you know the videos about how you should “shut the fuck up” when the cops want to talk to you? the cops read social media. so shut the fuck up. followers want to know what you’re organizing? “i’m not discussing my day with you”

I never used AirBnB. I do not feel safe in unregulated hotels. At least real hotels have to play by the rules. Plus, I have few of such unregulated hotels around my home, and I can tell you it is very annoying living so close to unregulated hotel.

Unfortunately, this is true. Depending on personal situation of people, some scientists will move countries and keep science going. And some will change ways they earn money, as I did. Scientists in USA are not rich personally, so they depend on grants to do science.

This might be some kind of a achievement. I ended up buying my first toy set to use in therapy with kiddos. Of course, I got play set of Inside Out 2 figurines.

This is very bad, but unfortunately not completely unexpected. For people who are taking SSRI, try to increase your exercise level while you still have medication, the exercise might help in case you have to stop medication. Unfortunately, it is not as clear cut with other medications.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Writer Beware has gotten complaints that Word Alliance Literary Agency (not really a lit agency) is contacting writers to offer editing jobs. The "jobs" are already-published books, w/ pmt on completion; scam then asks for writer's bank account info. Discussion here: www.reddit.com/r/writing/co...

I’m rereading thief of time (discworld) and I forgot to get chocolate to go with it. Something I have to fix tomorrow.

As always, Pratchett had some great insights.
