This is fucked. I had one of these to support my research in grad school, and I was on the review panel after I became a professor. (Also, there was a review happening like right now—I wonder what is happening with those proposals?)
NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.
Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

my dissertation was about the history of Catholic converts in the US and every day something makes me remember how often I was told it was too niche
My dissertation turns 10 next month and I've been dipping in to see if there's anything in there worth pulling out and working with, and each chapter is effectively about a different emotional struggle that would be familiar today.

An irony about this knitting journey I'm on is that I'm here because I want big, loose, textured, weird knitwear that doesn't exist in stores under $700 and the easy-to-find online knitting culture is all about making smooth, fitted, soft, BORING basic sweaters

My partner placed top 8 in the international MTG pro tour one year and so I too have this problem
in undergrad i was into a girl who was into magic the gathering. i wasn't and that was a categorical dealbreaker for her. i thought that was a strange prerequisite, and probably just as well. anyway i think it's good that whenever i see "MTG" on my timeline it'll mean the game and not the politician
