This post itself is aimed at advisors (official or not) and I think it’s totally reasonable and speaks to the service we try to pile on faculty, but lay off students in the replies. Entry-level jobs don’t exist & your dpt admits 1 every 14 years, of course the 21yo anxiety bomb wants to talk to you
Instagram keeps advertising the COOLEST clothing to me and then I click and it’s TODDLER SIZED but because I clicked I’ve VALIDATED THE ALGORITHM and then I get MORE TODDLER CLOTHING. Stop making ads without humans in them for scale and START making adorable matching sets for adults
Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for the future of the profession!
The person who has run my favorite fansite for 15 years is looking for remote work in the US; previously senior engineer and tech lead at an edtech nonprofit. I don't know this person other than using their tools every day but putting this here for more eyes. Link in reply

Right now, I'm especially interested in: consulting firms, especially with a focus in nonprofit; stewarding critical integrations long-term, like identity or payments; shifting to information security, or technical writing; Engineering management, for the right human-focused team"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:f4obdtap2xdezbn73lyo5dlu/bafkreidy6vdkuanclltgbfxtdr5uiwijrm62xo77kps2poz2sli37yrine@jpeg)
You know, I've never really known how that turned out, despite it being one of my favorite anecdotes
I didn't know the tarantula story until someone told it at her funeral. Apparently she used to go hunting for them by breaking into golf courses at night. Once a cop busted her and she convinced him to help her look for them.
I am nostalgic today because I saw some adorable tiger cubs on instagram from my brother's local zoo, and I'm trying to get him to revive a family tradition
(The answer is, it was just her toes because she wanted to retain freedom of movement in her fingers to get in and out of the pool. My grandfather, a physician, let her do this)
if you're going to understand who I am as a person, you have to know that this woman was my idol
