Great workshop this morning about writing public facing scholarship with @lollardfish.bsky.social. Fingers crossed for the pitch that I just sent out to news outlets!

Guess what my sister, my partner, and I are doing tomorrow?

@jasonzeh.bsky.social is a pretty avid Magic: the Gathering fan. Tonight while subjecting me to his favorite MTG YouTubers, we joked about whether or not a Real Housewives set would finally get me to play.
I gazed deeply into my soul and determined that it might, in fact, work.

My capstone research students just said that they are amazed about how helpful this peer review has been.

Trying to deal with the most stubborn man alive while he hallucinates is really really difficult. My dad is a terrible patient even on his best days

My dad had a bit of a set back today and isn’t doing great. Still optimistic in the long term but it’s really scary

He also has type 1 diabetes and his sugar was above 700. Which is nuts

I knew that UTIs in the elderly could cause delirium and altered mental states but I had no idea what that looked like until this week. My dad is doing better but it’s been a really difficult few days.
