After 16 years as a researcher, yesterday I left academia. It wasn’t a vain or easy decision, but one that took me at least 2 years in denial to acknowledge I needed to move on. This afternoon I gave back my TRI badge and left #FrazerInstUQ. This is why 👇🏽1/20
Because I'm sure absolutely everyone else is wondering this: The Cardinals' and Phillies' reds are similar enough that they share a Pantone shade (PMS 200 C) but juuuust different enough to have their own hex codes (#C41E3A for the Cardinals and #E81828 for the Phillies). Thanks.
I am on a spam email list where every email starts with "Dear General," (as in "General Recipient List"). When I read them, though, I imagine myself as a WWII General, receiving dispatches from the frontline via email.
At school dropoff, with other parents:
Parent 1: "<redacted> had Covid."
Parent 2: "Nothing a 303 wouldn't fix."
Me: "What's a 303?"
P2: "You must be too young! It's a rifle."
No, sir, it is not my age, it is simply that I am not fluent in firearms.

I know I'm not the first to say it, but episode 6 of #TheSandman is excellent. (So are all the episodes before it.) Watched it last night, can't stop thinking about it.
What do you do when you're filling out a form in Word and it has checkboxes, only you go to check them and they're not checkboxes, they're squares? I just threw my computer out the window.
@jameshutson I have watched ep 1 and loved it, avoiding watching too quickly so can wring every drop of enjoyment from it. I so desperately want it to be good. Will watch ep 2 tonight.
