In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind, my friends. Try to be more kind.

Oh nooo, not an experience you'd need, I don't think! Hope you feel better soon.

Was looking for a rather specific travel guide book (which may be too specific and not exist, actually) and was confronted for the first time with the absolute flood of random-ass AI books on Amazon these days. Backed away so fucking fast. #Enshittification

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

All excellent suggestions. I went with blacking out and booking a vacation, lol. That helped a bit. (Accidentally perfect gif find is accidentally perfect. I was literally just searching for something with mountains...)

Not to be like that, but god, this Covid thing is boring as hell. I basically feel fine again (some coughing and sniffles, nothing to write home about, no doubt thanks to countless vaccines), but still testing sooo positive. I am going a little stir-crazy over here. 🫠

Dani @placebo-effekt.bsky.social · 23/11/2025
That is also very rude - hope you feel better soon!! Yeah, I hope the booster already had a chance to start doing it's thing. So far, it only feels like a fairly mild cold, so that's a promising start.

Thank you!! The job situation was getting a little stressy (current contract ends 31 December), so this is truly ideal.

I won a junior research group grant (this program: www.dfg.de/en/research-...). So I can employ myself for six years, plus three PhD candidates and two student assistants. 💃

Here's to a life hack that really probably does not apply outside of academia: when the job market is shitty, just go forth and create your own position (along with several others). In related news, I just got the biggest achievement of my professional life to date. Cheers!

I don't want to jinx it, but it's looking like my needing to find a job woes may completely evaporate in the best possible way. Will take any crossed limbs for the next 4-6 weeks to ensure that this option really materializes.

Thanks. Yeah, we're giving it six month to shrink on its own (unless it becomes too painful in the meantime). If it doesn't or gets even bigger, unfortunately at least temporary hormone treatment looks unavoidable. Surgery as a last resort. 🫥

So sick of these buggers acting as if they're running the show here. 😬 (Also hi!! Hope you are well and will enjoy your weekend with your secret visitor. 😘)

The "good" news is that my ovary is so glued to its neighboring organs from the Endo that the chances of ovarian torsion - the main risk of cysts this size - are slim to none, since it physically can't move, lol. Silver linings. 🫠

Dani @placebo-effekt.bsky.social · 26/09/2025
Lads, my gut instinct was right and my overactive ovaries have produced another large (5ish cm) cyst. 😬 It's a hybrid model (half Endo, half functional cyst), so there is hope that my body may be able to resolve at least part of it without intervention. But JFC, this is getting annoying.

This is Taco. He is the most relaxed little guy in the world. Mostly because he does not know about emails or the economy, but shoulder rubs help too. 13/10 (IG: tacofoxyhuahua)

After I took the photo, I was watching our downstairs neighbor watering his little garden and when he went inside, he literally waved at the fox, lol. Absolute star of the neighborhood.

Backyard fox 🦊 documentation, as seen from the balcony, for @aldiwitch.bsky.social. He has a bum leg, but otherwise is living his best life rooting around the garbage. 😁
