When I explained that I'm literally paid at the poverty line, this same person followed up with "well how can you afford to travel so much?" Uuuuh mind your business and I have 2 other jobs and a majority of my travel is for work. Also, MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

There’s a lot of surprise about grad students having multiple jobs, and general misunderstanding around the fact that we’re not paid during our “vacations”

I’ve actually stopped telling people that I’m on fellowship because they think it means I’m freeloading for 9 months. I am still working 2 jobs, with full time activism and oh ya, writing a book
