the directions for my third year review specify that I do not need to include any metrics for conference presentations, but the very concept of conference presentation metrics is funny to me. It’d just be like: I created 96 slides for my 15 minute presentation. People laughed at 87% of my jokes.

@pmckelveyphd.bsky.social and I volunteer to write an episode that weaves together all these plotlines and also it ends with Snowball cuddling with Sister Peg, neither of whom died
I can’t believe that SVU brought back Henry (rip Snowball!) TWO times and yet there has been NO follow up on 1) the intersex twins, 2) the trans kids who stole hormones from a warehouse, 3) LesBeReal
