. @lmphbutlerperks just reminded me that we graduated exactly 2yrs ago! I was replying to student emails during my graduation ceremony, since then have had 3 jobs & moves w/the 4th one next week. @mwolfindale looks happier than me in this pic! Precarity nearly beat me. #academia
Post PhD I toured the country for 2 academic yrs getting rejected after over 20 interviews for jobs including the permanent versions of ones I was doing on fixed term contracts at 2 seperate institutions before finally being offered my current permanent job! Still traumatised 
Re-count: it's actually **4 moves** w/the 5th coming up next week 
When everything else has to revolve around the lack of a stable job, everything else goes to shit. That's my summary of being a #PrecariousAcademic and this is the very much censored account of my experience.

PS. Don't ask me where my book and post-doctoral research are 
(precarity aka being perpetually stuck on year 1 of the job, preparing and teaching 30 DIFFERENT COURSES**, and the job market ate them)
**this is the total over the last 7 years, 6 of which were as fixed-term.
