Y'all check on your law school friends. The bar is soon they are not okay

[kaity--did]

Evidence: my husband forgot what day it was last week and I received a text that said "why the fuck did no one tell me it was Friday?"

[kaity--did]

T minus 6 days until the bar and my husband just walked in a circle around the house for 15 minutes yesterday saying "I do not know the things" and 'stop. Stop dying. Wills are too confusing everyone stop dying"

[kaity--did]

Update : " everyone just fucking stop owning things. property is stupid and no one understands it. just stop. move to the woods. be free. "

[kaity--did]

Oh dang y'all blew this up.

[kaity--did]

For those asking for updates on how the the bar has taken a toll on my husband yesterday a v minor inconvenience happened (he left the keys inside) and he stated "I demand to speak to an attorney"

And then like 20 minutes later he whispered very quietly to the point where I don't think he meant to say it out loud "aw dang I am attorney"

This post always comes round around this time and I want to wish all the baby law students taking the bar in February good luck! You got this!

[kaity--did]

It's that time of year again where this has started circulating! Good luck baby lawyers!

[kaity--did]

@caesarsaladinn I had a whole discussion with a history major who was extremely confident that smallpox is a “common childhood illness” with a very low death rate. Therefore, she believed that historical smallpox outbreaks were either massively exaggerated or used as a cover-up for something else (since “smallpox isn’t that bad.”) I eventually asked if she was possibly confusing smallpox with chickenpox, at which point she said, “aren’t they the same thing?”

[the-grey-tribe]

The English language really whiffed on that one. Should have called it largepox or at least regularsizepox.

[invisible-goats]

fun fact! syphilis was called "great pox" (great meaning big). scientists are still silent on regularsizepox

The cool thing about doing math professionally is that you can work anywhere - on your walks, in the shower, as you fall asleep - just by rotating problems in your head. What's not so cool is that this drives you insane

My people are called nehiyawak, in english we are called Cree.

Lately I've been feeling a strong pull to try and teach non Natives about my people's worldview and belief system. Things are hard and scary right now, a lot is changing in our world and there is so much change on the horizon.

I want all of you to know how loving, joyful, and kind my people are. I want you to know how much love and community is baked into our language and spiritual beliefs.

Normally questions about culture or spirit are what we call "tobacco questions", meaning that you need to bring an offering of tobacco to an elder or knowledge keeper in exchange for their teachings.

It's kind of hard to give someone tobacco over tumblr though.

So here is my plan:

I am going to do my best to explain some Cree concepts and cultural teachings to you, my tumblr friends. I will tag these posts with tobacco questions, and put them in my education and Cree culture tags.

I am no elder. But I am a connected nehiyaw with a deep love for my culture, and a deep love for you! In my life I am a cultural and crafts teacher, and I do have some knowledge to share. I hope that you will take time to read what I post.

Please take any information you read on the internet with a grain of salt, anonymous information can sometimes come with mistakes or outright lies. I am only one goofy little Cree, my knowledge is not the be all end all of Indigenous wisdom. There are some topics that are off limits to people outside our culture. I hope you will respect that.

As well, I plan to try and do some fundraising for people in need (including our relatives in Gaza) through answering the questions that I usually delete. I will have a post up for that soon.

Please take care of yourself, drink some water and try to get enough sleep! The world would not be the same without you in it.

apparently while I was coming out of anesthesia, they said I got to take a wisdom tooth home and I asked if this meant the tooth fairy would bring me a research grant 🥲

LibGuides: Research Basics: an open academic research skills course: Welcome

You're pretty good at searching here and there, but there's a lot more to academic research. This is why we put together this free, self-guided course!

Because three is the magic number (look it up!), the course is made up of three modules of three short lessons and three sets of practice quizzes. Try it try it try it!

There are four types of fish scales!

Cycloid scales are thin, overlap, and flexible. They're found on primitive teleosts (like minnows and carp).

Ctenoid scales have small, backwards pointed scales (known as cterns) make the fish more hydrodynamic and faster. They're found on Advanced Ctenoids (like perch and sunfish).

Ganoid scales are thick, diamond-shaped, and mostly non-overlapping. They're found on Chondrostei (like sturgeons and paddlefish).

Placoid scales are spikey and tooth-like with nerves. These are found on Chondrichthyes (like sharks and rays).

Another comparison of the two most promising varieties of fusion reactor, tokamaks and stellarators. I used to work on tokamaks and now I'm doing stellarators and let me tell you. It's been an adjustment.

there should honestly be a TA experience evaluation of instructors because there is no reason that a prof who has continuously ignored disabled grad students’ accommodations is still allowed to take TAs
