I am lifelong scholar who never outgrew childhood, loves historical recreation (SCA), acroyoga, regular yoga, dancing, and I always have a sewing or nålbindning project in progress. I love doing geochemistry/archaeology research.
Exercise is important! Without movement, our ability to do other things suffers...

While you could have used a hexagonal graph paper for it, which would have made the circle part easier to to grid, then you would have complained about getting those diagonals right...

What a cute house in the background!

I am one who never wanted to be a woman, and so, without the "and gender minorities" I wouldn't participate in the group. People who don't know and haven't asked tend to guess me as female every time, so I have no experiences of wanting to be in a group and excluded for anatomy, so I ask.

How does the phrase "women and gender minorities" feel for you? That is the phrase used in a group I am in that discusses our experiences doing armored combat as women and/or gender minority individuals. Does this version of the phrase trigger the same feelings as the "& non-binary" does?

Long ago my notes said things like "created a spreadsheet to...", but then I couldn't find the spreadsheet again. Now such notes record the full location and file path, what it is for, why, and what those cryptic column names mean. Meta Data is your friend!

I have been at that age for most of my life. However, remove the glasses, and I can't hear, either...

After the paper was submitted several months elapsed before the publisher found reviewers with the time and necessary expertise to do the review. But now, at long last, it is published, and I am delighted, and relieved to have this finally out in the world.

When I resumed research again, I discovered that funding was closer to done than I had remembered, so I opted to ignore the paper and just finish the thesis. After the thesis was submitted I resumed work on the paper part time while working full time.

I started the first draft in 2020, but due to financial complications took a research pause to work a new job. Resumed work, and got the first draft finished in 2021 before taking another research pause to buy a house and fix it up enough to make it liveable.

The first draft was written in 2021, before a pause from research to buy a house and fix it up. Then funding was gone, so I wrote my masters thesis before returning to the article. Then months more elapsed before reviewers were found. So it feels really good to finally have it done and published.

I don't have a subscription. Duolingo has Finnish, and has had for quite a while.

** The article was submitted 12 November, so "forever" in this case is not a record-breaking amount of time, but it still felt rather long.

* The journal took forever** to get it reviewed. This is a hazard of writing in a very niche corner of the field.
