@keviv9 Solidarity. We have all been there, we all doubt ourselves more often than we appreciate our own work. 🙏

Some days in academia are really tough. e.g. today: 1. Got a grant rejection email - one on many in 2 years 2. Had an accepted paper desk-rejected 🙅‍♂️ 3. Got an ICML rejection, had good scores And all of this happened within an hour of me waking up 🥴⏰ Still holding on, smiling🙂by end of the day, and looking forward for tomorrow You really need thick skin to be in this business. Sometimes I wonder: is it even worth fighting for? 🤔

"I don’t find any particular strengths in this submission", says a reviewer (with overall score "1") for a submission that has received 3.5 and 3 from others. ARR that liberally desk-rejects papers allows reviews like these to come through?! #ARR #NLProc

Rejections are part of academia, but they never really get easier. Even after many, they still sting. If you are feeling discouraged by rejection, you are not alone. **** **.

#India: We regret fast passage of Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, without adequate stakeholder consultation. The amendments risk setting back hard-won rights of transgender people, replacing self-identification with mandatory medical verification processes. India has been a pioneer for rights of transgender & gender-diverse people. This Bill will have far-reaching impacts on right to privacy & risk marginalisation of transgender people.

Today, India elected its first lesbian MP. She was among those who led the struggle for decriminalisation only a few years ago. It's a major moment for the world's largest democracy 🇮🇳

And despite multiple reminders, emergency reviewers found and all reviews in very last minute. I still have regular reviewers turning their reviews in the middle of the author's response period... #ACL2026
