I appreciate your writing about the things I experienced in academia. I started writing about my graduate school experiences and those of my husband (in my Substack). When I got to the post that was supposed to be about interviewing at the AHA convention (like the MLA convention), I could not go on with my account of graduate school and its adjunct finish. After three one-year leave replacement jobs, my brilliant husband never worked again. He became an alcoholic. I can see now that I have not recovered enough to tell the whole story. I hope that I am not permanently damaged.

I hear you. I turned down graduate school and lit out for the territory. Spent years in the California Sierras studying John Muir. Nice write up!
