Happy Thanksgiving (the correct one) to my fellow Canadians 🦃 May your dinner be delicious and your second helpings entirely unjudged!

Heard someone describe my favourite book as the “world’s longest eulogy” and while not entirely inaccurate I might still be offended 😆

The look of pure betrayal on a student's face today when I told her "assume air resistance is negligible" is a temporary lie we tell to protect their feelings

Finally reading The Strength of the Few after being recommended the first book last fall. If you don’t hear from me in the next 48 hours, don’t bother sending help.

Up at the cottage this weekend and it is inexplicably COLD, so all my mismatched layers have me looking like a laundry pile come to life. Fashion, dahling ✨

If my Coke Zero has no calories and no caffeine, it’s basically water, meaning my six cans a day are actually peak hydration. Trust me, I’m a scientist.* *astrophysicist with zero biology credentials

What do you mean studying the setlist for a concert in order to maximize enjoyment isn’t normal human behaviour? Everything’s an optimization problem if you’re neurotic enough.

Ahhh I am so excited for this! I absolutely loved The End of Everything, and my astrophysics nerd heart can’t wait for more!

If you’re ever struggling to find the motivation to clean your house, just accidentally set off a fire extinguisher so you’re forced to clean EVERYTHING 🤦‍♀️ Follow for more expert life tips!

As a follow up, I am far too nice and need to stop letting these kids have second chances on their missed tests 🤦‍♀️ I just don’t want to give half the class zeroes……

Nothing demonstrates how easily I could have a gambling problem than Roll Up The Rim… So far I have won 22 coffees, 6 donuts, and 4 free subscription / reward codes to various places. I am ADDICTED.

I’ve been wearing glasses at work lately (because I stare at screens for so long and it strains my eyes) and I feel like I have unlocked a new level of nerd aesthetic I didn’t know I was missing in my life 🤓

I don’t have ADHD but I’ve 100% done this during a hypomanic episode… On more than one occasion 😅

Don't mind me, I just got really excited about an idea, worked on it for 12 hours straight, forgot to eat or go to the bathroom, then woke up the next morning to find the passion is gone and now I'm leaving it untouched for the rest of time. What? Do I have ADHD? ...yeah... why do you ask?

You are up to date.
