Keeping track on science news websites helps a ton. I also follow my former normie colleagues in here, they keep me updated on the fields I used to work on. Checking the feeds on the areas relevant to you also helps. Science bluesky is alive and thriving!

Thankfully my parents absolutely supported me because their own parents never did, and chose their careers for them instead. My parents knew I was an animal nerd since ever and did not want me to grow up with regrets in a job I would hate. And it's true, I have no regrets and love my job. 🦊

Then sexism appeared as she said "well, but you are equally good in creative skills, so you should choose arts because science is difficult for girls".

I thought "I'm not a girl" and continued in science.

@orkidebelladona.bsky.social speaking of horsies!

Hope it does helps, and wishing that you get the therapy appointments easy and fast. We are here for you for anything you need. Especially if it is nerding about horsies WE ARE HERE! 🐴

Also I opened DMs just for this, but if too many bots come and I close them, just feel free to comment and I'll send a link! (At least unilateral DMs work yey)

A BEBE! 💜

I do need an autumn pic....
