Been at this conference for not quite 24 hours, just spotted that inevitable professional astronomer dude wearing a ratty T-shirt, even rattier jorts, and flip flops.

Oh hey the next row over there's a dude in t-shirt and khaki shorts. At least he's wearing shoes and has no holes in his clothing.

*Glances at all the women and nonbinary folks in the room wearing business professional outfits*
Sigh
