Hi! This is a place for you to share everything positive with kind strangers on the Internet.

Made new friends? Found love? Got a new wonderful job? Bought something cool? Found something amazing on the Internet? Maybe had a wonderful celebration? Maybe something else? Or you're just in a great, grateful, relaxed mood and want to share some of it with the world?

Share it, and let the fire in your eyes brighten everybody's day, for joys are best when shared!

Rules:

  1. No negativity: This is a safe and positive space. Make sure your posts and comments respect that. If you feel offended by any of the posts - feel free to message admin(s)!

  2. No discrimination: Posts and comments should not contain any forms of discrimination and hostilities to any groups of people.

  3. No gloating: If you got happier by making someone else feel worse, this is not the place to share it. This is a place to express gratitude, and share moments that will feel warm to everyone.

Rules are work in progress and subject to change. If you want to help moderating the community and keeping it alive, let me (Allero@lemmy.today) know! Everyone is welcome!

After a while of running quite dry and moving my science on sheer enthusiasm and ramen, I finally got personal research funding and a great side job.

Now I can continue doing my thing, and on the side earn enough to cover all living expenses, plus a bit extra. The path is rocky at times, but I'm grateful I struggled through and got some recognition!

Wow, that's fantastic - Congratulations!

Now, are you even good enough for imposter syndrome?

Lol, that was a good meme :)

I'm a diligent and purposeful researcher, so I'm certainly trustworthy to keep my thing going.
