Woooo! I made a new sketch of THEM. In my mind they are young here, and Ada doesn’t wear glasses yet. Maybe they’re recently graduated from school

Anyway it was really fun scribbling this out, it’s nice seeing the growth I have made, and I am still obsessed with Hecate Hardbroom. That is all.

Random PhD thoughts during crunch time and the looming realisation I’m probs gonna miss my deadline, and am seriously contemplating applying for a faecal science postdoc cos I’m pro at handling sh*t. And here are my pros and cons

Pros

0. I like trees

Cons:

1. Post docs treat me like cheap labour . I have let one of them down from leaving/ graduating

2. I don’t have a final chapter yet, or anything groundbreaking. Might freestyle

3. Still repeating experiments since they’re not statistically significant. They won’t ever be!

4. I am still working at the hellish hospital so need to be a fake surgeon until like September.

5. I have a student who won’t do work unsupervised

6. I haven’t taken a holiday in about a year.

7. Working 12+ hours and ending with a migraine is the new norm. Take paracetamol and quit whining

8. They come round hourly to check if I’m present and correct at my desk. Present and correct 🫡

9. There’s no air con or windows which open. Is this why I get migraines?

10. Academic job applications want me to brag about how amazing I am at working with no life - mmmmmm the dream

11. Since AI is a thing I am given less time to write as I CAN JUST USE CHAT GPT GOSH I DID NOT THINK OF THAT.

12. Fry brain every day from thinking

13. No personal items on desk any time. PUT THAT PET PHOTO AWAY and think about minimalism.

Pass the pineapples amongst you for 15 seconds while the Taskmaster shuts his eyes and has a little think. When the Taskmaster opens his eyes, he will say if he thinks you are holding a pineapple behind your back or not. If he accuses you wrongly, you will get a point.

LIVE TASK: Greg Davies vs. Susan 'RADA' Wokoma

+ bonus, the celebration of the Sues

[leupagus]

Davies: Three years in RADA?

Wokoma: Whole three.

Davies: How much did RADA cost you for three years?

Wokoma: Thirty grand's worth, yeah.

Davies: Thirty grand for what we're about to see, yeah?

Wokoma: Yeah. Just you wait!

#the moment that I #(and I'm willing to bet Davies) #fell hopelessly in love with Susan RADA Wokoma #your time starts now motherfuckers (@leupagus)

Every time I forget how much I like The Worst Witch, or say I’m sad, I need someone to throw a potato at my head and tell me to stop being so silly and give it a rewatch.

[friedaaaaaaargh]

I’ve just had to brag on a job application about how many hours I can work outside of normal working hours. Massive red flag if I’ve ever seen one.
