revision complaining
my committee told me to remove voice-y stuff that might be deemed "unserious" by a hypothetical hiring committee but then did not actually give me a list of things to change and would you believe I don't have a good internal gauge of where my voice is too much because it is _my voice_

kill the imaginary hiring committee in your mind / also I know they mean well but wondering if they fully don't know that US higher ed is cooked and the odds of me getting a job in it (even with the most sanitized dissertation copy) are...not great
revision complaining
@ingrid hmm are they asking you to remove the voice for the committee that might hire them to a more prestigeous position based on the dissertations they have reviewed??
revision complaining
@raphaelp lowkey maybe? hadn't considered that possibility
revision complaining
@ingrid probably more of an acquired habit of keeping the voice down which they built for themselves when considering committees that would hire them at the time… but maybe a little bit about their future too idk
revision complaining
@raphaelp at this point i'm too close to the finish line to really fight about it and certainly there were some CYA revisions that made sense (eg an "allegedly" here and there) but if this becomes A Thing that drags out the process I will be very annoyed

@ingrid last stretch!! bon courage and congrats again
