The Watering Hole
Free. Ongoing. For the questions you don't post in your department Slack.
It's 11 pm...
You get a revise-and-resubmit and want to talk to exactly one person who understands why you're in fight-flight-freeze mode, and it's not your advisor.
The Watering Hole is a free virtual community board for researchers, at any stage, working through any part of the publishing process. Ask a question. Give advice on someone else's abstract. Post about the rejection you haven't told anyone about yet. Every Tuesday, a writing spark goes up to nudge you back to the page.
I'm in there too (hi, I'm Jessica), not as an admin, but as someone still doing this work myself. Membership isn't tied to any course or paid service. You don't have to be enrolled in anything to belong here. You just have to be doing the work, or trying to.
