I‘m mainly over at Bluesky these days if you want to find me somewhere online (same handle as here). I just found I have trouble following more than two social media platforms and Bluesky as well as Instagram have proven to be them.

I really don’t know how to make it shorter without leaving out significant information though. 🫠

What they somehow do not consider is that my legs are relatively long … which means I have to re-adjust the saddle because otherwise my knees start hurting. 🙃

16.7.2023 09:45The temperature will actually be bearable next week, omg. 😱 I completely forgot what it’s like to not feel dizzy thanks to the heat lolI’m also incredibly grateful to have a best friend who understands academia and always manages to help me calm down without ever giving me the feeling that my worries are laughable or stupid, and without whose support I never even would have come this far in the first place. ❤️

Today also was the last day before the semester break. I tied up a lot of loose ends this week and even though I’m still a little gutted my new position isn’t a research position (don’t get me wrong, I still like my new job a lot), I’m really looking forward to this ‘new’ life.

That feeling of finally leaving a job and knowing that every annoying person you had to deal with there is now someone else’s problem. So nice. ✨

Limiting the posts a user can view per day sounds like the shittiest idea there is for a platform that wants people to see many, many ads 🙃

28.5.2023 13:56In a few days I’ll finally be back after missing this view for four years. ❤️Ok, story time: four years ago I was dragged to lunch by the two people who have by now become my best friends. One of them told us how he’d love to organise a field trip to Scotland again. Then Corona (and other things) happened. Last summer we convinced him to finally do it by offering our help because we knew we would graduate this year in summer. Next week we’re all flying to Scotland together. The week after our return, we’ll celebrate our graduation. Perfect timing & lots of planning ✨

One of them told us how...Also really uncool that the prison complained they could not reach me via the landline at the office (I only work 15 hrs a week and half of them remote 🙃), so instead of writing an email or calling my work mobile phone, they complained to one of the volunteers until said volunteer gave them my private mobile phone number. Didn’t even know the guy had my private number. 🫠

Am I glad one of the male volunteers will be chatting with him while I’ll stay at my desk working? Yup. Because this is a guy who murdered women and while he is polite, he can also be intense and creepy and you really *don’t* want him to know anything about your personal life.
24.5.2023 06:20Am I glad the guy is escorted? Yup. Am I glad one of the male volunteers will be chatting with him while I’ll stay at my desk working?...I told my best friend yesterday that I’m annoyed I have to be at the office tomorrow on very short notice because a murderer is having his day of escorted leave from prison and wants to drop by, and judging from my best friend’s panicked look I probably forgot to mention that my work does this volunteer group at prison where the discuss politics and educate prisoners. 😅
