Thank you! I just had sitting at my desk karaoke! This more than makes up for the shit yesterday that got stuck in my head just from the headline

that's quite the recommendation then, thanks!

The CBT that helped most for me was mostly about task and time management, learning to prioritize, how to say no, and so on. The tools I'm working on now are things like stopping my monkey-brain and finding productive ways to deal with anxiety, and also how to manage the volume of reading expected at grad level. I…

Sooooooo..... any Cornell grad students/former grad students hanging around who can tell me about their experiences there? It's the only US school I'm considering at this point and don't want to deal with the GRE if everything good I've heard is a pack of lies, especially on the funding and post-grad job prospects…

Samesies. An article that should have been done by August at latest is still not even at what I would call enough of a draft to send to a reader for feedback. I think the best advice I've gotten, and that I need to start taking myself again, is to just start. Just sit down and start. Even if you only get in 15 minutes…

I did lots and lots of CBT to help with the more practical things, and lots of exercise to help with the focus, and lots of... I guess getting older to help with the perspective and self-knowledge, and got the hell off my meds as fast as I could. On my meds, I got shit done, I was responsible, I was a grown-up, I was…

Right? Like, I'm almost as sad that we're raising people to not respect reading as I am that we're raising men to not respect women.

Not really - our cops have a very bad rep for dealing with those they suspect to be mentally ill in the absence of overtly violent actions (and even if there is violence, their track record is... less than propotionate), so the ones who listen to their commanders take a very restrained approach. Especially in that…

True story 1:

This. And I'll do you one better: I went into a new, all-vegan place today, and got very excited when I saw gluten-free bread options for the burgers, when it occurred to me to ask about what brand of GF rolls they were using for that since I've never in six years been able to find any that are both vegan and GF. The…

I truly cannot wait to write the conference abstract

This is just... this is the second most fucked-up thing I've encountered this weekend. They actually did this? And Khloe still talks to them? And someone went ahead and aired it?

The one where they have the WHAT contest?!

I'm actually looking for a way to work Scott Disick into this paper, so if there's an episode or two in particular you think is noteworthy, I'd be interested to hear about it

Totally reposting from yesterday, I think I got here too late for the secret Kim K fans:

Expecto infantum!

I mean, even his name smacks of Harry Potter villainery. It would be comical if it weren't true.

Ok, this is super awkward, and I promise not to judge anyone who responds if you promise not to judge me for asking, but: I'm looking for a binge-watching guide to Keeping Up With the Kardashians, as well as any Kim-centred spinoffs. I swear, it's legit academic research, but I really don't need to watch every episode…

Every single day I get desperate and stick my *4S* down my bra - even that one is too big to securely stay in a pants pocket while biking. Or even while walking further than the corner. Luckily one of my boobs is just slightly smaller than the other, leaving exactly enough room in the cup for that, and as a bonus, my…

This is exactly the video I will use to teach people to turn their goddamn motherfucking phones fucking sideways. Thank you.
