Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 09/10/2026We used to have so much fun taking my parents to new restaurants and introducing them to new foods, but now every meal together feels like a gauntlet of what everyone can/can't eat. 0120
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My parents are fully indulging their EDs (GLP-1 for mom, restriction/overexercise for dad). They're so proud of how "healthy" [thin] they are, with absolutely no recognition of how harmful losing that much muscle is for people in their 70's. 1160
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 09/10/2026So much press about how GLP-1s can quiet "food noise" but the only noise I need quieted is the noise about GLP-1s! 091
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 09/10/2026When I started therapy 3 years ago I felt like I was past the hardest part of body issues, and it wasn't something that needed to come up. Now it's a regular weekly topic. 091
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Oh I'm going on vacation soon and need to go shopping, this makes me a bit hopeful about my chances for success! 120
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Adobe wants to give me an AI summary of a long document... it's sheet music 000
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 02/10/2026My office- flat funded for years, no raises, hugely strapped for cash- pays tons of money for software that we don't need because the freeware versions are better. It took 3 years after we switched to R for anyone to cancel the SAS subscription. 010
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 02/10/2026As someone who hates change, the worst are "updates" that unnecessarily change the UI. Even so, I used ImageJ so much for my dissertation work that I just got a little panic from seeing it. 100
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 30/09/2026We had this same conversation when the US invaded Afghanistan and then Iraq. Is there no institutional memory? 011
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 22/09/2026How else are we going to know who's a very big boy if they don't carry guns? 010
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Finally finally got these things out for a maiden voyage 020
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 14/09/2026By the time I get to the library or library website, I'm either putting a book on hold that I'm already interested in (not looking at library reviews) or I'm browsing and fully judging on summary and/or cover (not looking at library reviews). 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I saw King Lear a couple of weeks ago and I cannot stop thinking about the insult "an eater of broken meats" 000
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 07/09/2026We'll see how much my husband loves me, I just put them on his shopping list for today 000
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Oh no those pumpkins are my favorite candy! Maybe it's better for me, I can't really justify $2 for something that is, in fact, objectively mediocre but I love anyway 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 05/09/2026We were involved in a totally different giant settlement that involved a ton of people, and the number of scams and scammers that came out to play was shocking. 050
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 05/09/2026For the fully ignorant (myself) is there some kind of gold standard certification I should look for? I imagine there are lots of fly-by-night type certs that don't actually indicate proficiency. 000
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I either saw three separate cybertrucks today or there's one that's stalking me and I don't like either of those options. 000
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 03/09/2026*Maybe* some people should use it more, but plenty of people should be using it less. 000
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 03/09/2026You have to stay away from those people. Who knows what's contagious in this day and age! 110

Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Have you seen the "Marx was right/Eat tofu" posters? 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 31/08/2026However if I were still in the dating pool I'd try out that panting thing my cat does to smell pheromones. Do you think guys would be into that? 100
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 31/08/2026This is just one more example of dudes doing absolutely anything to attract women except the things that are attractive to women 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Botanists have a different word for every single petal on a flower but they're going to borrow just that word from mammals? NO. 010
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 22/08/2026We should have just gotten him Sims in 2014 and all this could have been avoided 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The very fact that we're having this discussion shows that New Jersey is a place savage beyond all reckoning. 000
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 21/08/2026On further discussion, it may be that she's never had a burrito, never had a tamale, or never had either. 100
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I'm reading Prospero next week, there are worse places to practice! 000
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I think if I didn't have to work I wouldn't pretend to work? I might just do other stuff with my time? 100
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 20/08/2026My MIL believes I don't actually have a job and that I just pretend go to work 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Welcome to my regular condition. Get comfortable and be ready to say "what the fuck" at least 100x/day 111
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I'm a biologist and statistician; my default state is being annoyed at journalists and laypeople pretending expertise about things they know nothing about. 040
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I love this poem. We're doing a Powell's trip next week so I'm adding him to my shopping list. 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 09/08/2026All I'm going to say is that bio students need someplace to process and store samples and a kitchen isn't that different from a lab 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Lost a coworker to suicide yesterday. Having a lot of feelings about it. 000
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Also a 2013 Honda Fit (manual) driver and I am leaning more and more to never giving it up. I don't want a car that requires a subscription, I don't want a car that tracks me, and now I have to worry about ads too? F all that noise. 100
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I want to know so much more about the holes in this man's knowledge 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I cannot express the level of indignity I feel when I have to ask for directions to the "Safeway Breast Center" to get my mammogram. 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 04/08/2026And that kind of failing up has traditionally been reserved for men; it's so nice to see a woman finally breaking that glass ceiling. 010
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Agreed. I'm not opposed to any sort of deal- I think there are a lot of potential win-win scenarios- but what they're demanding a) isn't standard, it would be the worst deal for any NBA city which is b) is weird given that they're negotiating like they're hot shots when they actually suck 110
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 30/07/2026It's not a thing that's happened on any scale in the US, but I'm interested if whether a stronger baseline acceptance of the premise of climate change will affect that. 010
Erin Cooper @drerin-e-c.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I'd like to know what he did to whoever OK'ed that photo because it had to have been pretty bad 010
