Opened Instagram and saw this. The algorithm knows my struggles. Both the job market and the rental market are shit this year. Probably the only way for us jobless people to survive is to live with the parents.

I was scared to see raw chicken hearts, but after a friend cooked them for me, yum yum!

Over the past few days I've seen lots of chatter about the recent research funding cuts in the UK. It seems that it affects UK chemists in my field a lot. Also, it seems that my field is dying in every country these years because of the funding cuts. What a time I'm living in!☹️

Lol, browsing job ads and seeing a 'permanent postdoc' position in the chemical industry

Today's picket had great vibes, but as this placard points out, there probably won't be enough money for science if that stupid four-year-old war continues...

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· May 12

Browsed job boards today and saw an academic job in a European country that requires the applicants to have at least 10 years of postdoctoral experience but still have no stable job... This says enough about today's academia. #AcademicSky

LMAO. Why does Instagram show me this ad. Probably because some friends suggested that I do another PhD if I still can't find a job. Instagram is clearly eavesdropping. And I don't believe there are short PhD programmes in 2026. It feels like a scam.

Opened twitter and saw this. I'm not surprised. It is that bad already. I think this is future me. I've already applied for a few jobs that don't require a degree. I have no choice.

I still don't understand why the Hellma cuvette costs more than €600. It's just a transparent little container made of quartz! Does anyone understand this? #ChemSky

I was looking for a colleague just now, but her office door says 404😭

The sign on the door says '404 - Employee not found'

When the strikes and the war-caused fuel shortage join forces...

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Apr 17

Opened Instagram and saw this. Maybe I should try to do more small talk.

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Apr 15

A swarm of ants by the river. Some have wings, some not. Not sure what they're up to.

Google maps gave me some trouble, but I managed to get to this place. It was a tiring trip but the castle is worth it.

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Apr 14

I didn't know there's something called 'tombstone banner'

An old tombstone banner display in a museum

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Apr 13

Just another piece of modern art that I don't understand (these are not fridges & they can't be opened & the cans inside are not drinks)

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Apr 12

Art like this makes me think I were in Pompeii

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Apr 8

Why is there a teddy bear on the tree near my apartment block

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Mar 30

LMAO my colleague puts this up on the wall in our office

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Mar 29

I've noticed this trend...

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Mar 27

So Banksy's real name has recently been revealed by Reuters

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Mar 26

Lol, my colleague put this up on the wall to make fun of the US govt. However, I don't think we can make fun of them when we are also struggling with the lack of funding here.

Lingfeng Ge@lingfengge· Mar 23

Applying for a job in a Spanish-speaking country. Their system requires me to have two surnames 🤦‍♀️ #jobhunting

This weekend many people in my city are celebrating Nowruz and selling Persian food, so I also got a Persian takeaway. Yummy 😋

Browsing job boards, I see an ad like this for a job in my field in a big city in Poland. PLN 7250 is 1697 euros. And this is the gross salary. I wonder which scientist would apply for such a job. This salary is just humiliating, not to mention the recruiting process having two interviews.
