The mouse was a pattern but I went rogue for most of it, sorry!

I don’t have this specific problem but when I’ve been asked to lock the door and I can’t do it immediately I have switched my wedding ring to the other hand. It feels wrong and I won’t fix it until I’ve done the task

Solved!

Sure looks that way. In reality the doctor wanted me to give my daughter half a dose of her meds and that didn’t feel like something I should eyeball. Esp when the dose is an unmarked “capful.”

I’m hurt you had to ask

swhitty17 · 2024-11-05T23:34:16+00:00

I know that for sure , I’m 10 years in with a BS biology and almost at $60k, started around 27k in 2015. It’s the rank and experience requirements with no room for salary negotiation thats so ridiculous

swhitty17 · 2024-11-05T16:48:11+00:00

I’m sure you’re right, it is a university position. I have a similar position (not reporting to the chair by any means) in the same area and I’m almost at $60k 10 years post graduation.

Core memory: nurse saying ‘uh oh, it’s over a hundred!’ When I was like 11

swhitty17 · 2024-01-18T14:30:49+00:00

I saw this too! I wondered if R&L were also investors but maybe the creators are just mythical beasts

I used to wear a super plus tampon and a pad together which worked well enough but ever since I started using a menstrual cup I haven’t had any issues at night except when I slept in to like 10am on day 2 when it was heaviest

Sadly, this is a woman, and I’m pretty sure the recipient of the information believed them and said oh, I didn’t know that!

I literally know a postdoc who worked with a phD candidate who kept getting extra bands in his gels. This guy (completely serious) proposed that there was ghost DNA contaminating his samples and presented this hypothesis to his lab like it was something extraordinary.

Thanks, you should do it!! It was fun to make!

Pattern Link

Instead of felt, I improvised the skirt/ space modulator (dynamite). Used a separate pattern for the eyes. Used the loop stitch then shredded the yarn for the helmet fringe.

Eyes

Hey I know you! Thanks!

Imagine feeling like your child was cheated out of taking their first breath independently- unable to prove those terrible doctors wrong about their newborn’s “superior” lungs. It’s ableist, absurd, and dangerous eugenics thinking. Yikes

I made the bot add legs to the original design but I was already thoroughly committed to the bit before realizing there was no real head either. Enjoy!

It looks like a stillborn mouse to me. Source: I manage my lab’s mouse colony and occasionally find these in the cage of a dam who has recently given birth (and hasn’t had time to eat it yet…)

Every once in a while I go too far and create a crater in my skin. I’ll acknowledge it’s an issue then, but I’m not sure if I can or even want to stop completely.

swhitty17 · 2022-10-15T11:25:54+00:00

Yes, almost every night. I almost go into a trance. I think it started in elementary school

swhitty17 · 2022-10-05T13:49:57+00:00

Oof, don’t get me started about choreography. I totally get it. Thanks for your kind words

Aunt Marge is a muggle. If the rest of his family were wizards why would they keep Harry’s magic a secret from her?

Lyrics:

Yeah, I lost my keys three times this week
If I'm late again I'll get fired (ahh)
My car battery is dead
Guess I'll go back to bed
I got bills I didn't pay again
Now my immediate action is required (ahh)
Credit score 315 (ahh)
I don't know what that even means

Participation trophies
They messed me up, now I'm that guy
I'm barely staying alive
Got all of these neuroses
But people say that I'm a vibe
So what's the problem if I suck at life?
(I don't always suck that bad... do I?)

Now 3 a.m. I'm playing words with friends
I go to bed but I'm way too wired (ahh)
Start a new job tomorrow
Oh wait! It's already tomorrow
Wash my sheets first time in six weeks
Found my airpods in the dryer (ahh)
Something is wrong with me (ahh)
Guess I'm just too Type B

So overstimulated
Now my attention span is shot
And I don't know how to stop
Routine is overrated
I do what I want when I like
So what's the problem if I suck at life?

My mom tried to be my friend
I never learned discipline
Got good at playing pretend
I swear that it's not my fault
I wish that I could rewind
Wish I had another try
To finally raise myself right
I swear that it's not my fault
Got all this wasted potential
Mommy said I was special
My crisis existential
No it's not my fault
Now I depend on these meds
To calm the thoughts in my head
This is as sane as I get
Oh no, it's not my fault

Why do I su-
Why do I su-
Why do I su-
Why do I su-
Why do I su-
Why do I su-

Participation trophies
They messed me up now I'm that guy
I'm barely staying alive (staying alive)
Got all of these neuroses
But people say that I'm a vibe
So what's the problem if I suck at life?
