Uuuuggh I have to start emailing people on my list about grad school labs tomorrow

Great news: My brother finally snapped at my mom for relying on Gemini for everything and she seems to have been receptive Less great news: I’ve been telling her the same shit for the last year

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

Looking up the winner of worst cooks in America and then finding out he (allegedly) fractured his ex-girlfriends skull is so jarring

Field crew got on the topic of kids and partners and I’m like oh boy everyone needs to get real chill with the concept of nontraditional relationships real fast

I love when I randomly see my itty bitty bugs on social media and get to yap to strangers about them

Jurassic Park not being on Netflix or Peacock is fucking evil

Am I a skilled enough crocheter to make a baby blanket? No. Will this stop me from trying? Also no.

Sam Neil’s death legit has ruined my entire week

And if I say Tron is boring?

What sort of questions should I ask the grad students in a lab I’m looking into?

How do I include writing fic in a cv?

I do think that it’s very interesting to hear men think that Snow in Ballad “wasn’t actually that evil” given how sinister I found his internal monologue and attitude about Lucy Gray was

The longer I think about it, the less I think a Finnick novel would focus on his games and the more I think it would focus on the aftermath

AI is basically a bullshitting machine, and it is indeed pretty good at bullshit. But nothing can match the bullshitting prowess of a teenage brain on a deadline for a class they don’t care about. #keepbullshithuman

If I see one more video trying to gender neurotransmitters to enforce sexist stereotypes I’m going to loose it

Watching worst cooks in America is great bc it makes me feel way way more competent

My (formerly estranged) brother and I swapped music yesterday and I added The Great Divide to his phone, I did not warn him what it was about and I only found out this morning that he still feels guilty about leaving for so long (oops)

Waaait this is cute picrew.me/en/image_mak...

Me: Idk if I want kids, I have a lot of complicated feelings about literally everything involved and don’t want a kid to suffer bc of it My parents: Kids love you! You’ll be a great mom Me:

Bleach blonde men should not have buzz cuts

Christ this movie is long

Me reading ballad: I don’t see how anyone ships snow and sejanus Me watching the movie: Oh I get it

Reading the ballad of songbirds and snakes and Snow deadass reminds me of my ex

The graduate student I’m working with keeps apologizing about the work I’m doing (identifying zooplankton and sorting them into jars based on taxa) and I’m like??? I get to listen to an audiobook and sort things all day, this is great

Was just viscerally reminded of why I don’t watch most of Mockingjay Part 2

My brother told me I’d have to tell him about Sunrise on The Reaping the next time we see each other and oh boy is he going to regret that

Buddie hunger games au but they’re so abnormal about each other that they skip to the end of catching fire during their first games

Me: Idk I don’t really like kids Also me: *entertains every small child that decides I need to be included in their day at the beach/park/pool*

One of my temporary roommates is bright eyed and bushy tailed at 5 am, which is usually my introvert time bc before he got here I was the only one up at 5 am. Someone put me out of my misery

What I should be doing: Heating up dinner or my PT exercises What I am doing: Laying in bed bc everything hurts

Nine people in a 3 bedroom house is too many people

I’m reading sunrise on the reaping and holy fuck it makes the hunger games trilogy so much more depressing

My final thoughts: It’s fine. There are aspects I like better than the show (ex: the reason for the breakup) but overall the show is better. Some of the word choices ick me out (especially how the mmc talks about the fmc at times) and it’s pretty stereotypical

books are so cool because there are no fucking ads in them

I’m (probably) going to finish the book but let me just say I’m glad I got it second hand and not new.

Decided to read The Deal… getting Garrett’s pov makes me actively dislike him at some points

This is my first Father’s Day not living with my parents and I feel kinda weird about it bc wdym I’m trying to coordinate a phone call with my dad AND NO ONE IS ANSWERING ME

Decided to watch Off Campus bc why not and??? MATEO??? What are you doing playing college hockey instead of clocking in at the Pitt???

The more I try to research potential PhD labs the more I have an identity crisis I fear

Why is finding PhD programs so god damn hard

The grad student I’m working with’s fiance came to visit for the weekend and he spent like 4 hours teaching me how to fish today

Week 1 of field work done (not really I still have stuff to do tmrw) and so far this is just evidence that I need to move to the mountains permanently

As an ecologist I need people to start making peace with the fact that zoos and aquariums exist I swear to fucking god

Chicken breast and salmon. I don’t like the way the flesh divides when it’s cooked, I’ll get halfway through a piece and get super nauseous and have to stop

I just finished the campaign on Jurassic world evolution 3 and now idk what to do with myself

Seeing someone bitch about women “invading male spaces” on a post about *the outdoors* is insane

I hope whoever named the word “atherosclerosis” is having a bad day

Do y’all ever think about how insane Chris’ answers for two truths and a lie could be?

You’re trapped in the last TV show you watched. Where are you? Lowkey I’d be fine
