Do you have any good cabbage recipes? Our friend gave us three huge heads from his garden and I need ideas

What bird is this? Clearly eaten by some sort of hawk but a little bit left. Morgan helped out that the brown might be from a hatch year bird, but that color definitely threw me

I got interviewed by FarmWorld about our bird poop paper. Had a lovely conversation with their journalist, and very fun to see our work get picked up and shared to the prime audience our work is for! We are on page 14 if you'd like to check it out: issues.farmworldonline.com/Issue/7109.pdf

I know multiple well-awarded ecology PhDs who have gone to colossal. Makes a shit ton of money to do nothing and I’m worried about jobs in ag and conservation lol it’s just funny

I think what I didn’t realize about getting off my medication (which is good and I finally fucking made it) is how sad I would be. Like a whole nother thing to work through

Spoke too soon lol! Still off of it but definitely not feeling well

After 4 months after learning that I was taking way too much lorazepam, I am finally off of it and feeling so much more like myself and feeling so much better

KEVIN FOUND ANOTHER THING IN THE COLLECTION @mothpotato.bsky.social

In the office during spring break, alone, campus is empty. So to my surprise someone is playing some screamo metal so loud it is going through the walls…

Made it through, got a haircut, and walking the dogs

At this point the nausea and dizziness I’m getting is so bad I’m a little unsure how to move forward:( Can’t even sleep through the night and this is while taking ondansetron

I know I keep talking about it and I’m also already annoyed but have been throwing up for 12 hours now😭 and I’m so so thirsty (also had a psychiatry meeting this morning and they know about this)

I’ve never thrown up more coming off this medicine - I’m so so tired of it:(

Hey all - do you have a paper that we could review as a lab? I know people want reviewers and we want to teach about reviewing!

A monumental betrayal.

Chicken cutlet sandwich on homemade bread from my favorite Czech restaurant in Sacramento

I’m reviewing a paper and it is 248 pages with supplements….

It is very funny trying to taper off medicine during the trump admin because I feel like I’m just complaining

So we just have to live with this now? And ajit pai gets to just live a regular life instead of facing any consequences?

I got asked to review a paper that I do think I’m particularly qualified to review. They say stuff that *I* think in answered a bit in my old papers (which is fine!) but is it frowned upon to suggest my papers in the review? I honestly think it’d be helpful - not just looking for a cite

The best blackbird🥰

These were terrible lol

Twitter is terrible but bluesky is full of the most full themselves academics at their worst so what can I deal with more lol

Finally trying these and what’s your guess if they’re good

Researchgate: We found a recent article that cited you The author: me😈

Look how pretty he is

We got to take part in this really fun write-up about our bird poop work that came out today🦃🦅🦆

Bird poop happens. But farms, wild birds and their habitat can #coexist with little risk to food safety, finds a new study of wild bird poop on farms from @austinrspence.bsky.social , @dskarp.bsky.social and @ucdavis.bsky.social. www.ucdavis.edu/climate/news... 🦃🐦🪺💩🌱

So excited to see our paper led by @austinrspence.bsky.social out in @jappliedecology.bsky.social! We show most birds present low food-safety risks, but E. coli survives longer in big poops produced by big birds (a thread) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

The turkeys came to celebrate our new paper out TODAY in Journal of Applied Ecology (with turkeys!) Stay tuned for more details🦃🔬

Welp the psychiatrist was literally horrified what had happened and her jaw dropped. But now have a plan and will hopefully not be feeling so sick soon

Well got it emergency prescribed and have a psychiatry appointment tomorrow to make a plan to wean off. And it was honestly helpful when I needed it but I want to be off it so bad now

I’m trying to wean off lorazepam and I’m feeling so lost with the doctors. If I stop taking it, I feel so so sick, but I want to be off of it. But then they stopped prescribing it until I was in full withdrawals. And I just don’t know what to do:/

Started the new year off with probably the lowest low of my entire life after a terrible 2024 but I’m actually excited about 2025 and it’s literally all up from here

Loved Nosferatu and I need more movies to be simply “insatiable horniness”

The cops are doing a motorcycle photo shoot by my house and I gave them a thumbs down and blew a raspberry with my tongue and they got so mad lol

I’m teaching about birds, pest control, and food safety to the Wild Farm Alliance today. It’s on zoom but I like to dress up

Haven’t done chip reviews in awhile but these fucking rule. Might have to go get the other flavors to try including “salt and umami”

There is an epidemic at coffee shops where you order a hot drink and they give you something that barely passes as lukewarm

Give me your spicy recipes!!

Finishing up my faculty statements. I was warned it’s hard, I am proud of what I wrote, but it feels silly and embarrassing and inconsequential. I don’t know if others felt that way? Maybe I’m not meant to do this if it makes me feel this but I just like teaching and research

Second time I’ve had some sort of food poisoning in like four weeks. Beyond it being terrible, it’s also so disruptive. Can’t work because I’m throwing up so much😭 why food trucks have you started to hate me??

I gave all of you this cute spider eating lunch and you gave me *nothing*

Give me your favorite spicy recipes please. I’ve been craving super hot spicy food and need new ideas
