Starting to think that my hopes of "things will settle down after the Japan conference" are a bit far fetched considering my next two months are occupied by exams, midterms, 2 or 3 conferences plus my parents coming over to visit. Somehow. I feel like it's not gonna be too calm

working at the cutting edge of research on something that's never been done before is great until you're reading papers and all of them are like "the prospects for this are awful and we're not gonna detect this soon (conservative estimate)" bc everyone's a pessimist

"Instead of 21 years to the center of the Galaxy, [our friends on Earth] would measure [...] 30,000 years. When we got home, few of our friends would be left to greet us." - Sagan, Cosmos

"few"?? is. is Carl Sagan implying vampires exist? What does he know?? WHO does he know???

I have known some truly joyless oppressors. I'm like... you have all this privilege?? Be happy at least??? I do think that maintaining misery, believing some people should be miserable is a HUGE obstacle to becoming anti racist etc.
joy is praxis. i will not be elaborating.
