A Cambrian EXPLOSION? In THIS geology??

I'm so mad that I now understand the specific economic concept that Marx was making fun of with the "linens and coats" bit

Capital is just an extremely verbose diss track for nerds

TFW the new girlfriend hard launch on IG is how you find out about someone's divorce

A million thanks to @aljavieera for doing a call with me way back in 2020 about doing a PhD and encouraging me to reach out to my now advisor, what a gift

Overhearing a fellow graduate student talk about how cool and smart and great my advisor is, she is 100% correct and it's very cute

Hot Labor Summer giving way to The Fall of Capitalism?? Haha jk unless

Honestly kind of mad that I'm actually vibing with a book literally titled "How Not to Kill Yourself"

"You Learn" by Alanis Morisette and "Stay" by Lisa Loeb

Honestly I like her a lot of the time but it was just the most naked cliche of a new Burner I've ever encountered irl and today was the anniversary of the day he got hit by the car so it's on my mind

This time last year when my boyfriend got hit by a car his sister was at her first Burning Man and when she got back a few days later and visited us as he recovered from a concussion she asked him zero questions and just told us about her spiritual breakthrough while at Burning Man

lol

Maybe learning about the "science wars" of the 1990s just feels weird because as a millennial I grew up with constant reminders of the socially constructed conditions of technical knowledge in the form of authority figures clearly pushing total horseshit? Like between the Iraq War UN hearings and the climate change "debates" it seemed hard to pretend otherwise

A fun bit I like to imagine is Rhys Darby replacing Tom Hardy in Fury Road like "I suppose I'm more of a Miffed Max"

Kitty is ready for the long weekend

TFW you're in a history of science methods class and you realize you know one of the Social Text editors involved in the Sokal hoax and even worse you know him from Occupy Wall Street

This bit where Kitty will bark at me until I get into bed and then she will calmly lie down in bed to hang out with me is cute but I really do have to do stuff today
