Exploration can be dangerous. Loved this one. I am pretty sure you are going to hurt many more with your game. That's because you wish to keep playing. Glad to have found on the playground :-)
"Iβm gonna make waves, and Iβm gonna piss some people off. For the record, itβs not my intention, but it is an effect of exploration. If that makes you uncomfortable, well either suck it up or go hide out in a nice, safe space".
You are a legend. Loved this post and GOOD LUCK with the new pod!
No apology necessary, though I appreciate where it's coming from! I'm not such a big fish that there is anything to hijack :). I agree with you about those rigid rules. In fact, I initially included that group in an earlier post on binary thinking in academe. Karen felt I was using the rules as a straw man, and I agreed and edited the post: https://joshuadolezal.substack.com/p/can-you-be-recovering-and-still-be. But I was truly bothered by the sense that you're either in or you're out. My punch line, perhaps a little unfair, was a variation on the Pentecostal joke I tell earlier in the piece: "how many recovering academics does it change to change a lightbulb?" I've seen a different side of that community after interacting with it for a while, and it suits my stage of the grieving process. But you're right -- once you've completed the grief cycle, there's not much there for you.
All of us need community on this journey, and I'm glad to be part of yours. We all deserve to charge for our content, too, and I hope you kill it with your new show.
