You heard me. And I think a lot of people on here agree with me. So I'm reading through papers with my fiancée tonight while she's grading. We flip over to the next one, and right away, we can tell it's AI; the words are too elegant for how terribly the formatting is, there are no in-text citations, there are DISTINCT and OBVIOUS font differences, and NONE of the DOIs for the bibliography are RE... » Continue Reading
I'm not sure if anyone else has had a similar experience, but having been of age for a few years and going to clubs, I've had wayyy better experiences at gay clubs than other ones. Here are the main reasons: - cover is always cheap af (one-time membership or >$10) PLUS free or very cheap coat check - very rarely is the music bad - no male and female bathrooms, just toilets and urinals - everyone ... » Continue Reading
The title basically says it all, but yeah. I want to be passionate about something again. I want to care about things again. It's at a point where everything that I used to be into (landscape design, sewing, school, etc.) just seems meaningless. Even with holidays, I honestly couldn't care. I think it's coming from a point of not having a bunch of extra money right now, but it still sucks. I can't... » Continue Reading
The night has been good Drinks strong Music loud Dances uncool. Someone asks for a break The alley, as crowded as the bar, beckons to me As the fag is lit and dragged, smoke enters my lungs I'm taken aback By the scent of Him The memories that surround Him The ways I was never enough: Too much. Too little. Too naive to think it could be me as I age That I would » Continue Reading
Once again, the title kinda gives it away, but yay! I talked with both my supervisor and the prof for the course and both of them brought up the extremely valid point of "why would there be competition if the roots (of the kochia) are already dead?" and to that I say, "yknow youre very correct." So yay! No need to restart or even pivot what im doing. During the meeting, they also pointed some thi... » Continue Reading
hi diddily hi ho neightbour-roony! So yea, the title basically explains it all, but here's the full story: Wednesday I went to measure my plants and actually found that something was happening! The height of the corn was being negatively affected only when it was growing with the roots, the height of kochia was being negatively affected only when it was grown with the roots and shoots, and there w... » Continue Reading
Oh boy, it has been a while since I posted one of these. Over the last little bit (a few months), my project has officially-officially started. The prep work went well; from the pre-grown Kochia, I was able to get enough above- and below-ground biomass to plant out the actual experiment. For anyone who didn't read the previous post on this topic, I am conducting my undergraduate research thesis ... » Continue Reading
I've decided I'm going to start using this as a means to keep track of some of the work I'm doing for my undergrad thesis. Sometimes when I talk about it, I feel like I sound pretentious and like a know-it-all when I just want to talk about it because it's interesting! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Research Question: Does kochia ( Bassia scoparia ) have (auto)allelo... » Continue Reading
Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited to be able to do research on something that actually interests me. But like, my supervisor? GORL first and foremost, SHE'S NOT A PROF AND BARELY AN INSTRUCTOR! The first time we met up to talk about the topic, she was like "yeah, you're like the second student I've ever supervised hehe" and I'm like "???" WHY WOULD THEY PUT ME WITH YOU TF! Secondly, she mostl... » Continue Reading

I've known I was somewhere on the non-binary spectrum for many, MANY years now, but still haven't really taken any steps to actually do anything about it. Like my friends know, my fiance knows, and I'm pretty sure lots of other people know, it's just none of them do anything about it either. I was raised in a place where things like gender and sexuality aren't really discussed at all, and if they ... » Continue Reading
Does anyone else feel like choosing a future job/career is stupidly difficult? Like, I think I know what I want to do and I know what I like, but then another opportunity comes up and I'm back at square one. One day owning a business sounds like the most freeing way to make money, and the next I just want to be a mindless drone and make what I can that way. Not to mention the million different ... » Continue Reading
