How do you stay afloat in a sea of job rejections (tenure track, alt ac, postdoctoral fellowships)?
Because I'm drowning.

Hi all!
It has been a few years since I did a big group follow of mastodon users.
Do you all have some accounts you love, and want to shout out, and you'd recommend that I (or others) should follow?
(Bonus points if they are academics, especially humanists, historians, STSers, or media studies. #askacademia )

Hi all! I have a academic job hunt question: what is the protocol for applying for positions outside of the US? I'm worried that every time I check the "I am not legally able to work in the country" box that I'm just going to have my application sent into a bin that won't be read.
Is that something that happens for international applicants?

Hi all! I am working with a PhD student who is working on a digital ethnographic study looking at neurodivergence folx who use sites like tumblr to connect with others with similar experiences.
They're new to ethnography (originally trained as a sociologist) and want to make sure that their work is following good ethical protocols when it comes to embedded research.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a book that outlines ethical online ethnography?

Does anyone know of an #OpenAccess full-text #PDF #search engine/tool using which I can search for relevant PDFs from a self-hosted #database?
Context: we have a curated database of #research articles but so far our search capability has been limited to tagged keywords or title and abstract field search only. We'd like to be able to search the entire PDF.
Side note: I know that PDFs are not a great way to store scientific information. I'd prefer not to use a proprietary #LLM if possible

In today's attempt to be a more organised person, how are people organising their notes/annotated bibliographies? I'm trying to become more methodical with my reading and note taking.
Vielen dank!
