I sat in silence for a good moment after she broke down what I have felt these 40 years of life in just two minutes.
This is by far my favorite interview she has ever done.
So grateful for @GabbySidibe breaking down the antifatness, colorism, shapism, etc. that so many of us experience in this world.
Similarly I know I’m stunning but not by societal standards and my treatment by others has been laced with antifatness.

No, we do advise students of this, and they universally refuse to listen.
A lot of people start PhDs with the expectation that academia is a normal industry where you can work hard and make a good living. In reality, most fields are like professional sports: grinding and low wages with the occasional superstar. Unfortunately, most professors don’t live in reality and fail to advise their students properly.
