52. She's going Plan B

Wed Jan 29, 2025, 09:26 AM

Yesterday

Dropping out of the doctorate program, as her's is a 5-year program and she's just finishing year two. She has 4 years of research work, but research work doesn't count in the job field. They want actual work. So, mission accomplished Republicans, as she was specializing in environmental plastics in soil and water and would have only been one of a handful in the country doing it.

MAGAts... enjoy your forever plastics. Oh, and MAGA... Fuck you and I hope your deaths are long and painful.

PS. Her professor is a Trump supporter who doesn't believe in Global Warming. He's lost his grants too! Fuck Him.
