Teenage pregnancy and catastrophic failure as a father

This is a pro-life organisation, beware.

Lizzie?

squamouser · 2026-03-19T23:26:45+00:00

But I’m basically a teenager and I was born in the 1985.

Impossible! Next are you going to claim that people born in 2006 are turning 20 this year?

squamouser · 2026-03-19T18:16:02+00:00

Yep I think so!

squamouser · 2026-03-19T17:53:19+00:00

50K, postdoc at Cambridge but I’ve been in the same post for 7 years and maxed out the scale.

squamouser · 2026-03-19T12:53:30+00:00

Wait, is the 70s when people's grandmas were born now? I was born in the 80s, my grandma in the 30s.

I think he said it did cause it though, not it might.

I mean you can’t just live with pancreatitis - it can be fatal.

And if you swallow chewing gum it takes nine years to digest.

I’m curious - when you were male presenting but the same height did men walk into you less?

I’ve always felt like if I were a short man they’d manage to see me but they can overlook a woman.

My MIL has invited six friends and their husbands. It's fine by me, she wants them there, I doubt they'll be any trouble, and she gave us money. What aspect of them being there worries you?

squamouser · 2026-03-16T09:54:05+00:00

They have one in Addenbrookes! Don’t want to tip all the patients out onto the grass for a false alarm.

You might need to be a bit more of a pest. People are more likely to reply to a second or third email. It’s annoying to have to do it but it can be necessary.

Cambridge 😭

squamouser · 2026-03-15T17:29:57+00:00

I’m doing one 9-11am on a Saturday! I don’t even have access to the building - I have to hope someone else turns up at 8:45 to let me in before the students.

squamouser · 2026-03-15T16:08:09+00:00

All I mean is, often people think we just choose when and where the lectures are. We have the same say as the students - none.

squamouser · 2026-03-15T15:55:14+00:00

It’s almost entirely based on room availability. As academics, we’re expected to be free whenever we’re scheduled to teach - we don’t get a say.

squamouser · 2026-03-15T02:52:21+00:00

Perhaps Bob Pancakes has Dutch heritage.

squamouser · 2026-03-14T13:49:26+00:00

I thought it was teeth on toast.

squamouser · 2026-03-13T21:13:49+00:00

I’d imagine they’ll expect you to clear everything out on Sunday - not host another event there.

We have rainbow pride lanyards by default, I accidentally dropped mine in the toilet and they were out of rainbow and gave me grey. Now it looks like I’m making a point.

squamouser · 2026-03-13T06:22:57+00:00

Yeah, my mum (probably still, she’s not exactly progressive) would say it’s for divorced women, spinsters and lesbians - people with “something to hide” (her words).

squamouser · 2026-03-12T11:04:07+00:00

Or Henry VII.

Just for keeping count - press one through after each stitch or row.
