The colleague whose university lab I'm visiting this week has a beige box computer with a *turbo button*. I've never seen one of those in real life. It also has a floppy drive and a 12x/16x CD drive. The RW drive is separate and aftermarket. I wonder how old it is.

The person he blocked pointed out that his (presented as fun) story about a supervisor getting their direct report drunk and then screwing him to the ceiling was alarming in light of the fact that 40% of workers have reported being sexually abused at that facility.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Folks liking this supposedly funny thread on physical assault of a young employee in Antarctica could probably benefit from reading the NSF report on harassment and assault on Antarctic bases: www.nsf.gov/stopping-har... Celebrating violence like this implies this is normal and ok. It isn't.

It's pretty difficult to understand how, according to the Md. DoEd, only meeting 60% of educational goals makes a 4-star school.

Despite the late fall weather, there were still a few flowers blooming in the public garden

During my Masters, my first semester I made just barely too much to qualify for SNAP. It wasn't enough money to eat and pay rent. I lost 56 pounds between July and December (185 to 129) that year. People will starve without SNAP.

Snootflies are back 🖤 Spotted a handful of these silly creatures this afternoon near a cypress swamp. Panorpa lugubris, the mourning scorpionfly. Distant relatives of fleas. I make a small pilgrimage or 7 to this spot every year around this time in hopes of seeing them, as one does

If you're heading to the Big Bug Conference next Friday, I unfortunately won't be able to be there. My postdoc is at a Federal lab. I couldn't get approval for travel in time, due to the shutdown, so I had to withdraw my presentation from the Toxicology series. Hoping for a better 2026.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

Here's a cartoon I made about jumping spiders. 🕷️ #Arachtober
