I admire your self-awareness 😂
Me on a normal day: I don't have enough clothes. I need to buy more. Me when moving to a new apartment: Why do I have so many clothes 😭 I can't put everything in my two suitcases 😭
He really deserves this
'Am I broke?' 😭
Not sure if those countries recognising Palestine as a state will help stop such atrocities...
🤣
There have been too many fake politicians in the US. I can't even tell who's been the fakest.
I find it too complicated. I was there for only two days and already felt tired, so I left and never go back there again.
It's sad to see China wasting tax payers' money on that in the disastrous economy
But it seems that I can't see the content of some servers?
For sharing work, maybe LinkedIn is still good. For sharing other things, no social media platform is as good as the old Twitter 😮💨
Her face is a mixture of Greta Thunberg and Mona Lisa
Mastodon separates people by forcing them to join different servers. Once a server is full, you can't join it or interact with people on that server. That's pretty annoying.
Just tried Threads. Pretty sure that's not a place to build communities. They don't have things like ChemSky, ChemTwitter, AcademicSky, AcademicTwitter, etc. 😕 I've already deleted my account there.
In most cases, I find my apartment too small. But when I'm deep cleaning my apartment, I find it too large.🤦♀️
I tried desloratadine recently. It's the 3rd gen but still made me drowsy😮💨
Our world needs more anti-AI art
I remember I saw a video in which Dua Lipa says she likes to put pickles in Coke
Why do these trees grow like this? 😮
A few months ago I moved from a place that suffers from deflation to a relatively normal place. Now I find I don't have the mental strength to accept the fact that my favourite cake here is 20% more expensive than a month ago.🤦♀️
And then I forgive them
I don't know why but whenever I see someone post online a photo I'm in, I always freak out for a few seconds...
Spending days searching for the things I need in the labs is crazy
🤣
There are not enough communities. We need to build more communities, online and offline. We need to make everyone feel connected and supported. #EarlyMorningThoughts
Yeah, that also made my day. It's such a wholesome hobby.
I just found out that my aunt keeps a list of birthdays of the pandas living in the Beijing Zoo. On each of these birthdays she and other panda fans go to the Beijing Zoo to celebrate...I didn't know a hobby like this exists😮
I've no idea if they're always lying to me or I'm built differently
Every time a medical doctor or a pharmacist tells me to take an antihistamine drug, I always ask them whether it'll make me drowsy, and they always say no, and I always trust them but then it always turns out the drug makes me drowsy🤦♀️ Today I trusted a pharmacist again & I fell asleep in my office😴
I really hate it when the heating is controlled by the apartment building, not by myself. These days it's only 8°C at night, but the admin of the building says they're not delivering heating until October.🙄
I guess low-income countries are doing even worse 😕
If it continues to be like this, maybe next year we're gonna see mass layoffs in this industry
I'm also pissed, but I'm now trying hard not to get emotional about this. Maybe he's trying to hide the fact that he doesn't have enough money.
This week is another frustrating week for me. All my colleagues are at a conference this week except me. My supervisor didn't even tell me about this conference. I'm trying not to overthink about it. Maybe he just doesn't have enough money to take everyone to the trip.
That's me every morning😆
Maybe it's AI generated text
When people use their anecdotal information to refute what statistical data has shown, I just want to roll my eyes and run away from the conversation...
You can correct it if you have a Wikipedia account
You've already done better than me. Amongst your '?'s I only know 11 is Delhi.
Nah, I prefer non-fictions about history and politics
Wow👍
I've just realised that all the books I've read this year are textbooks. But anyway, textbooks are fun sometimes.
Wow, how did they do that back in those days?!
It suddenly feels like Autumn 🍂
Found this old picture. This is from a pub quiz six years ago. Can anyone figure out all 27? #pubquiz
If you can work totally independently, then that's fine for you. I can't, though. I'm still new in my new job and I need people's help.
Wow, that sounds like a good way of organising work
It turns out I've been the only one here for the whole week 😮💨 So frustrating. I can't proceed with my work.
'Southeastern Europe' is making things more complicated 😂
I think culturally Greece feels like Southern Europe
It blows my mind when someone tells me Greece is in Eastern Europe. In my impression, Greece is in Southern Europe and never has the Eastern European vibe.
So how do you deal with that? Are you able to find like-minded people outside your college?
I feel nostalgic whenever I think of the student societies I joined during my PhD study. Now I'm no longer a student and no longer working at a university, so it's difficult for me to find like-minded people. I have to give up some of my hobbies, which can't be done alone. 💔
Yeah, 70% Twitter users are bots. Not sure about Threads.
I (and many other Bluesky users) used to think Bluesky could replace Twitter/X. But now let's forget about it. It's now simply a competition between Threads and Twitter/X. Bluesky is not catching up with either of them in the foreseeable future.
Instagram is not a place to build communities
I'm pretty sure not 'all the cool kids' moved to Bluesky. Some moved to LinkedIn or Threads.
Both #chemtwitter and #chemsky are dying
Maybe most chemists from Twitter have moved to LinkedIn? 🤔
😬
Good idea!
All my colleagues are on holiday and only I am working today 😭
I also find teletubbies ugly and scary
I've seen several labubus this weekend 😬 Why do people spend so much money on such ugly things 🤔
Having a picnic in the 30°C weather 🔥👏
I don't understand why windows in Europe don't have an insect mesh. Whenever I open the window in the summertime, everything out there flies/crawls into the room 🐝🪲🐛💀😬
The 32°C heat is nothing for me because the humidity is only 31%. I don't feel hot; I feel so calm.
OK, but still disgusting
Am I the only one who finds raspberry jam on fries and meatballs disgusting?
One big joy in this month is the fresh blueberries
Lol, my aunt messaged me and told me she saw two different squirrel species today in two different parks in Beijing. I love it when people show their enthusiasm for wildlife.
😡The whole world needs to know this
I also hate it. I hope someone can develop an AI bot to do it for me 😭
😮 Are they slowly evolving into homo sapiens?
It's difficult to avoid sauerkraut when you're travelling in central Europe 😅
Actually when you are using any fine power (not just silica gel) in the lab or anywhere, it's always a good idea to put on an N95 mask or something similar.
Are you using a VPN?
When people tell me they're 'overeducated', I'm not impressed. There are undereducated people for sure, but no one's overeducated - we need to keep learning in our life. Just because you have a PhD doesn't mean you should feel 'overeducated' and stop learning something new.
WTF😱 Anyway, this is the Trump era, so nothing's surprising...
Not all meltdowns are loud. Some happen in silence. In a locked jaw. A held breath. A fake smile. You keep it together - and your “strength” is praised. But inside? You’re breaking and no one sees it. Because internalized meltdowns don’t get support. They get ignored. Or worse - rewarded.
Words absolutely are violence. They cause trauma. They can lead to physical harm. They cause mental illnesses. They can kill people.
Yeah, Dengue has been there every summer
The situation is not getting better. People who live in mosquito-infested areas need to be careful.
These days some people use Google just to see the AI summarised information 😬
My phone is also full 🥲
Industry scientists don't think this way😉
I'm seeing more and more news like this😕 The huge amounts of CO2 emissions are set to cause more climate disasters...
Today on “How abhorrent can they get”… Like this makes mass starvation any better.
When I ask people about something and they just tell me to ask AI, I just wanna punch them in the face
I don't have Monday blues. I only have midweek blues.
Ah, I hate Wednesdays
Indeed! And Gemini is making things worse now
No idea. We need to get mentally prepared for that anyway.
A friend of mine who works at Google told me that no one in their company takes Google Scholar seriously
Poland is now getting more and more expensive
I'm planning a two-week trip but my bank account balance keeps telling me to think twice😭
I don't understand why many accounts on Instagram post just pictures of text. If they love text so much, why don't they just use Twitter or Bluesky?
They look annoyed😆
