In which Xyk discovers that she is underpaid compared to others in her department. I need to write a post on this-- but academic ladies especially, if you are at a public state school, your salary and all the salaries in your department are either available online or from asking the librarians at your school (our librarians will send them to you as a .pdf if you call them).

Activisms: I have been doing things, I just forget to post them. This week had a lot of donating for books and other lgbt+ stuff in red states on donorschoose. This weekend I intend to write a lot of letters to voters with Vote Forward.
