, effectively *canceling* the next application date without removing it from the standard table. I can't even imagine how many people are still prepping these grants.

"Especially" in institutions that will never love us back.
A tribute and reminder that we teachers, who are the intellectual children of bell hooks, must, with determination, continue from where she left off, building new just worlds with love, wherever we find ourselves. Even in institutions that will never love us back.

This great man, V.Y. Mudimbe has gone, but not without having paved the way for the reinvention of Africa. He's constantly been a source of inspiration to me, as a poet and academic. Reste in power, Master!
