My cat is basically my remaining coping skill. And he causes a lot of chaos so tbh not sure he counts as coping. #catsofBluesky #academiccats

An orange cat pokes his head around a laptop with a word doc on the screen. He has his paw on the screen and his face is upside down.

Scout heard about the orcas using salmon as hats and was jealous that the trend started without him. He also doesn’t know what a salmon actually IS but he is committed to fashion. So he got creative with this artful hay fascinator that may inspire a wave of copycats within equine society.

I really love how kind and engaging people are here. So many neat conversations happening. Shoutout to @drcompton.bsky.social for getting me back in this space and shoutout to the blocking features. I missed having a place to share research AND advocacy AND fun things #sociologysky #academiccats

Do research and use my degree in my current job, though, so I’m happy my career plan shifted. Here’s a bonus Charlie. He is indeed very himbo I’m so glad to start interacting with more people over here!! Thanks for starting the introduction thread ☺️ 2/2

I’m Katie! I got my PhD in sociology and work alt-ac, but am interested in education, organizations, mental health, and inequality. More importantly, this is Charlie! He is very sweet and doesn’t really have thoughts, just occasional tumbleweeds. I’m so glad things are picking up here
