@atwilliams.bsky.social wrote a very good sentence that basically sums up my entire life for the last three years: "There is nothing better than drinking unlimited coffee and trying to figure out what’s going on, in the broadest possible sense."

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Image of Charles Darwin quotes, with the recipient of the letter and the date the letter was written. He said "I hate every wave of the ocean" to W.D. Fox on 15 February 1836, "Oh my God how I do hate species and varieties" to J.D. Hooker in 11 March 1858, "I am very tired, very stomachy, and hate nearly the whole world" to Thomas Huxley on 10 September 1860, "I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything" to Charles Lyell on 1 October 1861, "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" to John Lubbock on 3 September 1862, and "I am languid and bedeviled and hate writing and hate everybody" to J.D. Hooker on 23 June 1863.

Happy birthday, Chuck. Proud to carry on your legacy of studying evolutionary biology while going through it

a picture of the gorgeous TOYO ST-350 cantilever toolbox in burnt orange - a classic steel toolbox with 1969 pedigree, there's something comforting and friendly in the shade of orange and the cantilever top design, you really feel like it would safely hold any number of tools or art supplies
