Things about writing an #ERC Starting Grant that took me a long to time to understand despite all the webinars and resources I consumed (aka "things I wish someone had screamed at me 2 years ago"): 🧵

Not me missing my old tweets that I could have referenced now with snarky"told you" on so many things. All that wisdome, gone.

Unpopular opinion about Housework research and I'm not shading. I've had enough with the "Holy Trinity" of hw dol theory. It doesn't make sense that the only way to innovate is to over & over & over again test the SAME 3 theories and see where they don't work as a way to say something new.

Are you an @erc.europa.eu grantee or team member and planning to publish a book on the outcomes of your project? Then this webinar should be of interest to you!

How can you tell that a "famous" or senior scholar is probably an author on a paper you review? It gets more than one opportunity to improve even though it's deeply flawed and you gave many justification to reject. The more I review the less I faith I have. Papers should be blind to Editors.

I need someone to explain to me the business model of streaming. They are international companies. They literally, factually, have subtitles in many languages. Why not make it accessible in every country? Why decide for me which one language is useful. Why not give me access to all?

Career milestone - After a long time as cheerful Reviewer 1, I've recently been classified as Reviewer 2. Several times. Consecutively. In different journals.

Rant ahead: BluSky is not fun. I'm sorry. I miss the specific content we had over there that was an overlap between academia & pop culture, academia & silly trends, academia & fun. Perfect balance of nerd & cool. BluSky just feels like an endless lecture w/o the fun parts. Bring back the fun!

Language content creators are so determined to push slang that they're making thing more confusing than they are. 🇪🇸Don't say Hola! Say Que mas pues! 🇫🇷Don't say Oui! Say Carrément! How is this making my life easier?! Hola & oui are literally the EASIER words.

I think we need to start writing & publishing book reviews for edited "handbooks." Some of these are really awesome, inspiring textbooks to teach with or learn a new subfield from. And some are just another opportunistic, status signal for the Editors' friends.

Amazon Prime offers a "dialogue boost" to help hear the dialogue using AI. On the one hand, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been struggling hearing the TV lately. On the other hand, if there's such a major need for this, maybe the viewers are not the problem?

Does anyone know which survey asks about WHEN people purchased their residence or real estate (as opposed to when they started living in a particular place )? Does this question even exists or am I wasting my time?

We have 3 months open text data for N=2000 in which we ask 4/day what they are doing & some other questions (eg worst/best events of day). Want to de-identify data before sharing. 1. How? 2. Anyone interested in collaborating? Surveys in Dutch/English, perhaps interesting paper for someone?

So, not only that being gay is an active choice, it's one based on rational economic models to get or maintain a desired lifestyle. And this is.... progressive?

I don't want to be petty but... The success of the Backstreet Boys was also driven by the MTV Europe(!) 90s audience. So, I firmly believe we, EU millennial women, deserve a stop or two of that tour because I can't handle any more Vegas reels on my social media feed.

Dating apps are not dead. The dynamics they created just moved elsewhere. All I did was register to an app that is supposed to help find language exchange buddy. All I got was texts from men (there were more). Datings apps replicated a gender dynamic that was here before and will outlast them.

A surprising binge recommendation for those over the true crime genre that miss a detective story is - Bosch. Each season is only 10 episodes with clear archs that have an ending and all wrapped in a Hollywood film noir style. And Titus Welliver. You're welcome.
