😬 I'm going to snap

You know, if I could speak cat, the last 24 hours would have been much easier. 😭

Okay! T-5 Days until I drive my ass to Bethlehem PA with my 19 yo cat to stay at an airBNB and teach some highschoolers genomics research. What was I thinking????

wtf so the children are fighting? I'm so tired.

👍🏽

🤔 it's June 1st. I open my mailbox and find ... A letter that says "important tax document" on it. 🤔🤔🤔

😞 why should I continue to bother?

It's an interesting feeling, standing at a place that marks success, like graduation, and seeing someone else like you, being able to look at each other and feel connected, be proud of each other for making it and happy to see their success.

Awesome thesis paper by one of my students! 😍

If I didn't value my vocal chords as much as I do, I would be screaming into the void endlessly.

We are right at one month away from the 2025 Grading Conference (June 11--13), and have just posted the schedule. Check out all the amazing presentations we will have this year! www.centerforgradingreform.org/grading-conf...

I would rather whip egg whites and fold them into a pastry... (Yeah, take that how you will but ... I don't whip egg whites.)

"It's like homosexuals anonymous" God I love But I'm a Cheerleader 🤣

I think I'm just going to quit, move to the cheapest location I can, and work as a cashier. Fuck it.

So, the PNCBank commercial where parents sell the naming rights to their kids? Can I do that to myself?

Today is the birthday of my classmate Ryan Chicovsky, who went missing in Loas in 2006. His family is still looking for him ryanchicovsky.blogspot.com

Guys. Every day I both gain material and dread for teaching my Theories of Infections Disease course (about disease, environment, and society). I can't.

Does anyone know if there exists an education-focused list of potential accommodations similar to this job-focused one? askjan.org/a-to-z.cfm

The thing about Taxies is that drivers know how to get everywhere. Uber/Lyft drivers just follow maps and shrug when you need a location not explicitly marked.

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

3 people bought me coffee yesterday, and I think that's the first time I've ever been paid for my writing 🤗

I think my unofficial inflammatory disease is flaring... And I feel like garbage! 😭

I'm compiling a #Botany2025 #StarterPack to help bring together our Blue Sky community for the upcoming conference: go.bsky.app/Gu9T4st Once you submit your abstract and/or registration, reply here and I'll add you!

I ... just ... fuck. People! This is what we created machines, computers, and AI for ... I can't ...

Are you homogenized or non-homogenized?

This shit show is laughable.

Time to throw up a bat signal for a specific skillset for @skypeascientist.bsky.social We have a classroom that is looking for a scientist who can do a session with them in ASL. Do we know any scientists who would be willing to do a Q&A with a deaf classroom in ASL?

😒 I feel like other people's put choices have given me a second full-time job trying to navigate bullshit and keep up with whom I need to provide protest to at any given time.

geezus 😭🫣

🎵I am a man at war, and I am fighting for all of the broken people all of the people thrown overboard. They always try to shame us, but they don't speak the language. No we're not nameless we're not faceless we were born for greatness! 🎶

7 more minutes!

The rhetorical victory is this: the proposal that we can and will outlast them.

Okay friends, here's the deal. I made this 👇🏽 recipe with a few changes. 1) my two "cream of" soups were mushroom with garlic and cheese. 2) I used 5 chicken drumsticks (🤷🏽‍♀️) and 3) I used steelcut oatmeal instead of rice.

Rice and steelcut oats are basically the same thing, right? #WhatCouldGoWrong 🤷🏽‍♀️ Making chicken and rice casserole. 😬

🫩 Yeah. "Dick move" as the youngins say 🙄

Your PhD is not a liability. It’s an asset. You just need to know how to communicate it to employers outside academia. That’s what I’ll show you in my free webinar. #AcademicSky Watch here:

Guys, I cannot specifically identify the cause of my stress dreams ... that's the point I'm at.

Oooohhhhh. We're getting rid of school so we can remove child labor laws and not have school get in the way of their work. I get it now. 🖕🏽

Everything is so fucking ridiculous. I'm always amazed by the people who want to just sit quietly and follow the directions, regardless of how asinine they are, as if that will protect them from anything bad happening.

🤔 hair's getting very long ... do I cut it? I mean, dealing with it after swimming sucks, but having the option to do something with it is nice. Half shaved? Short like I used to have it? Under cut? Leave it the hell alone? 🤔🤔

Is there anybody left on here who would want to attend an online beginner's guide to street art, who missed the first two? It's free, i just don't know if there are at least like 100 people who would still want to come.

The academic job market is brutal. The good news? The non-academic job market is *full* of opportunities. I’ll help you navigate it in my free webinar. Watch here:

Oh! Look what's on my counter!! ... The rice I was putting away last night ... 😒😞
