I'm very much looking forward to sharing this research and to the discussions that will follow. 🌿📜🎶

It's only shortly past 8 in the morning, but I need to #vent.
I just overheard a new #tenure track assistant #professor talk about how they got there.
In a nutshell, they haven't left the department since their master studies and stumbled into the tenure process by accident.

I am (kinda) happy for them, but I am also so incredibly fucking jealous!

I have switched not only university but country after every degree/job, so by now I live in country number 5 since starting by studies.
The longest I've been in the same country was during my #PhD plus pandemic and unemployment for over a year.

Especially older #academics don't seem to understand this, because whenever I mention any of this I encounter completely blank stares. Note, I'm in a department where most senior staff is local and celebrating 15-35+ years at the same employer.

I'm in my mid-30, I don't want to move every few years when my temporary contract ends.
I want to be able to plan more than 1-2 years at a time.

I absolutely love doing #research, but I hate so many aspects of #academic culture or what has been normalized over the years for #AcademicLife.
I plan on staying in #academia despite of it.

#Rant over, time to calm down and sip my tea.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives of the Netherlands will vote on the proposed budget, which includes dramatic budget cuts to higher education.

Today is the last opportunity for us to make our voices heard before tomorrow's vote. There will be protests throughout the country.

At Delft University of Technology, we will gather at 1pm in front of the Aula for a walk-out.

Morgen stemt de Tweede Kamer over de nieuwe begroting, inclusief de voorgestelde bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs.

Daarom zijn er vandaag demonstraties door het hele land. Dit is de laatste gelegenheid om onze stem te laten horen vóór de stemming van morgen.

Bij de TU Delft: om 13u verzamelen voor de Aula voor een walk-out tegen de aankomende Eppocalyps.

This is your periodic reminder that social media is a very narrow view of life.

What spawned this reminder: while I continue to do and talk about cool and very photogenic things (I work with animals after all, see photo...), this academic year has been a wild ride in my personal life. I’ve had to switch from 6th gear to 3rd to make sure I’m doing the things I’m doing well, rather than trying everything but not finishing anything. 1/5
