devastating: coworker you were getting along with just fine so far has an american flag as his phone wallpaper
there was one prof here (retired, not around anymore) who always seemed kinda quiet and nice and enthusiastic and then while cleaning out a lab, i found correspondence that more or less went like "here is a donation of (significant sum of money) for the reaching arab nations for christ foundation, please do not publish my name"
so like cool cool he's a weird proselytizer and knows what the optics on that look like but does it anyway
