Last thing,

#PRFB. Sec. II.B. reads "Applicants who propose remaining in their current locations or positions must justify why a new location or position is not being proposed." When LGBTQIA+ & uterine rights are under attack in 33+ states, this unreasonable & dangerous. 11

Ultimately, framing LLMs as anything but what they are (theft of human labour on an unprecedented scale mixed with venture capitalist lies) is fetishism.

The fact we need to keep having this conversation is super boring tho. Maybe an LLM can be trained on my tweets and replace me. I consent if it's to argue this for me.

Ok I took beginning drawing classes pre-covid for this reason (I failed all day at PI stuff and then went to art class and shaded four cubes and was told how exceptional I was) and yes, it was so nice to end the day with having accomplished something even four shaded cubes

But just to say adulthood in America seems to be incompatible with social life in a way an app like this alleviated! But also I expect to have 53 billion mystical eggs this week

I'm not giving up on 🐘, though I miss you, this place gives off more failed carnival vibes every time I come visit. I'd like it if we could find a substitute that didn't enrich one of the most garbage humans to walk the earth OR drive people away with its weird rules

Lots of people on mastodon talk about how leaving Twitter gave them more peace, but there are just as many bs things in real life to be mad about as faculty as there are here I'm saying peace was never an option

In the fall I largely replaced Twitter with the idle phone game Egg, Inc. I now have 52.4 billion mystical eggs, but also less peer social interaction, which believe or not, I might miss?

Reminder that "sunlight in your eyes" in the middle of the day, when UV index is strongest, can cause eye sunburn and long-term lead to macular degeneration

Getting sunlight in your eyes in the middle of the day can be beneficial but that’s the “circadian dead zone” during which you can’t shift your clock. Viewing morning sunlight & evening sunlight is really the key to a robust nights sleep & strong focus & energy during the day.

Also: -Are the grad students unionized? -Does health insurance include dental? -If offered funding, is it a 9-month or 12-month funding scheme? -What’s the closest airport? Are there free or inexpensive shuttles from campus? -What local perks do you get with your student ID?

Here are some things to consider after getting into a grad program: - What's the cost of living? - How diverse is the town and/or school? - How resourced is your department? - Are people collaborative or competitive? - What do people do AFTER the degree? #AcademicTwitter #PhD
