I have a love/hate relationship with research because why did I go in with one question and leave with six?

cats will either meow with no vowels <mrrp> /mr̩ːp̚/ or will manage to meow their way around the entire ipa vowel chart <mieau> /mieɛæaäɑɔouʉy/

normalized data implies the existence of problematized data

academia is just the wild oscillation between "they are going to find out i'm stupid and put me down like a dog" and "i never met a man who was smarter than me"

I went to Escher Sentence Island and more people were there than I was

i went to garden path sentence island and some flowers

I went to zeugma island and completely insane

this fetish stuff is getting out of hand what the fuck is word play
