Just led the first club meeting of Economics Club, as club president, of the new semester! I'm super excited for what we're going to make of this!

On the hunt for an #Economics internship for 2026, US or Canada based. Intermediate (and growing) proficiency in French, so Québec is firmly a possibility. #EconSky drop me a line if you know of any opportunities for a US-based doctoral student in economics!

Well thanks ChatGPT, yes, I will take that feedback.

If I failed the Snark Check, I apologize in advance. (In my defense it's 11pm.)

In this instance, it's an ARRAnged collection of objects.

Just got out of the first class of my PhD, as a bona fide PhD student. I'm absolutely elated. So happy to be on this journey.

This whole "let's catch the bus in the morning instead of driving in" idea is letting me get caught up on my reading and relax and wake up in the morning, while still getting to school on time. Very ok with this.

Well. Turns out that two years of using BlueSky as more of a personal blog-type dealio and less of a porn stash has paid off. Quick trip down two years of memory lane has me feeling...

Grateful. I've come a very long way, very quickly. Just got to keep thriving. #furtherup #furtherin

What kind of pervert would do that? ;)

"Hairstyle: Queer professional." "Say less."

Clearly this bluesky profile is for the bears, so I just made a professional bluesky profile. I know when a battle is lost. LOL

I spent the entire day in Baltimore yesterday and my (exhausted) queer soul is refreshed and revived. Got some summer reading to inform my studies while I'm in DC. Very excited for these.

When he invited me over for a bite, I thought we would be having bread. But he just wanted to be a pain in the ass. #blague

I've got 99 problems, and maximizing utility subject to a wage rate and future consumption is definitely one.

Leave those drag queens alone! It's dangerous business lip syncing at Easter brunch, and those heels are hella easy to fall in!

Feels like a major decision to continue French in the Fall, because it is, what with starting a PhD program, but I'll be going as an auditor only. That will give me significant flexibility.

On y va!

When your 13yo starts texting her parents with updates on the market after school because that is apparently more exciting than any ongoing middle school drama #financialcrisisindicators

A year ago I was struggling after being discharged from the psychiatric hospital, trying to get back on my feet.

Today I'm flying so high that I've forgotten what it feels like to walk.

I was admitted to my school's PhD program today, in my field of study, #Economics. I have been absolutely overwhelmed with emotion and frankly at a loss for words. Suffice to say, today marks the culmination of years work, and the beginning of years more, and I am so, so grateful for this. #EconSky

Something I've been developing while in graduate school is a program that will take my recorded lectures, as .mp3s, transcribe them, summarize them, and return them to me as text files for further analysis. As of today, I'm thrilled to say, It Works. My classmates will be thrilled. LOL

A remarkable consequence of recording a video journal entry of myself is that...my brain doesn’t know the difference between “me” and “that person on the monitor who’s having a hard time.” And I find myself responding to myself with the same grace and kindness I would give anyone else.

Wow.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

Writing up your homework assignments in TeX is one of the unspoken joys of studying in a mathematics-heavy discipline.

Just a little macroeconomics for you. #EconSky

Good news! I'm following God!

Look at the big swinging dick on Larry. 😏

After self-studying French for five years, my first class is starting to fill in the gaps that I predictably had, and it feels so good to learn what I missed.

Scientist calls the disappearance of federal health data a 'digital book burning' NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Nancy Krieger, a social epidemiologist at Harvard University, about her efforts to preserve federal health data that recently disappeared from government websites.

The Nazis burned books they considered subversive. The #Trump administration is conducting a "digital book burning" according to researchers--destroying information from federal agencies on the web on topics they consider subversive but are essential for public health. www.npr.org/2025/02/05/n...
