I don't care for boxing but I don't mind watching Andrew Tate getting punched in the face.

I’m in a shopping mall. Two weeks before Christmas. Or as Dante called it: Hell.

It will never not bug me that they let a guy named Wormtongue be the king’s advisor. Maybe the books explain how it happened but otherwise… #tolkien

Soo... ol' Donny is going to Alaska so Putler can show him the #peetape again?

Det här är sjukt. Jag vill ju inte ens att arbetsgiven ska veta hur mycket jag dricker på arbetstid.
Chefen får veta om du dricker mycket alkohol på fritiden – juridisk expert: ”Det här är olagligt”
Allt fler arbetsgivare i Finland låter testa sina anställda för långvarigt alkoholbruk genom ett så kallat PEth-test – trots att det inte är tillåtet.

Ask wife why she’s watching depressing af Finnish slice-of-life show and she tells me it’s a comedy. I will never understand my country.

And now that take home exam is finished and submitted. It was a small thing, compared to everything else that needs to be done, but also small victories deserve to be celebrated. #PhDSky

Deadline for take home exam is April 1. Started writing on March 1. I'm halfway through the first question out of three and I'm absolutely loathing it.

Doing research procrastination. Meaning: rearranging and cleaning bookshelves so I can more easily find the intimidating tomes. #PhDSky

Can't help it, but I do tend to enjoy reading the inter-personal shitslinging in academic texts. The "yeah, well YOU're stupid!" written out as "so and so's theory embodies the error in its crudest form". Suits you sir, suits you! #PhDSky

Rereading Stoner. Loving it. Ok #Booksky - what are your favourite campus novels?

Drafting a research timetable and sprinkling it with various deadlines. Screw you, future me! You're going to be so mad at me. #PhDSky

First lecture as a PhD student!

Did I bring my laptop? Yes.

Did I bring a charger? Alas, no.

Is my handwriting legible? Debatable.

Let’s goooooo
