In this episode, we answer questions about pursuing a PhD and career advance, dealing with imposter syndrome, taking unprescribed "academic performance enhancing medications," love bombing and giving cis het men the cheat codes to your heart, dating bisexual men, moving in together before marriage, getting help without involving the police, not making abolition about your feelings, learning from our elders, and making it less acceptable to record people in public.
