3) Continue dealing with real-life discrimination issues; don't get angry, don't cry because there's no space or time to be human
#marginsci -
I hate that part the most.

Emotion work! Not just dealing with other people's demands on our emotions, but mediating own feelings in unfair circumstances.
-
Especially when it feels like you can't ask yourself "Am I OK?" because you feel like you HAVE to be OK enough to go on.

10) Open up Twitter "to relax." Barrage of fun stuff mixed in with sexism, racism & other crap. What to respond to first?
#marginsci -
about the stolen idea... is there a way to prove it and a due process or when that happens one is screwed?
-
Yes thankfully I have emails to prove: editor knew nothing on topic>asked for my work>passed>now publishing on same.
-
stills it super sucks! Have you thought of talking with the guys from retraction watch? -
Thanks no I hadn't. They do academic journal articles. I'm considering 1) talking to editors directly; and/or 2) going public
