Mastodawn

Hi everyone!

After a few years break from conventional social media, here to see if I enjoy this more.

I am a PhD student in cosmology. When not at my desk you can probably find me in the local climbing gym, cooking some vegan food, reading, playing boardgames or spending time outside doing more climbing, hiking, bike packing.

Might use this account for talking about science, hobbies or both.

Originally from Germany currently living in Denmark.

Dr. Amy, Psy.D.6d ago

It's that time again where I am asked to write an author bio. What do we think of:

Dr. Amy is the single greatest mind of her generation. She came here to chew gum and fuck things up, and she is fresh out of gum.

Public Domain Philip K. Dick Stories | Philip K. Dick

I sense something brewing with the issue of incorrectly managed copyright renewals and Public Domain Philip K. Dick stories. We have already seen the news about the producers refusing to finish paying…
