Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
Image of Charles Darwin quotes, with the recipient of the letter and the date the letter was written. He said "I hate every wave of the ocean" to W.D. Fox on 15 February 1836, "Oh my God how I do hate species and varieties" to J.D. Hooker in 11 March 1858, "I am very tired, very stomachy, and hate nearly the whole world" to Thomas Huxley on 10 September 1860, "I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything" to Charles Lyell on 1 October 1861, "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" to John Lubbock on 3 September 1862, and "I am languid and bedeviled and hate writing and hate everybody" to J.D. Hooker on 23 June 1863.

Zohran Mamdani’s transformative child care plan builds on a history of NYC social innovations
Mamdani’s child care plans could set an example for other policymakers to follow, as Democratic and Republican voters say child care costs are a major problem.

Very cool to see authors of this article mentioning the importance of sharing project-, data-, AND variable-level documentation alongside data in a repository, and linking to the templates I've provided on OSF as an example! 🌟 doi.org/10.1515/ling...

I have resigned myself to the reality that I see multiple aspects of academic science through a very different veil or perspective than others and TBQH, I think it just means I have to be much more judicious with my time and interactions.

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions
Pie chart:
74% hydrogen
25% helium
1% other (in tiny font)

If you're thinking of not including unpublished studies in your systematic review because they haven't been subjected to rigorous peer review, I have some potentially distressing news for you about a large proportion of published studies. #academicsky
