Reading this, I wonder if quitting is the right thing do to. It could be, but it also might not be. How do you plan to reintegrate into work after quitting? What is the plan beyond quitting? I also wonder what you have done to address anxie

As an aphantasic myself I found this a really relatable read. I too had been very creative up until my teen years and then just sort of stopped, also in favour of hard science. Where I had once been able to draw freely whatever I liked, I s

I use Soundcloud in addition to Spotify because Soundcloud connects with rekordbox. I’m not sure about queueing, but it has more music on it from less well known artists, and you can also upload your own. I think it just makes music a more

I think suicide prevention programs are well intentioned, but a lot of them do seem to be just lip service of well-intentioned people who don’t really know what they’re doing, or alternatively, are trying there best, but are the ambulance a

I have Zotero and don’t use it because I do my research better myself without it and it annoys me when Zotero does a reference incorrectly and then I have to go back and fix it. Irritating. I’d rather just do it correctly myself once and th
