I'm quitting my PhD
Presently writing my masters thesis.
This isn't a bad thing, I'm really happy about it. I got a master's, not just for free but I got paid to do it. I did it in one year.

I feel like an overlooked but extremely fucked up part of this is that it just presupposes that gym class cannot happen without making kids undress together. Like just give them changing rooms. ugh I was so uncomfortable changing for gym as a kid.
@PatrickLenton
I once said to the guy "hey! You can't inject me while I'm sitting up, it makes me faint" he said "that's what we're going for here" and then I woke up from surgery.

It's a complicated consent thing isn't it? My mom did one and its like. No, I haven't committed any murders. but I also don't LOVE knowing that my DNA, maybe the most personal information I have, is just out on a database now.
All the barbie sequel ideas are stupid and here's a better idea they should actually do instead:
Hire
@klitklittredge
to direct the American Girl Doll movie.

@roastmalone_
This is true! (Also I actually thought she was twins and this movie solidified that in my young (way too young to see this movie) mind)
@AriDrennen
As an adult you can choose to go to the gym and use the changing room but kids are just forced to. No consent. In spaces that can be psychologically or even physically unsafe. Forget gender and sexuality. Why are we doing this to kids at all?
@kvanaren
When interviewers ask me to "describe your dream job"
My actual true honest answer would be "solving murders and debating about Martin Luther"

This happened to a bass of mine from storage that was too damp, but I've been told too dry can do the same thing . I'm so sorry. It does look repairable if you can find a luthier
@brendengallager
Cerie is not lazy and she doesn't represent the millennial. she is the embodiment of privilege. She represents the unattainable ease with which beautiful wealthy white young women float through life. And have done in every generation.
This discourse is insane.

Something that rules about being on steroids is that it makes my lungs breathe air. But a close second is that food tastes SO GOOD. Eat, and rejoice you are fortunate to enjoy food so much, and healthy enough to keep it down.
@buggirl
This isn't just you, it's the state of our food system!
I highly recommend
@MaintenancePod
it's podcast that does a lot of well researched debunking of all the ads and misinformation we are constantly drowning in. Honestly one of the best things I've done for my mental health.
@ZJAyres
Someone I know tried to quit his PhD recently. His supervisor said "take a month break, I'll pay your stipend. Relax, take time to think, and after the month let's see if you still want to quit"
I think this is how it should be done.
@jilltwiss
I sent a Harry and David's lasagne once and believe it was well received.
As someone who has had a real hard time - don't do live plants that require care.
Something so horrible in watching a gardenia wither away before your eyes as you, too, are withering.
Does anybody ever taste the wine and then reject the bottle? I think they could open a bottle and pour out a little sample of genuine mud from the ground and I'd be like yup, great, thanks! 😊

People are in impossible situations. At risk of losing jobs and alienating family if they don't participate in these higher risk activities occasionally.
I'm genuinely interested to see what the homework cheat service could come up with for me.
Like I'm submitting an article to a peer reviewed journal about brand new applications of a technology in which I am an industry expert but what if I had a bot from Twitter do it instead?
@theBrianaMills
Also able bodied people who believe you don't even need medicine? The "medication is bad for you, drink apple cider vinegar instead" crowd.
The "you're probably sick because you take so many medications" crowd.
So frustrating.
@clapifyoulikeme
The sailing club commodore resigned and then was nominated to fill the position left vacant by his own resignation, and accepted that nomination. (like why did you resign then)
Anyway he didn't win the election and they still need a new tractor.

When I was in 9th grade one of my science teachers absolutely insisted on a totally non routine field trip to go to Kansas state University where this man was giving a talk.
I have my picture with him.
He signed some of my friends ACS membership cards.
@bibicosplays
I woke from surgery already going into shock. They gave me some injection that brought me back and said it would hold until I got home. If I hadn't had opioid pills to take at home I'm sure I would have gone back into shock that night.
@moonshadow75
My mom called me depressed yesterday. I almost just hung up the phone.
It's awful. Not just doctors, it seems like everyone lacks compassion for this.
@ethernethottie
This is the day I noticed "archaeologist" in your bio idk why I just unquestioningly believed your full time job was hole digging with no further complexity.
@Needle_of_Arya
Good!
I wish this for everyone! Time off to spend with family is good!
Missing your cousin's wedding because you don't get any time off for your first six months is bullshit!
@ElyKreimendahl
Listen, ACAB and all, but I love the original Law and Order. I KNOW it's copaganda and it doesn't ruin my life at all. I can enjoy it for entertainment and critique it as propaganda (and critique the actions of the characters) at the same time. Your kid can too :)
@JanelCubbage
Don't be cruel yourself.
🤷
Idc how human professors are. there is a power imbalance and if the one time that is reversed you get uncomfortable? maybe examine your own behavior.

@HeavenlyGrandpa
Around 2011 I was at a very chaotic vintage/upcycle/craft/consignment/thrift store somewhere in rural kansas that specialized in these. they sold them for like $80. I wanted one so bad and agonized about it but it seemed expensive.
