   no one told me the worst part of applying for academic jobs is having to admit that I really love teaching!! i want to make spaces for the youth to be brave and curious it's so fucking cool. and also it sucks that most universities are actively disinterested in teaching as the act of making spaces for courage and curiosity bc they are basically hedge funds with a veneer of intellectual credentials
