    My parents' socialized care in Canada is so great they choose their hospitals & providers, when there's an emergency or serious condition care is immediate, & they never have to ask whether or not a provider is in network or worry about any surprise bills (or any bills really)

    In Dar es Salaam airport. Display of books, most by non-Africans about Africa. Given number of outstanding African authors, this a shame.

    Citation politics: Read & cite work of jr. & under-represented scholars. Learn who else has published on your topic. It helps showcase their work, fosters new collaborations, & helps sr. scholars find work they haven't had a chance to read yet. This helps everyone /16

    To advisors: mentor your jr scholars better. Peer reviewers shouldn't do this for you. We're all busy, but your junior scholars are worth your time. They're your legacy, they're still learning, they deserve your investment. Help pave the way so it's not so hard. /17

    Peer reviewers: be graceful. Say what they did well, what the work contributes to the field (this is so important!), & if it's a rejection, take the time to tell them where it might fit elsewhere & how to fix it going forward. Write the review you would like to receive /18

    The data doesn’t bear “better reasons” out. It wasn’t until 2008 that 2A was interpreted as right to unfettered access to whatever firearms people wanted. Since then the # of gun deaths have expanded, and mass murders more still. It’s a uniquely American problem

    Articles are generally too short to develop more than 1 argument well. Stick to the plan. Cut meandering stuff, put it in a new file because it's seeds for subsequent articles. The ideas are good, they just don't always fit in one article /10

    Huh. Mine too. And I’ve literally been researching the damage this kind of charitable work does for over 15 years. But I use data and research and case studies to get my students to see what they otherwise take for granted. I’m no hater of yours. But I know you could do it better
