I strongly agree and disagree with that statement to some extent.

Queer in STEM: LGBTQ in STEM: Who are we? →
iamlittlei:

If you’re queer, have completed at least a bachelor’s or technical degree, and are working in STEM in any capacity — grad school, the tenure track, corporate R&D, the nonprofit sector, or science communication — we want to hear from you, and we need your help to collect a...

Pug Watches the End of Homeward Bound
Grab a bowl of kibble and put your paws up.
This paper in Statistical Science literally starts out with “Survey weighting is a mess.”
NO KIDDING. I swear I could be done with this PhD in like, three years if it weren’t for survey weighting.
(In which Richard whines about stupid things that are plaguing him right now.)

It only took Pokémon 14 years to have a black NPC and 17 years to allow you to play as a POC. So inspirational.

Lying on the floor of my new apartment because I haven’t moved my couches yet. Watching the MLE iterations run in my HLM analysis.
On Tumblr, writing without the use of personal pronouns, or subjects, for that matter.
Thinking about getting groceries.

What a beautiful afternoon to sit in my yard and drink a milkshake
The boys…
They have arrived….
Finally set up the internet in the new apartment.
Starting that stage of moving where I spend mealtimes and bedtime and the old apartment, and all other times at the new one.
There’s maybe nothing that sounds more hilariously stupid than full grown adults running a comprehensive mic check.

Adulthood doesn’t mean you stop drinking juice pouches and eating fruit snacks. It means buying your own.
Definitely bought Capri Sun and Rice Krispies last week.

I would like to do more in Pottermore, really, but the Polyjuice potion killed it for me. Still haven’t moved beyond that.

Jonathan Hobin has made a name for himself by dressing kids up as infamous players from history and placing them in re-creations of tragedies that range from 9/11 to the JonBenet Ramsey murder. Some p…
I’m not posting the actual photos because I think that they might trigger some people.

Did I ever tell you guys about that time I did a global search for matches on OkCupid, and one of my top five matches was a guy I recognized as someone I used to follow on Tumblr?
Too bad he doesn’t live anywhere near me/we never really talked, even though I had messaged him a couple of times on here.
Still, wild.

Well:
Code is organized
Apartment is cleaned
Tres leches cake is soaking in the fridge
Finances up to date
And I don’t feel all that different. I slowly feel like being productive is no longer a happy goal in and of itself.
Sometimes, I treat myself to whole milk because it makes me feel alive.
Why are there no ice cream sandwiches in my freezer?
