Hello, little world. Glad to know you still listen to my jabber. Had an awesome time roleplaying last night. I’m so tired I could just fall asleep atop the keyboard today, of course, but meh: totally worth it! Oh the drama. It was the first time I’ve ever put together…

Question everything: thoughts on critical thinking
Past the middle of January, and finally a first trace of snow here in Skåne. I’ve complained about Scanian winter before (rain, mud, icy winds, sleet…), but this is just ridiculous. By meteorological definition it’s not even winter yet. A year without a winter, even a tiny joke of a…

Successes!
Hello blog. Oh, and hello blog readers. Happy news! I passed a whole bunch of exams! This term has been the best with respect to results so far for me, but also the most intense and difficult one. I guess that insane amount of studying actually paid off. Just a…

My headphones — they saved my life
My headphones broke the other day, some two days after the warranty expired. My suspicion grows that all electronic devices are designed to break the week after the warranty expires. Be that as it may, after a couple of days with lack of music on my daily walks the abstinence was…

Contemplations and a new year
Woo! Hundredth post! Kinda sucky considering how long I have been blogging, but worth a cheer nonetheless, I think. Also: woo, new year! I guess. Nothing much exciting about that if you sit down and think about it, but with the mindset heavy-laden with symbols of our culture still clinging…

Take Me As I Am
You know what I think the hardest part of being a vegan is? It’s not resisting the occasional cravings for milk or cheese or fish or bacon or whatever. It’s not the limited options of edible things in many restaurants and supermarkets. It’s not even having to turn down free…

Not dead, just busy
Kind of default state now, this working every waking hour and still have a to do-list two meters long. Oh, how I miss my sanity. But I’m living and learning. A lot. Hopefully I will even remember some of the things when my brain has solidified again after having been…

On my loss of wisdom(teeth)
Long time no update, huh. Guess that pesky “real life” had me absorbed for a while again. Ah well, back to forgetting about its miseries by… whining about them here? Had a really lovely time at the dentist, got a wisdom-tooth pulled out, root and all. Guess I was more…

Londa Schiebinger on gender in science
There was a talk at the physics department today by Londa Schiebinger, professor of history of science at Stanford University. I read a book of hers called Has Feminism Changed Science? as course literature in a course dealing with gender in science, and really liked it, so of course I had…
