best way to counter academia-based #silentbullying is to silently produce and produce excellently. no fuzz, no noise, just pure quality work plus real, fun engagement w/ communities. #NOtobullying particularly of women, carers and ECRs in academia and elsewhere @academic-chatter.bsky.social

Today's conference networking task reminded me that I'm really about quality more than quantity. I'm okay with the few people who I approached with sincerity and who mirrored back the same thing 👌💕

I peer reviewed for a journal in 2022. I was told that I will get a certificate. I thought, okay, at least I'll have proof of my service. Fast forward to 2023 - still no certificate in my inbox 🤣

I have miles to go before I get recognized as a Southeast Asian Koreanist (SEA). Just saw the abstracts of papers that got accepted in a conference where our SEA panel got rejected. There were papers on SEA and Indo-Pacific yes, but..written by either Koreans or Westerners. I rage with a smile 😐
