This is my 5th pregnancy (in 6.5 years) and every week, when I prepare my schedule for the upcoming week, I keep ignoring past me who was always so tired and unfocused at any point in her pregnancy. Forgetfulness is the reason we survive but also burn out.

Interview work: Most days are hard (why won’t they talk to me?). Many days involve self-doubt (maybe I’m doing it all wrong). Some days are great (that interview was illuminating!!). And a few days are bold (sure, I’ll reach out directly to the leader of that huge organization, they might answer).

I used to love going out for a run while listening to news podcasts. These last few weeks though I’ve only wanted to run indoors while watching Netflix. One reason is I don’t want to slip on the icy sidewalks. The other one is I really don’t want to listen to more news about our Southern neighbour.

How my 3 yo remembers that ride: there was a driver and he had no hair. I think he put it in the garbage. I am def using that example in class to talk about how diverse frames produce very different understandings of a same situation.

In their defence, it would take me forever to write an email to a professor at the start of my PhD, to find the right words and tone in formal writing in my second language. But I would re-read the draft so many times that I don’t think I would have missed the header had I had access to and used AI!

How is my pregnancy going? For several days I’ve been sending my children to their respective school and daycare with a pair of left-hand mittens of different sizes for one and a pair of right-hand mittens of different sizes for the other. So, not great?

And what might happen beyond global civil society? Big donors are also involved in international institutions. Might their message change too to maintain funding? The power of billionaires goes beyond money. They have a message, an audience, and they are well-positioned in the structure.

Bill Gates is an important actor of climate philanthropy and it’s important to consider the effects of that message shift on global climate governance. Many NGOs have included climate in their framing of projects to attract funding. Is this likely to change in the coming years?

@ryankatzrosene.bsky.social makes an interesting argument on Bill Gates’ position shift on climate change in @theconversation.com: as climate politics is so sensitive to framing, how should we, as scientists, frame our message? theconversation.com/why-bill-gat...
theconversation.com
Why Bill Gates’ climate memo is being celebrated by skeptics while frustrating scientists
Gates recently called for a ‘strategic pivot’ in climate strategy. That appears to have hit a nerve.

My day started at 4.30 am because my kid was done sleeping. On the one day I’m allowed to “sleep in“. I’d argue this is less exciting than a trip to Manitoba, although I must say I’ve never been.

Yes! Also, being recognized at a smaller institution might offer students more support than being just another student at a prestigious university. Eventually that support might be more helpful than the name of the prestigious university.

Everybody agrees we have big global problems to solve, meanwhile BigTech is selling us AI glasses to help us figure out what to wear if it’s chilly outside. Because ultimately that‘s what most tech does: marginally improve our day-to-day and distract us from what could improve it significantly.

Yes! Then if you do miscarry they will tell you that has nothing to do with anything you did. Which I’m sure is true, yet it’s v. hard to think that way when you’re constantly told you shouldn’t eat this, take those drugs or use that face cream because we don’t know their effects on pregnancy…

A common response to pregnancy (i.e. pushing through) is not necessarily a good one. And certainly not a necessary one.
030
Marielle Papin @mariellepm.bsky.social · 13/10/2025
As if something that happens to many people can’t be that hard or deserving of special circumstances. Actually, you should not only push through, but keep it to yourself. Because what if you miscarry and you told all those people? Then they would have to know about your miscarriage too...
