all click-throughs are good click-throughs!

one of the best things people can do to support the journal is to assign it in classes and use their library copy's link to do it

Take a look at that Book Review section Young Kim has done a phenomenal job securing reviews. Note, I believe JECS's largest source of income is through clicks on reviews. Am I remembering that correctly? (attn: JECS editor @emuehlbe.bsky.social?)

I had a whole "how to read your professors" thing on the syllabus of a first-year class, it's a valuable opportunity to engage in thoughtful criticism when the author is sitting in front of you

For those of you who aren't female, we get told we're 'upset' when we take opposing positions or don't like being abused or are actually angry or fierce or outraged, not upset. It's a "calm down, little lady" expression.
