So far this month I've spent about 11.5 hours working on public-facing data work in my free time. 💪 That's about $287 in labor. Patrons generously fund about $195 a month, which I very much appreciate! patreon.com/prcurtis
If you do become a patron (starting @ $2/month), you get sneak peeks at data in progress each Saturday when I update! This week was North American jobs by discipline & track. Are there currently more TT jobs in N America compared to last year? 👀 Become a patron and find out! 😉

For those who are interested in what else you can read on the topic of historical denialism, comfort women history, and all the harassment visited upon digitally-engaged scholars since early 2021, here's a list of links, starting with yesterday's article: criticalasianstudies.org/commentary/202…
The article I've just published with @CriticAsianStds grew out of a first draft for a shorter introduction for those first coming to these issues (a broader audience), which I was invited to publish with @TokyoReview: tokyoreview.net/2021/05/ramsey…
Shortly after Ramseyer's original publication became A Thing that had clear, recognizably global implications, @JeannieSGersen wrote a fabulous piece about it for the @NewYorker: newyorker.com/culture/annals…

I made myself a regular schedule (work in the mornings at a coffee shop, then a trip to the gym, then errands) so I felt I could disconnect. I also organized regular happy hours with other overseas researchers because being outside our usual communities can be very isolating!
I also made regular study dates with friends--traveling around to find new coffeeshops, working together on tasks I knew were achievable, while also getting socializing/commiseration in.
I also had to learn to be more cognizant that I was the person who knew my experience best. It became exhausting to hear "You must be having an AMAZING time on abroad!!" when stress & loneliness was a struggle. It can hurt to have others' expectations contradict your experience.

"Won't you have an online debate?" "Debate me" culture is a tactic often seen in media punditry & extremist online communities. A Catch-22. If the target accepts the demand, they acknowledge the premise of the argument as valid. If they refuse, they are called cowardly or wrong.
Oftentimes these demands for debate are made knowing that that target is aware it is a logical trap--it is a tactic not intended for actual debate to take place, because the challenger knows they won't accept. The goal is to try to make yourself look good and your enemy look bad.
I will say it again, for the zillionth time, you don't owe anyone your time and energy who is a bad faith actor and who is not willing to meet you on premise of academic integrity, truth, and mutual respect.

Hello to new followers who have joined in the last day or so! 👋 It's not usually this full of drama, though it has obviously has been recently. I usually post on premodern Japanese history, digital humanities, academic life, and cats with good faces. I try to keep it balanced.
I believe it's important to maintain a positive though grounded perspective on academics & life more generally, and to foster a supportive community. I therefore make open access resources a lot, like my guide to Twitter for academics (and everyone else): prcurtis.com/docs/twittergu…
If you're here because you teach or research East Asia (or want to learn more about it!) I maintain a database of English-language digital resources to help folks diversify their work/learning to include non-European stuff: prcurtis.com/DH/resources/

I hate to break it to a certain person who seems disturbed to see her photo on Twitter posts, but if you put a photo of yourself on a public social media, it will show up when people link to your--wait for it--public social media. Which is public. Where you put it. To be shared.
It's just silly to try to generate manufactured outrage by pretending to be scared that your photo appears when your public profiles are linked to, claiming that the person is stalking you. You put them there.
The difference is that when you screencap and link our profiles (for months on end) you're inciting nearly 14,000 people to scream lies at & about us, contact our employers, and even send us death threats.
