offline friends be like here’s something new i wrote in case you, personally, want to drop everything for 30 minutes to read it 🙏

paragraph 2 of book review

everything that's wrong with phd training in europe

god is punishing them for being flaky and late

them: can we take a raincheck i've never been so depressed i think i might die

me: 👍

when someone writes me "Dear hadas, if I may"

whoa imagine if we knew how to build a car

leftist publishers when you ask them about open access

right after i post a quip i come up with a funnier version of it

me at my dad's bday party: what would you say was your greatest accomplishment

my dad: i established a team at work-

my mom: the family. he meant the family

crazy, i thought it was only 5 belgiums away

academia watching you enroll in a graduate program that’ll leave you unemployed an indebted

“this edible ain’t shit”

*30 minutes later

carnival cruise the strait of hormuz

a supposedly fun thing i'll never do again

every academia is dark academia for those with eyes to see

literally just replace evaluation with a lottery system the results will be the same

maybe hormuz is closed bc it's the weekend

sorry about the strait of hormuz, it's because i tried to go there

"i was so happy you were also in that meeting just, like, sitting there radiating hostility"

academia trying to regulate the use of ai

me: he actually asked me questions which, i'm sorry, is rare for men

gay friend: you're forgetting i date men

and i still can’t remember to charge my phone until 2 minutes before i leave the house

"the number of grant applications is rising sharply. our capacity for their evaluation isn’t."

my self-discipline when there’s cake

“you already have plans for today?” yes to have it unfold exactly as I expected

on the subway hiding from person i'm having lunch with tomorrow so we don't run out of conversation

thing don't reach fruition the way they used to

big grant schemes whining about the volume of applicants should just eliminate overhead so our institutions stop forcing us to apply
