I'm a dad of two, a husband, a scientist, a teacher, and perhaps a Buddhist.
In nature and science I trust.
I apologise for mixing British and American English.

#ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings Last month's summary:
1. Last week I sat alone in the forest for an hour. I quietly watched and listened to everything around me, and at moments I felt like I was part of the forest itself (the photo shows my view),
2. We're starting to worry that our son may have ADHD/autism/some kind of perception disorder. But we managed to get appointments with a neurologist and for ergotherapy,
3. My student defended his bachelor's thesis with the highest grade.
Just wanted to wish a happy Mother's Day to those fathers who, like me, had to be mothers as well as fathers to their children.
1. Long walk with the stroller, it cleared my head,
2. Family trip to the forest, where we found 5 caches #geocaching,
3. In the forest we scared a wild boar, or rather it scared us... luckily it ran away.
Time for a new profile picture and background picture.
The photos aren't actually new, they're from 2024. They're from family trips in nature, connected with nice memories.
Finding three good things from the last month that made me truly happy (not just relief from stress) is harder. Here they are:
1. My daughter (6 months) started to sit and is trying to crawl,
2. My mum stayed with us for three days and it was nice,
3. I reviewed an academic paper that slightly touched on Buddhism.

Recently I haven't been very active on the Fediverse. Too many urgent duties and stress. I'm more anxious than average, but the last month was objectively extreme. Three relieving things:
1. A PhD student that I advise submitted his thesis just before the deadline,
2. My car passed inspection with no issues, although I remembered the deadline at the last moment,
3. Our paper passed peer review and was accepted just before the project ended.

But it is also full of extremists from both sides of the political spectrum. People mostly go there to argue, and instead of factual discussion it often becomes just reacting to other people's opinions.
The basic idea is to exaggerate the problem and then offer an easy solution.
Now the account is safely deleted.

I thought I had already deleted my account on X. I tried logging in and discovered it was still active. I spent a few hours there and this is my report. #X #Twitter
Yes, it's a good source of information. Many institutions, media, and politicians are there, which you will not find on Mstdn or Bsky.
