my horrible undergraduate advisor who permanently traumatized me and basically spoiled my career before it even started is retiring, nice and old and proud and famous like a big fat turkey, having experienced no consequences at all for continually shit-talking me professionally for over a decade.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I have heard that one of my old coworkers now calls me "one of the most diligent scientists [they've] ever met" but they are still apparently unable to speak to me. Thanks, that really means a lot right now. :/

I wish I was less superlatively unlucky with jobs. I am really very boring and mostly concerned with tiny shrimp.

I think I'd prefer to live somewhere blue, so I don't have to get nervous about how long my hair is or how well I pass as cis, but I really did not like living in the NE and I don't think I want to bother trying to afford California as a single person right now. My options are truly fascinating.

apparently all the funny wingless flies I've been seeing in pumpkintown are females, because there are males now and they're just regular flies with wings and stuff. that's so weird, congratulations flies on your weird glowworm ultra-dimorphic lifestyle
