Hey BlueSky!

I am a Canadian 4th year PhD student in experimental physics (condensed matter), but my goal is to become a full time instructor! I also live with ESRD and I'm not afraid to talk about it.

I hope to meet other scholars and hear about their (stressfull) journeys in academia 😄

I hate how my hospital room has a better view than my 1700$ apartment...

...at least I cook somewhat better than the hospital food service. Toast and a single, boiled egg this morning? (That might be better than I can do)

I've made it to year 3 of having Stage 5 (End Stage) Kidney Disease.

I am one in about 1900 people in Canada living with stage five. I am also waiting for a transplant. The wait time is roughly 5 years for a deceased donor. 1/2

Didn't Canadian Conservatism mean you cared about lower taxes, less government, keeping the government away from schools and not telling people what to do with their bodies?

Now the Albertan UCP spouts more government, more needless legislation *against* people, and more spending. Why, Alberta?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO but also WHAT A GAME! PHILIPS is absolutely amazing. They'll get it next year!

Minnesota fans, congrats on winning the Walter 100% of the time so far 😤

Can't wait to see how the next #PWHL season kicks off with two teams out here in the West!

I was too busy driving across provinces to catch THE GAME THAT SENT OTTAWA TO THEIR FIRST FINAL.

So either Minnisota wins 2/2 Walters which would be *interesting*, but even better OTTAWA CAN BECOME CHAMPIONS.

I believe in Alberta seperatism.

That is, I believe I need to separate from Alberta. What is actually going on nowadays.

The #Sens didn't dissapoint this season! It was great to be able to watch playoff hockey again.

Can't wait to see how the boys improve again next year! #GoSensGo

With two more wins, the #Sens can go from the Battle of Ontario to the Tkachuk Cup and I'm so ready for it.

"Dad, there's a face in the milk."
"Okay I mean it's just milk clean it up."

The biggest improvement to being admitted to a hospital bed instead of hanging out in ER is the food. Honestly I think toast and jam is waaaaaaay better than the egg salad
