Today I got to hold second-round interviews for my assistant at work. That’s quite exciting.
And today I found that Professor Runions thanks me in her book “Queering Non-Humans” for working as a research assistant. Thank you professor Runions. She also thanks Professor Kunin, so I’m thanked in the same book as Kunin.

Me: I [...]
