US executive order; Descent into overt fascism; Cussing
Holy shit
The cognitive dissonance required to invoke the memory of Rosa Parks and Dr King and then continue to write this holier-than-thou "racism is already fixed so don't talk about it" manifesto

USpol, Fascism, Link from the White House
Exec order just came down yesterday, antiracism and antisexist education is now essentialy forbidden in government agencies. This is straight up "war is peace, ignorance is wisdom" shit

You writing your dissertation?
Hey you there - working on your dissertation?
Be proud of yourself.
You're basically writing a book, and that's hard, but you're doing it.
Good job.

One of my PhD supervisors was from another uni and never got any formal credit from her uni for helping me out (which she did, a lot).
She has since quit that uni, because of all the inevitable bullshit of unis, and is doing what she wants.
She's still supervising students that are completing their postgrad, and organising group catch-ups with all of us so we can talk about how we're feeling, and be examples for each other that there is hope.
She's basically the best

Giving people likes when I'm not in the thread just like driving past slowly giving everyone a thumbs up
What research is like
Come to think of it, "differences in estimates for the length of time a task will take to complete" is a plot point in a lot of episodes of Star Trek
