My cats are a lesson in trust. They bare their claws and teeth, keep my fingers in their mouth but never bite down because they trust me, this thing that is 100x their size and controls almost every part of their life to still treat them with tenderness and care

Recently: Went to my first conference of my academic career and was absolutely pissed out of my mind drunk the entire time. I was in talks and presentations hung like a horse but the threat of throwing up somehow made me focus a lot on the presented content and give a little inspiration for my own research. The picture below is genuinely the only picture I have of the entire experience... but alas! I am also reading sunrise on the reaping and I want to kill myself!

#mira et al#sunrise on the reaping#ah a young stupid academic#this conference is a nortorious party to just get drunk and socialise amongst the phd crowd btw I wasn't just make a bad impression#I do respect my career and research group I PROMIISE!#PhD#academia

every time i see a post about not using chatgpt or other LLMs for work/school that boils down to 'convenience is morally wrong and desiring it degrades the entire human race' rather than 'these things fabricate details and are not reliable tools for synthesizing information' i lose another year off of my life

I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them
cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.
cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

I think. I think that this year I will be more brave about sharing my writing, a book I've been working on since my teen years :)
