Lol, just got invited to a Halloween party, the venue of which is a cemetery 🪦💀☠️

This year I forced myself to attend many social events in order to feel more connected. But now, looking back, I found those small talks so draining - they made me feel even less connected with people💀

It seems that in some cultures the birthday person is not expected to make a contribution to the costs of food or make any efforts (whilst the invitees are expected to bring a gift and pay for the food).

I think I should attend no indoor gatherings within the next few months. There are coughs everywhere in the city. It's scary even though I have KN95/FFP2 masks. I may need to buy better masks but I'm broke.

We five invitees are from 5 different countries and we have different opinions on how much effort the birthday person should make...this is so complicated 😮‍💨

A guy invited me and four other ladies to his birthday party. It'll be this evening, but at this moment he's still not sure where to hold the party. And he told us he can't afford to pay for any food. But he told us what type of gift he expects from us. I think we shouldn't attend this party? 🤔

As a millennial, I have conflicted feelings when people ask me 'Are you a student?' 😬🤦‍♀️😅

On Twitter I can see no one talking about the chemistry Nobel, but here on Bluesky there's so much chatter about it. Bluesky feels like the old Twitter now😄

A few years ago, I heard Omar Yaghi's students say Yaghi had been expecting himself to win Nobel for a couple of years

Tomorrow we're gonna see whether the Nobel Prize in Chemistry this year will be awarded to biologists or physicists 👀

What are some good platforms for chemists to publish op-eds on?

COVID is so nasty. It steals my appetite and makes me feel food is disgusting. It tries to starve me so that my immune system no longer has enough energy to fight it. Just like Israel trying to starve Gazans so that they can't fight back. Nasty.

It's heartbreaking to hear that Greta Thunberg has been detained and physically abused by Israel 💔😡 She deserves much better!

Just a reminder that COVID is still everywhere and you still need to take tests for COVID. Once you test positive, you know what you should do to not spread it. COVID is still killing and disabling people on a daily basis. Let's try not to spread it.

This is the second time I've got COVID. The first time was in May 2023. Although I was glad to be COVID free for a long time, now I'm feeling miserable 😖🤧😩
This time it makes me lose my appetite for everything and gives me nausea. Also severe headache - l feel as if my head were going to explode.
