Academia's love language is feedback. The people who read your stuff and critique it are actually doing you an enormous solid, and you should treat them accordingly.
Academics, it's a privilege to study something simply b/c it interests you. I study mass incarceration & policing because it has always been a matter of Black life and death. Wells didn't report b/c it was fun. Du Bois didn't write b/c it was cool. Ask yourself, why do you write?
Academic peeps: I've lived through many disasters. Here is my advice on "productivity". First, play the long game. Your peers who are trying to work as normal right now are going to burn out fast. They're doomed. Make a plan with a longer vision. /1
