I submitted my PhD last week.

But they are in wars.
They are against women,
against immigrants,
against queer,
against people of colour.
They are against arts,
against science.
They are against nature,
against humanities.

They are against humanity.

And how can I use my PhD to be against them?

Chris Wright saying "I made 5 calls for 5 scientists"

IPCC: thousands of scientists, years of writing and multiple rounds of peer review.

Baby tapir getting scritches for their itches.

If you want to scritch your very own tapir & you live outside of Central or South America or SE Asia, you'll need to visit a zoo.

But these little guys are (evolutionarily) from around here, in North America. Let's talk about it.

Academic perfectionist and impostor syndrome level has reached their maximum threshold lately. And also gosh the job market is so depressing. I love reading the venting section of ecoevo job net lol. Have to keep telling myself to have a β€œwhite man” mindset.
Or be like this little (big) one πŸ‘‡
