#AcademicRant
A story in 2 panels: submission of a manuscript on July 11th, 6 weeks ago. Inexistent communication from the journal, and a status as "with editor" the whole time. Emailed for an update after 4 and 5 weeks of inactivity. 1/2

Tiny #academicrant - I'm stunned that the author portal at Taylor&Francis doesn't allow multiple email addresses. Just - why?

I've had four (4) different institutional emails recently and I just can't get everything together at T&F. It makes publishing so much more complicated than it needs to be.

Alt: elmo from sesame street is disappointed in taylor & francis publishing and wishes they would allow multiple email addresses in their author portal, which would let mobile and early career scholars move around institutions (as they need to) without having to fight every time they try to publish. The problem is that now there is a mismatch between the email address on the manuscript and the email address on the account, and so the production editors will freak out etc etc and it will take a long time to figure out. All of it totally unnecessary and disappointing

Whenever I ask a question and I hear - "It depends..." I assume it's an expert or a nerd #academia #postdocvoice #phdlife #academicrant

How the FUCK are we seriously asking “if x living being feels pain” or not questions?!?!

The worldview of liberal democracy based science steeped in Christian mythos and patriarchy and separation of humans from nature is sooo ingrained that this is a fucking question? Still?

Good researchers are not necessarily good professors.
And vice versa.

I'm new here, which means I haven't yet built the network I used to have on the bird site... which I miss.
Anyway, I'm going to rant:

To the A*hole colleague telling lies about my work ethics to junior faculty FU to the moon and back.
