It's that time of year, (Australian) astronomy summer studentship applications are open! If you're an undergrad (in Australia or NZ) who wants to try out astronomy research this summer, then get on it!

@hipsterjazzbo Update: there was another cat outside

My cat is either broken or can currently see ghosts and either way she’s super pissed that I’m not fixing it

@rukacollie Not gonna lie, I was expecting something more humanoid

Never attribute to goodwill that which can be attributed to capitalism. Nyaa.

Reposting from tumblr because it captures the feeling so perfectly 🥲

@dzhendercheto Yeah that’d do it :P I’m borderline autistic and just fully forget that there was a list at all until afterwards

@dzhendercheto Are you AuDHD?

@dzhendercheto Nah like she can’t remember the items on the list, but she remembers that we had say 3 things on it, and then her saying hey we had 3 things and we did 2 but there’s still 1 left and that triggers my brain to remember the whole list

@dzhendercheto It feels related to the adhd thing of having a thought that leads down three tangentially related thoughts and suddenly you’re thinking about something completely different which seems unrelated but it made sense in your head. Just like, byproducts of a super associative memory.

@dzhendercheto Hazel, who is very autistic, also has difficulty pulling memories, but her brain has an internal counter for todo lists and often her mentioning the counter is enough to trigger my memory of what was on the list, but I couldn’t remember otherwise.
