the cherry tree in our garden has started blossoming

Fellow ex-scientists who left academia: How do you manage to stay somehow in some science-related field? I somehow don't seem to have a chance but that makes me unhappy on the way at some point...I feel so much like a complete failure, so many rejections. Any advice on how to shake that off?

Look who also seems to live in our garden! Anguis fragilis (Blindschleiche) likes near-nature like gardens. So I guess I'll take that as a compliment that our garden is for humans and wildlife alike.

Bei meiner Mamer ums Eck gibt's einfach so ein kleines Naturschutz-Eckchen, in dem in einem kleinen Gehölzstück so 20-30 Storchennester auf, kp, 1000 m2 sind. Absolut crazy. zT hocken da 10 Störche in 5 Nestern auf einem Baum.

Most of the plants in our garden are growing outside of the flower beds.🙄

How do you manage not to take it personal? Because I do take it personal. Every time.

and again, I am too social, too chatty, putting too much work into it?!?

Great, just great. After two rounds of positive job interviews, rejected again.

Gestern im Twitchstream richtig hässliche Tiere gemalt, mit Absicht. Sollten wir häufiger machen. Macht Laune! 😄 Mein Favorit ist das Achselottl! Hehe.

Last summer I also had to save three teenage hedgehogs that managed to get themselves into a garden pickle. I got them out of their pickle. Here are two of them in the shade drinking from my insect water plate. The biggest had already noisily retreatedbunder the hedge.

Bufo bufo (Erdkröte) has also visited our terrace last year in summer. Likely to snackkk some of the snails between our flower pots.

I is CHICKÖÖÖN!

Parents who have no issues if their boys dress up as princesses or fairies during carnival are the real MVPs.

We need to stop labeling people who talk facts as bold, brutal, hard/tough, hurting, mean, too direct, too upfront, upsetting and all that. Yes, if you deliver a bad diagnosis to someone, be kind. If you say long COVID is bad for you, something something climate climate change etc. suck it up.

da hätte ich doch außerdem bitte gern diesen Otter als Forschungsministerin

Those leg muscle fibre types must be off the charts!

So viel zu A) „Warum hast Du ihn nicht angezeigt?“ und B) „Die Frau behauptet das nur, um dem Mann zu schaden.“
