I hope that last night John Roberts' wife didn't come home from yesterday's #NoKings protest until 3:00 a.m., and that when John awoke and saw her with her clothes rumpled, her hair disheveled, and her makeup smeared, he exclaimed, oh my God, did the protest turn violent?and she answered icily, my God, could you be more naive? and headed for the shower.
If any PhD students are following your account, boosting would be appreciated.

Fellow PhD student: hello! โ€‹โ€‹ I hope you had a good Monday.

0) In which country are you pursuing your PhD?
1) What is the official duration of your PhD programme? Does it assume you already have a Master's?
2) How many academic credits (e.g., ECTS) are you required to get in order to complete your PhD?
3) If you are paid for TAing, can you estimate the number of teaching contact hours you need in order to supplement other sources of funding?

My union and Ph.D. committee have been asking for feedback, and I have a theory I'd like to test. Feel free to use private mentions if you want.

Edit: I am now using "academic credits" to make myself more understandable to non-EU people.
The Scottish Highlands looking very Scottish Highlands yesterday morning.
We are running out of helium and the reality of what this means will shock you.You probably think helium is just for party balloons. The truth is it is the absolute lifeline for our most advanced technology. 
And right now roughly one third of the entire global supply is completely trapped.
Saw an article about this that linked to a video on another platform. I don't love posting content from elsewhere, but I will make exceptions....
I hope that this morning John Roberts awakens pleasantly horny and happy because Saturday mornings traditionally are when he and his wife make love and then she makes her special super-hot, super-fluffy waffles, and before he even opens his eyes he extends a gently probing foot to touch her lovely warm body and initiate a cuddle but his foot finds only a cold empty bed, and then he gets up and wanders downstairs to a cold empty kitchen because his wife is at a #NoKings protest, and she didn't even set up the coffeemaker for him.
