I'm getting burned out on reviewers that go "I wish this paper was an almost totally different paper." Well it's not. Review the paper in front of you, jackass.

Thoughts and prayers for my dog, he might be dying, because the wall clock says 5:30pm but his stomach clock says 6:30pm and he hasn't been fed.
This was a very topical Halloween costume back in 2011.
Do you ever type something out and then delete it because there's a very real chance it might get read at your trial? Just me?
A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.
My top surgeon was apparently supposed to read a script about regret rates but just said "we are only truly free if we are free to make choices we regret", which goes hard af and is also what I say whenever I order a sushi boat for 2 to eat in one sitting.
Starting to think that men around the world in democracies should perhaps not have the vote. I'd surrender my vote if it meant that the rest of my gender couldn't vote for fascism at every opportunity like it was 1932.
Hot take: Nate from "The Devil Wears Prada" gets too much hate and Nick from "Crazy Rich Asians" doesn't get enough hate. Wym you didn't tell your girlfriend of over a year one damn thing about your family before you flew her across the world to meet them?
Not trying to be rude but could everyone please stop asking "Is it perimenopause??" every time I describe a physical symptom. Especially you, men.
Student who did not attend my 8:30am Tests and Measurement class is here at Costco also getting groceries.
I just came across this paper by Cesario et al. that has one of the greatest titles ever: " journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Everyone, congratulate me: I went to a walk-in clinic to deal with something that I should have dealt with 2 weeks ago. Yes, there was a significant and pointless delay while I became increasingly miserable but at least I fucking did it eventually. Note: it is likely I will learn nothing from this.
I gave an academic librarian a problem he couldn't immediately solve this week and he was downright gleeful about the whole situation. "Make a librarian happy by puzzling them" is a bingo square you can check off, folks.
University IT guys of Bluesky: Are you REQUIRED to neg my choice of laptop model when I bring it in for "compliance issues" or is that just a personal choice? Asking for an enraged 40-something.
I pointed out that it was free to watch them lose at home instead of live but apparently, that's not part of the decision making in this case.

Always fun to see a bunch of fresh, new faces at the first midterm.
Local candidate for mayor of our town just alleged that council misspent money intended for roads on pickleball instead. Given the Venn diagram overlap between the demographics of A) pickleball players and B) municipal election voters...

There was a Pokémon pinball machine at the Costco today and Rosemary asked me it was. I told her and then started singing "Pinball Wizard" to her but she screamed so loud at me to stop that people were looking. I guess she's more of a "Teenage Wasteland" fan.
My 4 year old is playing with her Magnatiles. The horse is a daddy horse, the cow is a mummy cow. I asked her what the chicken was and she said "George". Behold, the three 3 genders: mummy, daddy, and George

Guys, I'm starting to lose it. I'm working on my SSHRC Insight application and I am 1/6 for Insight submissions. I'm looking at my most significant contributions document and I'm about to write "Gillian Anderson talked about my book on her podcast." Someone tell me this is a bad idea...
My 4 year old is clearly being taught some beginning meditation strategies at JK: "Breathe in, Mummy!" It's kind of annoying, but it will probably be good for everyone in the household in the long run.
Request! I am the advisor for a group at VU for women interested in psych. We are hosting a virtual event in October and are looking for speakers who could give a 15-20 minute talk on a panel about the psychology of crime. We are especially interested in work that involves women victims/offenders.
Got an email from a co-investigator about a SSHRC Insight submission where the PI asked everyone to validate their participation and literally said "This means you, Dana."

Mental health clinicians: "Let's endlessly debate all possible meanings of hugging a client and dogpile on anyone who questions the orthodoxy." My physiotherapist: "I'm going to strap my midsection to your hip using this seatbelt device and then I'm going to stick my butt out to create the stretch."
I'm thinking of going as "Work appropriate version of Britney Spears at the 2001 VMAs" for Halloween. Thoughts?
My husband asking me if the independent bookstore I am feuding with is aware they are in a feud with me... Like all my feuds, obviously not.
