#MHAWS
Crashed their writing workshop (during the lunch break!) to say hello to two of my academic idols, @mirya.bsky.social and @cwolbrecht.bsky.social! We should have gotten a picture, but I did come away with some #MHAWS swag.

Forever grateful for their examples of lifting while climbing.

My CV mentions a “guest contributor” role on a specific #MHAWS Newsletter which if you look it up is a cocktail recipe.

Code 10 interviews
Write a book proposal for next book
Sketch out next 5 MHAWS posts

Thanks very much! And thank you for MHAWS- it's been helpful to myself and so many others as we navigate the market, academic publishing, and so many other aspects of this weird profession we've all chosen. 😅

On another topic, today’s MHAWS was awesome.
March 25, 2025 at 5:23 PM
Is there an MHAWS about how you balance the number of articles you do when you're writing a book?
February 25, 2025 at 5:04 PM
@mirya.bsky.social could you point me towards the person who made the MHAWS logo? I remember reading about it but can't find the email !

I need to blog again more consistently and then I’ll consider writing a newsletter. I love #MHAWS and learn so much from what you both write all the time.

Every time a new #MHAWS comes out I feel like putting on a political scientist cape so I can go to one of their conferences and buy @mirya.bsky.social a drink

MHAWS methods are undefeated

I actually love this idea. 🚕

I would volunteer as keeper of said meter and take it into every meeting and keep at tally.💸💸💸

(But seriously, WHERE can I get something like this?!?!

I feel it’s something Mirya Holman —is she on Bsky?— would suggest in her #MHAWS holiday gift guide)
I once (mostly in humour) suggested we set up a large taxi meter at the front of each meeting room and have the organiser calibrate it based on the aggregate salary per minute of the attendees, then start the meter once the meeting commenced

Big thanks, real big thanks to @mirya.bsky.social for the #MHAWS newsletters. I share these with every new academia entrant I cross paths with, especially fellow women.

Another amazing #MHAWS from @mirya.bsky.social today. So important to "find your people", I love my org econ community and can't imagine doing this work without them. Though sometimes I am tempted to impersonate a political scientist to show up at one of Mirya's happy hours or workshops. 🥸

Yep - #MHAWS doesn't miss
There were days where #MHAWS singlehandedly got me through graduate school.

"The worst part of doing any kind of public goods service in academia is not the labor, it is the jerks who won’t do the work but want to tell you how you are doing it wrong."

The way I feel this so deep in my bones. Thank you, @mirya.bsky.social, for MHAWS +. open.substack.com/pub/miryahol...

The latest #MHAWS may be my favorite to date. We need community now more than ever, and @mirya.bsky.social gives some 🔥 advice about how to build and sustain it. (Spoiler: It’s hard but SO WORTH IT.)

#MHAWS is a must! Thank you @mirya.bsky.social !

#MHAWS basically got me through my PhD, so it seems only fitting that it should be my first Bluesky post 🙋🏽‍♀️
November 18, 2024 at 1:30 PM
lol I was thinking the other day about how I never go to disciplinary conferences anymore, and therefore have missed out on all the MHAWS (and now RSC @rebekahtromble.bsky.social) swag
October 11, 2024 at 9:03 PM
I don't know that I recommend any of this. I guess the most important advice (prob from #MHAWS) is to figure out how your brain works and do whatever tends to that.

Can you use a testimonial? An edition of #MHAWS arrived just at the right time where I had been stewing in imposter/anxiety/who the f* knows what, but I felt like I could NOT get my shit together.

It sincerely helped me gather the shreds of my motivation back and crank on my prospectus :-)

MIRYA NO!
