I'm not changing the way I write for the sake of weak thinkers. I don't care

vaccines good, cancer bad, LFG

Update: fellow advisee still does not have their comps scheduled (waiting 2 weeks at this point). My IRB paperwork has not been acknowledged (5 days)

Here I explain why the party designation actually doesn't mean a whole lot - unless you've staked your entire political identity on it. 2/

Your Sunday Moment of Zen: Hummingbirds at the feeder, Yakima, Washington (February 2026). #hummingbirds

I said in a meeting today: professionalism is often white-man coded, I don't have a problem with anything we saw today

“I asked ChatGPT” yeah well I asked my autistic friend whose pattern recognition gives her borderline prophetic accuracy even though no one ever listens to her because she’s awkward and has bad timing and says the wrong thing and has no control over her body or volume or brain or

Me as a child: it must be very hard to become a CEO and be very hard work once you get the job Guy obviously on drugs speaking at a conference: the next five years of the economy should be about a dream I had where a dog spoke to me

As I sit here with my head on my desk once again, I implore people to understand that universities are not just 'big schools'.

So... anyone know any remote research positions interested in a PhD candidate with qualitative and basic (Excel-based) quant analysis skills?

Tonight! There's space available

Reporter is asking me about the mechanics of wealthy people funding university research projects. That's not really in my wheelhouse these days. Anyone up for chatting with them?

That plasma is used to make immunoglobulin meds that are the difference between life and death for a lot of the people who receive them, and the exploitative nature of the industry doesn't mean that the people who are selling their plasma aren't necessary and changing lives for the better.

Inflationary pressures appear to be back on the rise due to tariffs and health insurance costs. This will squeeze higher ed, where tuition seems to have ticked back up last fall (especially at privates) after a decade of sub-inflationary increases. Get ready for tiny or no pay raises next fall.

Now that I've finished my reread of the Starlight's Shadow series by Jessie Mihalik, I should read one of the new books on my TBR

Re: my last reskeet...I recently hosted a training on petitioning. I had it in a room with a cap of 15. I asked my committee to let me know if they plan on attending. 1 committee member did, plus 3 others outside of my committee. 3 other committee members showed. Skills we need: communication

One of my more unpopular opinions is that organizing spaces should focus less (not zero, but less) on skills people already have and more on training them in skills they need. It’s not a hobby group and you need a good group of people trained in working together to do the same thing.

Did you know that the NY Botanical Garden has a podcast? The newest season starts with an episode on moss with Robin Wall Kimmerer pca.st/podcast/7989...

Stumbled upon a piece by an editor ridiculing a college student who withdrew from consideration for a reporting role because the publication outsourced all the writing to AI (yes, all the writing), and there’s so many parts of this that make my head spin with anger.

If I cut up a ratty bath towel into smaller ones to use for face toner... Do I have to surge the ends or something?

Based on my Irish soda bread, it is time to replace my baking soda (I know this, there is already a new one but I thought I could get away with it)

I'd originally typed out an alternative caption ("Based on the news in the last few years, I don't think humans deserve Hooded Mergansers") then decided we're already going through so much I wouldn't even joke about it with these lovely birds. You deserve beautiful ducks ❤️

We're watching Stick and I have to admit I wasn't in love in the first episode. I thought it was going to be about a guy who can't help his life that's and there is already enough of that around. But second episode, the bank scene is FANTASTIC. "I don't have a penis. I'm just reminding myself."

This is why *all* researchers need reflexivity--not just qualitative ones. Our training and our backgrounds and our preexisting beliefs shape the research questions we ask, the methods decisions we make (eg, variables, models, or missing data strategies), and the way we interpret findings.

(8/11) Now, we’re going back to the Bazaar. But this time you’re not up against a shopkeeper. You’re up against a massive digital infrastructure calculating your personal price tolerance.

Brain: we're tired Hypermobile body: cool, we'll be a slouchy squished bug on all furniture

Backup. It's the first rule of research.

This really makes me think of that afternoon in my adviser's office as he reeled off fellowships he'd gotten during grad school and we looked them up to see if I could apply and they didn't exist anymore.

We're headed to the ice rink where husband will participate in a skate and shoot and I'll attempt to not fall on my butt (wearing yoga pants because jeans are just hard right now)

I want to rescue all of the bored betta fish

Woo boy, I sampled some "na" wine with an alcohol content under 1% and after not drinking (voluntarily) for like 2.5 years that is still alcoholic.

But also do this starting in second grade.

that community college post has broken containment and is killing my notifications... I don't know how y'all with big accounts manage this all the time.

Based on a current Insta trend, I think I'm going to try tofu waffles this week. I might serve them with yogurt and fruit... thoughts? ideas? favorite recipes/approaches? www.worldofvegan.com/tofu-waffles/ food52.com/recipes/5276...

Having an unmedicated auDHD morning of so much brain activity, so I am gonna hyperfocus on the unrecognized women behind architecture “geniuses.” Saddle up or mute me, whatever

I finished the flowering cactus Lego set

Hi everyone I’m really struggling to find people of color who have ME/CFS to take the survey. I’m at a bit of a disadvantage because I can’t flyer in person. I’ve reached out to over 20 practitioners, only 2 have responded. Please lmk if you have any advice! This is an international survey

Additionally self-blame and thinking struggle w/this is your fault is so damaging. I would urge all my (fellow) neurodivergent folks in tech to take seriously investing in self-compassion and all the larger getting your mind right that will stop those pieces from blocking you

Seriously though. Community Colleges are great. I've seen so many people expand their horizons and launch new careers, or even just become more well-rounded interesting people through education at affordable, flexible community colleges in California

Yes, I'm listening to podcasts while building a Lego set... But this one makes me think of @rahaeli.bsky.social and how we, as patients, also need to be advocates and scientists when we visit doctors. The cerebellum is so important but neurologists have dismissed it (and just cut pieces out)!

Experts seek to speed up at work all the time, and offloading certain aspects of tasks is a typical way to do this. However, when you're building understanding, you often need to slow down to speed up -- invest in the deliberate practice that will underlie later fluent automaticity

🔥LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

You can also do this at state schools. And if funded properly this would be something everyone could do.

Teaching retirees is such a delight. They share their wisdom with the younger students and are genuinely interested in learning for learning's sake, a trait I'm seeing less and less.

It's been a lazy morning but it's time for pancakes

In MN everyone over 62 can take classes for just 10$ a credit and I am gonna learn all about gar from @solomonrdavid.bsky.social in ten years …

This is called a community college and if we funded them properly we wouldn't need private individuals to offer these kinds of services.

Does anyone happen to know what Debs might be talking about?
