All work I deliver is of PhD quality, simply because I have a PhD 😌
Also, every meeting with me is an appointment with a doctor 😁

New today! Looking forward to the album in May, and seeing them with the Smashing Pumpkins in August.
Well, if nothing else, I've had a quite pleasant Last Day Of Western Civilisation.

Popped into town for a couple of bits on a peak Christmas shopping day, and this spoke to me.
@TheBreadmonkey @LoganFive Hee Hee!
Alas, my 3pm meeting today is not as fun as it sounds (it's to do with a research group that develops new medicines).
I don't think I've seen this new Liz Climo comic posted here yet, which surprises me.
Cat: Meow!
Me: You've been fed!
Cat: I was told there would be no fact-checking.
Previous boost: I've got a short story where the protagonist (thinly-veiled me) uses an innovative VR therapy to talk to previous versions of herself. Her 4-year-old and 9-year-old facsimiles actually listen to her, even if they don't heed her soothing words, but her 15-year-old version just isn't having it.
I've been having a confidence crisis over this story (and writing in general) but I feel a bit better about it now 😄
I contributed to a report for the WHO Behaviour and Cultural Insights Hub, so that's pretty cool. It's about how history (all sorts of times, contexts and considerations) can inform how we think about and address loneliness today, and is a super interesting read: https://bci-hub.org/documents/history-loneliness-what-we-know-so-far #history #loneliness
I'm in this photo and I don't like it.
Never quite sure if I finally got the hang of social situations in my mid-20s, or if I just aged out of being stuck in places with people who were too immature/cliquey to make the quiet weirdo feel wanted and included.
Maybe it's just extraordinarily good luck that I've repeatedly found myself among people who 'get' and value me, and avoided assholes over the past decade or so 🤷♀️
Came across this recently, and reminded of it just now when I had to remind myself I can just say 'sorry for the delay getting to this' without adding 'I had lots of meetings/was swamped/etc'. #trauma #ptsd
Previous boost: a compliment I got on my PhD work a lot back in the day was that it was very "human" 😁
But srsly, I doubt AI would get the same results I did from my sources because it would just count up words like "lonely" and "spoiled", whereas I looked into the surrounding context, eg 'I suppose I was lonely' suggests people didn't remember feeling lonely, but later imposed the judgement that they must have been because they didn't have siblings.

The Mono Polys - Bluebird

A local post-punk band who were around about ten years ago that I got quite into. Unfortunately, their story had a sad end.
@BigGayShaun also helps avoid misunderstandings such as Doctor Whore Watch (DoctorWhoRewatch) and Su's anal bum party (SusanAlbumParty) 😁
