We have a gorgeous afternoon ahead of us NYC. Get outside if you can.

Today I learned we can open Libby in a browser and listen to audiobooks. Your reign is over nerds.

Now that conservatives have started infighting, and raiding Ilhan Omar's home at the same time, let's see if conservative Congress members are smart enough to figure out we're all on the same list.

Good luck to the Chicago marathon runners, don't break anything. It feels weird for me to be sans race this year, naturally I just registered for next year's Chicago lottery. Sidebar: if we find me a bike and a wetsuit I'll put'em to good use 🫡

I solved today's Stretchle in 2 tries! games.weliftandshift.org/stretchle/

Get your ass outside NYC. It's gorgeous!!

Holy sh!t I can't stop with the good news y'all. I'm interviewing for adjunct professor.

Foster Pup-date. We start out with a battle of wills. She refuses to eat dry food or believe she belongs on furniture. I know she has no dietary restrictions and my adult children will agree the whining gets her nowhere. I'm not soft and refuse to fold dammit...

Hi. 👋 Biomedical engineer and former Special Operations Soldier here. We're not mad enough at Cornell. It's a leadership problem, not just a frat. Cornell was also recently caught union busting while scientists and researchers like me fight for better pay. www.aft.org/press-releas...

I have adult kids. If your kids aren't grown yet this is coming your way. Don't say I didn't warn you.

First time seeing this in print, please clap.

Chat, JetBlue just gave me 30k travel points. Is that a lot? How far can I go? What tricks and hacks do I need to know? This is my first time planning winter getaways.

I solved the Sudoku puzzle in 05:05! games.weliftandshift.org/sudoku/

I cleared the Beginner Board in 56s on Minesweeper! games.weliftandshift.org/minesweeper/

My fancy new masters degree in biomedical engineering earned me a job offer. It kinda locks me into "corporate academia" so this morning I reached out to a guy who runs a sports and fitness industry program for vets. Don't settle applies to careers too. We all gotta find the place we fit in.

Chat, today I asked a PhD candidate if she intentionally matched her shoes and fingernail polish. She immediately replied — you're weird. Men don't notice that stuff. She's right. I'm weird, I notice things, and men suck.

NYC is gorgeous today! Get your ass outside!

Me, with a master's degree in biomedical engineering, screaming at the government once again to stop giving Elon Musk fistfuls of cash while he manipulates our system of checks and balances. HE'S NOT EVEN A REAL ENGINEER!

No need to watch the Emmys if you haven't started. The pre-taped SVU sketch is over and it was good.

The craziest thing about Ed Sheeran is that Robert Kraft is in the files.

I sometimes call PTSD an acquired neurodiversity and it's all I could think about while reading this paper yesterday. I have no clue how I managed to complete a master's degree in biomedical engineering, but I managed. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42413601/

Anyone else woken up when these NYC thunderstorms started last night? I've had my windows open for weeks. It's awesome.

Out for a walk and stumbled onto possibly the coolest public space in NYC. You can guess but I'm keeping this one under wraps for a bit while I explore. Move your ass. Get outside. #nyc

Caught a front row seat to a conservative couple fighting at lunch. It was 10min of the girl trying to say — I have an open mind and might have a different opinion than you. Dude cut off every sentence with 1 word... Nope. Nope. Nope. Men are f'n stupid and Gloria Steinem's work was far from over 🫤

Hi — Book rant! Just started the first in the Heated Rivalry series, please no spoilers. But there is something too familiar about Scott Hunter's struggle with vulnerability in chapter 5 and I just need someone to scream it at me because I don't see my connection and can't put it into words.

OMG how people hate me for my dark sense of humor but... My latest block notification made me laugh out loud as I'm standing in the airport hearing Actually Romantic over the speakers. It's going to be such a fabulous week 😘

Dolly Parton would've wanted us to share good things today.

One of my kids struggled with a recent ADHD Dx so today I added them to a project mgmt app on my server. We can share tasks. They can assign them to me. I can create reminders, timelines, deadlines, and add comments. If you use a gantt or kanban type app to help with ADHD what do I need to know?

Today I was reminded that after a decade in the Army I went back to school and started in a non credit math class. Earned my 1st degree at 39. Just finished a master's at 51. You are not behind. And it's never too late to start.

Catching up on the Todd Blanche confirmation... he's committed to keeping the doj down to just 3 civil rights violations in a trenchcoat right?

Good Good it's gorgeous in NYC today. Get your ass outside.

You heard it here first — I officially meet all CUNY requirements to be conferred a master's degree in the field of biomedical engineering.

Are you f'n kidding me? The Primary Investigator's a woman and she knew exactly what was going down with the acronym — Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress. I can't even be mad, it feels like they're spelling out a solution 😬 www.cell.com/cancer-cell/...

OMG I just hatched such a fun idea for fall interns. We're totally going to misuse it for all the right reasons 😈

OMG I finally did it! Took everything out of Google photos and put it on my server hosting the Immich app.

Hey serious question why is Cory Booker cranking out other people's content over on Instagram? At least he's tagging them in the comments but I don't understand what he's doing other than follower farming.

Siri > Gemini

Today I successfully defended my master's thesis in biomedical engineering, please clap.

My focus is 💩 this week. I don't have ADHD and professionals agree. But weeks with compounding stress sure the fu¢k feel like it. I don't think enough people talk about the complexity of mental health.

Oh God my thesis defense was just announced. No turning back now. Thursday.

Hi Bluesky — Took a Sunday break for a hasty health hack highlights video. As I transition from grad school, I set up a custom feed to give me a short list of brand new research. This week I'm angry about garmin's unproductive name calling and David Goggins wannabes. youtube.com/shorts/Tr4d4...

Me: how can I possibly spend 30min talking about my thesis research Also me: great googly moogly I have 40 presentation slides what can I trim

Oooo NYC we about to get some rain.

Bday gifts are arriving. First up — a date. I'll be defending the thesis to my master's degree in biomedical engineering on Thursday.

FYI — friends don't let friends fall for Mitch McConnell propaganda.
