One way or another, I'm within a couple months of the end of my PhD program. I've started tentatively poking around the job market, & wildlife positions are few and far between in Saskatchewan, it seems...but if there is anyone out there looking to hire soon, let a girl know! I have 9+ years of bear experience (general focus on mammals/carnivores), 6+ years of camera trapping experience (familiar w/ large databases), 2+ years small animal handling...

Remember when the Panama Papers came out? Remember that it evidenced a global network of tax-dodging, wealth-hoarding, criminal activity by the super-rich? Remember how literally nothing happened?

"Someone is wrong on the Internet" but hey-- life is short and there's an awful lot of wrong.

How do we prioritize where to target our flying fingers?

In our camp we're chronically short of time and struggle with this. Here's a ray of hope.

Ars Technica's John Timmer offers a quick and easy method for assessing "is this person worth my time of day (or night)?"

Timmer employs George Will's pernicious climate commentary as an case example of rating.

82-year-old German Reinhard Kleine spent all his savings, €25,000, on an ambulance for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He drove the vehicle from Berlin to Kyiv himself. Now it will save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers in the Bakhmut direction.

"I know that Ukraine really needs support now. So, I don't feel sorry for this money, even though I spent everything I had," says Reinhard Kleine.

The mayor of #Bochum towards the end of the 19th century fought for years to keep the streetlights off when the #moon was up, because it's a waste of electricity when free illumination is available from #nature.

The moon is not rising high now, but in the nights following tomorrows #FullMoon, the moon will reach high in the sky (in Europe). Go to an unlit park, and check out how well you can see!

STOP DOING ML

My ideal person isn't some hypothetical man I want to meet, it's someone I hope to become: a woman who knows what she wants and is confident enough to express those needs and desires to those around me. Someone who has healthy boundaries that she’s able to articulate and hold firm. Someone who spends less time trying to impress men and more time pleasing herself.

wyjątkowo dobre bezchmurne wieczory mamy ostatnio w #Kraków - tak więc zapraszam i dziś wieczorem na #UlicznaAstronomia pod Wawelem

jedyna zmiana względem wtorku jest taka, że Księżyc jeszcze bardziej w pełni jest 🌕, ale zbliża się do Jowisza, więc podczas patrzenia na Saturn 🪐 nie będzie już tak razić w oczy 😅

tradycyjnie dziś jakoś po 20:coś, na tarasie al. Gwiazd, "wszystko tak samo" jak ostatnio: https://solarsystem.social/@astrominik/111130180072745230

ja: czekam aż Windows mnie rozpozna z twarzy i odblokuje pracowego laptopa

też ja: trzymam w zębach wielkie jabłko, bo ręce mam zajęte odblokowywaniem drugiego pracowego kompa

My mum would spend hours ironing clothes when I was a kid. I dont think I’ve ever seen an ironing board at any of my friends houses. A whole generation just said “fuck ironing” and we did. Good work everyone.
