Scene: coworking with bff.
Him: locked in
Me: unharnessed and unhinged

Me, out loud, to the void: What's another word for "suggests?"
Also me: Our results lowkey imply that...

FYI: Clear and Touchless closed at the Atlanta Airport at 1:30 because they didn't have enough TSA agents to keep them open. It just took me about 70 minutes to get through security w/precheck

A tweet that reads “The new academic wealth gap isn't your university. It's not even your advisor's connections. It's who knows Claude can turn 50+ research papers into a thesis chapter in 3 hours and who's still manually coding qualitative data. I just watched a sociology PhD skip 8 weeks of analysis. Here are the 9 prompts they used:”

fuck this so much

we are so not prepared for the mountain of dogshit “scholarship” about to flood journals everywhere

This is antisemitic. She didn't tell non-Jews to shut up and be happy about money.

Today I tried to place an online order from Chipotle and had to verify my identity to get into my account thrice. But anyway, sulfuric acid can totally dissolve human bones in that stuff...

Welp, they just nuked the childhood vaccine schedule. Who wants to keep children from 17 vaccine preventable diseases when we can just choose to only prevent 11! 🤡 Who in customer service do I speak to about a refund on 2026?

Hey, #EpiSky, what's your favorite song?

Someone help, I'm a grown adult watching wealthy white young women do "early Christmas haul reveals" on TikTok because their families travel on Christmas.

Me: Oh, yeah, well, it's a full moon...

Also me: Trying to complete a PhD in science

Part 2: SAS does not have that fun little "We detected an improper shutdown, here's what you were last working on" popup like Office products 💔

Me: Panic runs code in SAS that I didn't really think all the way through because it would take 7 days

SAS: Crashes

Me: Me, too, bestie 💗

It's #GivingTueaday and my alma mater, Agnes Scott College, is always my first stop. I owe this community and these incredible women so much. Support the next generation of Scottie leaders! www.givecampus.com/schools/Agne...

Measles cases surge while associated deaths are declining. Why? Because most privileged people in the world harness that power and use it not to ensure vaccine equity to end needless, vaccine-preventable deaths, but rather, to opt their children out of vaccines because they won't die if they get it

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

I used to be so cool, but that's over now. Today, I Googled, "LinkedIn premium black friday discount."

The best part of being a scientist rounding the final corner of my dissertation journey? I know that I can't cry for at least 24 hours after this lash lift or I'll risk deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate. #WomenInSTEM

Reminder, vaccines are:
✔️ Safe
✔️ Effective
✔️ Cause adults

UPDATE: Person infected with bird flu in Washington state has H5N5. It's the first time H5N5 has been found in a human

Trying to finish a dissertation in epidemiology, or any science, right now is wild. Like, what do you mean PubMed won't load randomly, every click takes at least 10 tries, and it still probably won't open anything.

My dad was trying to give me a mid-dissertation panic writing pep talk and reminded me that I've really only ever wanted to be four things: an epidemiologist, a senator, POTUS, and Christiane Amanpour, and I'm almost one of them, and two are still possibilities.

We're living in increasingly unfergalicious times

Is it okay to include the Spice Girls in my dissertation acknowledgements?

Tylenol/autism stuff is bad for many reasons, but it will be used to push the idea that pregnant people shouldn't have pain relief. Women's pain is already dismissed.

Medicaid pays for a substantial % of childhood vaccines in FL. Will FL Medicaid/CHIP cont to cpay for the vaccines w/o the mandate? The revocation itself is worst case scenario, but if they longer cover the cost of vaccines? I don't know a word stronger than catastrophic but that's what it will be.

Florida Says It Plans to End All Vaccine Mandates

Once again, my home state is at the forefront of FAFO. Vaccines are safe, effective, and allow children to live past childhood.

Bama will still be ranked T10 tomorrow and FSU will remain unranked. But we'll always be the #1 party school. Go Noles ❤️💛

You know, if we, as a society, believed women and girls, we would never have to wait for a list.

Happy first day of internship year, new doctors! Learn who the charge nurse is and where they like to sit and never, ever sit there. Deep breaths, it's going to be fine. #MedSky

Thom Tillis has learned his lesson.

I'm dangerously close to my next decade on this earth, I have a whole dissertation to write, the world is on fire in every way, but right now I'm doing a live version of the eras tour in the pool for the wild bunnies in my parents' backyard. Long live. 🩷🪩🎀
