I will move on but I'm hugely pissed off that the reason my name wasn't called at graduation is because the grad team put a mark next to my name to indicate that I'd be slow (something they assumed) and the person reading names thought it meant I wasn't there.

We've been on a long hiatus because personal, professional, and health stuff has gotten in the way. But we're here to boost your stuff. For the marginalized and minoritized folks in (and outside of) the academy. For those who are being pushed out. You belong. You matter. 💜
