@quasifrodo TAKE ALL THE JUSTIFICATION! *Especially* your students appreciate it! The amount of feedback I get from my students just about the fact that I talk to them like people in seminars, rather than talk AT them and how rare that is in their experience is just so terrifying! Students want to be engaged! So do other scientists!

@gaymanifold I do mention that later - it's a by product of the devaluing of the humanities by far too many corners of STEM.

I also really like how posting is called "toot". I like to free right as a form of intellectual diarrhea so it's only expected that a constrained version of that is called a toot.
I struggle with two conflicting ideals and this is probably in part because I've not been on social media since FB was a new thing. On the one hand I want to keep myself anonymous, on the other I want to share my experiences as a person and in particular as a person in science, my thoughts and critiques of scientific field etc.
The former ideal constraints the latter. There's always the thought in my head whether the aggregation of things I write here could be traced back to me. Frankly, the later ideal forces the former too in a sense. Among other things one reason I want to stay anonymous is to shield myself from backlash.
I'll see how I handle this conflict. Right now this thought is just out there.
