from the river to the sea

Do I even have to remind people to mask at GenCon? Like I’m tired lmao

For those who attended #Tekko & cons recent & future - good thread on how to best utilize Covid rapid testing.

We ARE currently in a wave. & asymptomatic cases can happen which is also bad for Long Covid (on top of symptomatic ones)

Links below for tests & masks. Reach out for other resources!

“Despite being trans, i dont drink white monster”

GENCON

There are currently more kids in Texas with measles than there are transgender collegiate athletes in all of America.

Guess which one they want you to focus on.

Love

And this is why im so insistent on getting a phd

This sounds fucking atrocious

Does it just win with fair beats and atraxa??

If this PI doesnt want me i think its pretty close to FUBAR

being trans in 2025 is like having to deal with somebody going "good news, we won't be throwing you into a lake of eels", and then having that same somebody come in literally five seconds later going "actually, nevermind. one of our representatives just said we will be. this is final."

Might be looking up slightly. There is some hope.

I get to clean out my desk today :)

Felt

Lmao

We do track youth suicide rates, but we don’t often ascribe cause accurately, if at all.

Especially when, for youth, it’s usually non-affirming parents who ascribe fault. You know, the people who don’t believe transness is a valid state.

Continuing to struggle

Already on 20mg :)

Please be proud of me

Didnt kill myself today

Really wish i didnt exist

Sent 3 emails today exhausted

Ive TA’d for gen chem for years and I guess I never really ever wondered “why” colligative properties work. I guess i always thought that salt disrupted the hydrogen bonds but that wouldnt make sense to make things colder! Thank you!

I dont have any experience writing them but like, im diverse

5 cold emails so far, one positive response, one negative (expected). Have 5 more PIs on the list for tomorrow.

Trying desperately to keep my head up and not despair

Feeling this deeply

Screenshot of a tweet from @ayseneinart on Twitter: “PSA to people coming back from [Insert Magic Event], when you test for Covid: 1) SWAB YOUR THROAT *AND* YOUR NOSE. Doing both gives much clearer results on home tests. 2) TEST AT LEAST *TWICE* WITH A COUPLE DAYS APART. Don’t just shrug it off after one negative test, timing matters.”

Tapping the sign so much I’m gonna end up punching a hole through it—

5 cold emails sent

Lov ur art

Sending out cold emails tomorrow to try to salvage my phd
