Hi, hello. Are you a tenure stream faculty member at a university in the US? Or a FT non union administrator? I am a doctoral student and would love to talk to you for my research. Hit me in the DMs if you're willing!

I think this was probably one of my favorite episodes so far. @kyleiphd.bsky.social is a neuroscientist and he popped over to #thefoolishoptimistpodcast for a chat!

Scientists at the University of Miami are carrying out a research study on how scientists use online platforms like Twitter/X and Bluesky. If you are 18 years of age or older and are a scientist who uses these platforms for professional purposes, please click the link below to complete a short survey. If you are interested in learning more about this research study, please e-mail us at Julia.wester @ miami.edu. In the body of your email please provide your full name, and if you would prefer to be contacted by phone, your phone number and the best time to reach you. Contacting us for more information does not commit you to participating, and should you decide to participate you may terminate your participation at any time.

If you are a scientist (including graduate students) or professional science communicator who is at least 18 years old and are using Bluesky for any kind of professional purposes, please consider taking our survey.

That is my issue. And I never see the first one. Must always click.

Can't explain it, but I do not love how messages thread on here. Maybe it's me.

The Podcast Industry Has Learned Nothing | Defector Look at this 2014-ass job listing: Audacy, which was at one point the second-largest radio company in the U.S. before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, seems to be trying to pull a Ringer a decade lat...

Don't worry, I still want to talk about podcasts all day. | The Podcast Industry Has Learned Nothing - defector.com/the-podcast-...

Netflix is probably pushing it. Which means people watch it then it gets into the social media algorithms. Kinda hope it's not though?

I add "close some tabs" to my to-do lists. It forces me to check which ones I actually need/want.

Wanna be friends?

Academics! I am seeking participants for a qualitative research study which explores the relationship between onboarding practices and organizational commitment for adjunct faculty.

If you fit the criteria below and are interested to participate, please complete this form: forms.gle/9xQmwew5sCvz...

I must also be unwell because this seems fun.

Update: sometimes I do it, too.

Any hobbies? Are you on Goodreads? lol

Perfect! I must warn you up top that I am a committed friend. I want to hear anything you want to share and I have podcasts recs if you want them.

I can start conversations but immediately feel like I am annoying. Following that ringing endorsement, are you in New York, and would you like to be friends?

Forgot I turned my headphones off and then clicked on a video. On the train. Ask me how I feel about this in 60 years when I can't sleep.

if you elect four Speakers of the House you get to trade them in for one Speaker of the Hotel

For people that wear glasses and replace them regularly (yearlyish), do you get the same kind every time? How do you decide when to change your look?

i know i am ice skating uphill here but i am going to continue asking folks to behave like they have had a human interaction before

In this phase in my life, I am using a laundromat weekly. It is surprising to me how many people literally just watch their laundry as it's getting cleaned.

My son is three and very interested in learning Spanish. I don't think there is a class for a kid that young (though I am looking). Any suggestions on resources to get him started?

On the train and all of a sudden everyone around me seems like they don't care that this is a quiet activity.

I don't see enough Black voices on this platform -- maybe I haven't found them yet? Let's try something together, if y'all feel like it:

- If you're a Black scientist on Bluesky, feel free to respond here and I'll follow you

- If you're not, please share the responses (and/or this post) to amplify

With food!

Hello, I am interested in hearing about this ad nauseum.

I dislike the random company names like flub* or KLR [pronounced clear]* and they all make me think of Slurm from Futurama.

*I made these names up. If this is your business name, I have no idea what your business does, and my only opinion at this time is that I don't like the name.

I wear a mask on transit and always think that means people don't know what I am thinking, and that's because I forget my eyes are not very good at lying so it hardly matters that most of my face is covered.

This has happened to me a few times but once by a person I think truly meant it. It was about a year and a half ago and in the time since I have considered his "do less" advice when I make time for fun stuff that would usually be ignored because of work.

On that note, if anyone on this app wants to talk with me for fun about podcast programming/ads, or the community around any pods they listen to, I am available.
