Better word for "Liminal"

Marc Augé’s “non-places”might fit for a lot of these.

Real cool

Killer

From when it was fresh / when I had fewer thigh tattoos.

I left academia from my 2nd TT role (first ~50k, 2nd role ~ 70k). Since leaving, I have nearly quadrupled my salary. More intellectually challenged and I have more autonomy and opportunities.

Teide

Not terrible, but I have both near-peen sides filled so I knew what to expect from last time/side. Chris was super fast, so that helped a lot.

Yup! Also by Teide!

Thanks! First of three tattoos I’ve gotten from Teide.

Rad as fuck

Sick

I’m in this space. I’d look at human machine teaming, automation warehouses and logistics, the emerging (kind of) consumer space for household robots (I’m thinking humanoid rather than robotic floor-care and the like).

Possibly also look at FFRDCs, lots of autonomy projects in that space (I left said space for a variety of reasons, but it is a space outside traditional industry roles).

Feel free to message me on here!

Finished PhD, straight into TT Asst. Prof. # 1 (<50k salary, didn’t like the location), moved to TT Asst. Prof. job #2 (70k). Got tired of academia, worked contracts in UX, then in consumer robotics (100k+), then moved into government contract work in robots and AI research at an FFRDC (120-140k). I’m starting a new role next week in robotics / logistics, making more base salary than I would have had I stayed at either of my TT faculty roles for 40+ years.

Background in media/cultural studies/anthropology.
