I don't need a nap, I need help making a better system.

There is enough pie for us all in academia.

Tl;dr: You're heading into a candid post about some things that are exhausting about being an underpaid, contingent faculty member. (And yes, I am acutely aware of the privilege I still possess in this role. But, we shouldn't expect people to be grateful for relative crumbs. As the bumper sticker says, "Equity ain't pie." There are incredible resources in academia—more than enough for everybody—and we need to actually share the pie.)
