Seeing discussion about Tom Holland & British museum, & people being mad (rightfully I feel). If you are as confused about this as I: two diff Tom Hollands, I give you this brief:
1: author, Islamophobe, and not really a historian
2: actor, and arguably pretty awesome as far as I can tell?

If you're in the US, considering Europe for your PhD, and you identify as a minority, I will chat with you and review any application documents you need 🧪
Many US students don’t know how to seek opportunities outside the US. With some help from our colleagues in EU and Canada, we could put together a consolidated website of PhD opportunities and scholarships outside the US, organized by field. There might still be time for this year in some places.
I’m having similar conversations and sharing international opportunities a lot. I’m sure for a lot of US based trainees that feels overwhelming. I moved to Europe for my postdoc.Happy to chat with any trainees about my experience if it would be helpful.

The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!

Update on Charci! Bloodwork done and beautiful. No redflags pointing to FIP, she’s not anemic, and no pressure on the eye so she won’t have to lose it at this time. FIV/FeLV- but her blood coagulates quickly. She has started exploring the house in small doses and nothing slows her down

I’ve been really bad at social media since starting my job at animal control, but I wanted to share my new foster Charci with you! She is blind, might be able to tell light/dark and is only about 3 months old. Bloodwork today postponed due to fever, will try again later next week

It's almost Valentine's Day so it's my yearly reminder that lilies are DEADLY to cats. Every single part of the lily. Even the tiniest sniff of pollen will send a cat into kidney failure within an hour. Lilies are a death sentence. If you have cats DO NOT have lilies in your home!

DID SOMEONE BRING UP A FOLK SONG anyway yes hi welcome to one of my special interests. The lyrics as collected by Child appear to be originally linked to a song called "The Elfin Knight" in which a fuckboi of an elf says he's gonna kidnap a woman unless she performs some impossible tasks. BUT!
Wait so is "Scarborough Fair" actually a song about telling some woman you used to date to do a bunch of unpaid domestic and agricultural labor for you in order to "prove" that she is good enough for you to date again???

I would like to take a moment to remind people that there are reasons besides ableism that people don't always include alt-text. Some of those reasons are medical. Punishing people for not being able to type out words all the time is also ableism. In 2024, please unlearn absolutism.

I made holiday themed bio cards for the stray kittens I need to find homes for, and I know there’s effectively zero chance it’ll be through Bluesky, but they’re adorable and I want to show them to you

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated or mentioned it, but my handle comes from my webcomic, Black Mudpuppy ( www.blackmudpuppy.com )
It’s about an ancient Aztec god trapped in the body of a giant talking salamander fighting undead nazi fungus monsters.

the other really destructive thing about men only being kind to women they want to fuck is it makes it seem like any man being kind to you must want to fuck you. it makes it difficult and loaded and sometimes stressful to just...receive kindness.
