My building has a gym that I use pretty regularly. This morning a white resident told me that staff aren’t allowed to use the gym, didn’t believe me when I told her I live here, and then called the manager on me.

i did my PhD in a pretty big, well funded lab that regularly publishes in CNS. lab was consistently mostly empty before 10 am, after 6 pm, and on weekends. the way some of y'all are so invested in policing trainees' work hours is bizarre and also based in fiction.

As a senior grad student I’ve really mastered my routine for giving talks:
1) don’t sleep night before
2) have 3 cold brews morning of
3) feel nauseous
4) pee 10 times before talk
5) give talk
6) break out into cold sweat
7) obsess over every word I said
8) drink
