Hi Katrina. Thank you for sharing this. After 10 years, I left full time faculty in 2019 for a lower salary and status job and can relate to so much of what you write here. Academia is toxic and exploitative. One place that helped: Academics say goodbye Facebook group. Also, dealing the chronic back pain, Nicole Sachs has been eye-opening: https://spotify.link/KAYhWlF2RCb. I hope you get out. It's the best thing I did for myself and my health.

Thank you Katrina. Sending you warmth and healing. Oh, and I also was thinking of Nicole Sachs’ work during your article.
