Billy, the music loving dog is taken to the music hall filled with musicians practicing and listens for the sound that pleases him the most. It’s the cello. 🎻 He lays down basking in the waves of sounds he chose out of all the others. Music is the universal language. #DogsofBluesky #MusicSky
First time flying out of Billy Bishop and gotta say - Toronto is one pretty city. CN Tower in the sun, sandy beaches on the islands with azure blue lake waters, fell in love with it all over again. Feeling very validated that I chose this amazing place to call home! 🇨🇦❤️

Jennifer Kretchmer@dreamwisp.bsky.social · last wk.While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

I didn't know I needed to read this, but it explains why I felt especially adrift after my layoff last year and then a new layer of burned out for months afterwards. I really tried to help others through my reporting at my job. I felt immense grief. But I can still help other people in other ways.
Monteiro@monteiro.bsky.social · 2w agoHere’s your Saturday morning read: “We’re all familiar with the Mister Rogers ‘look for the helpers’ talk. But it’s worth remembering that Mister Rogers was talking to children when he said that. And we’re no longer children.” buttondown.com/monteiro/arc...
Georgian Bay along the Bruce Peninsula and along the Parry Sound/Killbear area is the freshwater Mediterranean. Maybe a bit chillier water but it feels like Mallorca.

After years of confusion at the Bloor UP Express station, I left myself a trail of stickers to get me to the right train. Then I investigated to figure out what makes the station so confusing. Top problem: they use an airplane symbol to mean "train." open.substack.com/pub/sharikas...

It hasn't been too long since I left the lab and somehow this doesn't sit very easily. It feels like it was just yesterday that I was patching interneurons and discussing projections and inhibitory engrams in his office. Somehow we all thought the science would sustain him forever

Great advice for an academic jobs as well! Rejection and criticism is constant but it helps to remind yourself "That’s what I do, that’s not what I am".

My fantasy vacation at this point in my middle age is "Going somewhere and no one wants anything or asks me to do anything." Legit just, buffet meals, endless coffees, only ?'s asked of me are "Would you like a mojito or pina colada."
death is so so weird one minute they were there all the time the next they're just not but everything else looks the same and you spend half your time wondering if you're crazy and imagined them being there all along
