I’m a biologist.
I consult scientists (GIS experts and climate experts) in the geography department at a prestigious-as-fuck university A LOT and they’re in demand.
but carry on.

You realize that most climate change studies emanate from geography departments right? And that geographers frequently collaborate with sociology, anthropology, archaeology and history departments on digs and archival research? And that Trevor Paglen, a geographer in the UC system, was the first person to use long…

I took a geography course in college, it’s a legitimate science that has a lot more to it than memorizing state capitals.

I teach college and Toms are the shoe du jour for all of my students; there are few things sadder than a midthirties professor dressed just like her 18-year-old students.

Sheeran can always add to it once he finds that special someone...

I know it’s only a littl bit of electronics, but it depresses me that Americans are so shitty, and can’t come together to do a simple, fun experiment without destroying something.

Interests and opinions!? Silly woman, don’t you understand he has miles and rewards from work? You can’t buy that kind of romance. (but your employer can)

I was actually, hilariously, picturing a church wedding. I love this. I want to meet this woman sooooo badly, she sounds amazing.

she can pick up her baller status card at any local baller status registry.

This study doesn't even include the government's biggest giveaway to low-wage employers, which is the Earned Income Tax Credit. It's something like a $65 billion subsidy to employers who pay a low wage. Not that I think it's a bad idea— just, for it not to be a subsidy, it needs to be combined with a high minimum…

This kind of dreck is, sadly, pretty much par for XOJane : ignorant yoofs with their heads up their own asses Going On About A Thing. I tried reading it for a while, and every day was a new adventure in graduate-level dipshittery.
