Understandable. Still a good deal, though.

In my country, there is no official paid leave from draft, but using legal loopholes to avoid it will cost you many, many salaries over.

I did mention them. Not always plenty in a particular subject area, often takes a lot of time to get published.

Going open access is great, and that’s what I do, but it has to be said a lot of grants do NOT pay for open access publications, and diamond open access (free for authors and readers) is quite rare and you can wait eternity to get published.

Fuck Hexbear but also lol

This one’s underrated

Hey, it’s gonna be alright
