I can't (yes I can) believe I am sending out another email to archaeologists asking them to do a few more Skype a Scientist sessions for LEGO league. But here we are. Putting our scientific network to the test. Really learning the limits here this semester, whew.

This year in New Body Experiences, getting cozy comes with the side effect of my hands hurting if they become anything close to body temperature. A lifetime of cold hands and now if I manage to warm them they say no thanks.

Today I learned that cordless phones were being sold throughout the 80s. I 100% looked this up as a result of watching The Gold on PBS.

Yes.
My kid has this bear that I refer to as “topless bear,” which infuriates my kid because they insist that “it’s wearing a shirt!” So I put it to you: what’s up with this bear?

Yes.

This elevator pitch got me to watch all of the available seasons for Slow Horses. Before I finished, the adult-child started it from the beginning. Now I’m done, but still thinking about it, and they keep coming to tell me random things. Tonight was: how dare he help himself to her ice cream?!?
Spies, but they’re fuck-ups.

In case anyone thinks I know when books release courtesy of working in a library… I don’t.
A huge thank you to @powells.bsky.social for hosting the launch event for Brigands & Breadknives last night, and to all of the wonderful people who showed up! I'm so grateful, and there couldn't have been a better way to start book tour.

Pixar designed Toy Story to be printed on physical film. The Disney renaissance movies were the same.
Today, it's hard to see them as they were meant to be seen. The versions on streaming and home media aren't quite the same films that ruled the '90s:

One of my favorite parts about watching tv/movies is when I see someone and I look them up later and realize I didn’t recognize them because they don’t usually have long curly hair. Slap long curls on some people and even if they’re ugly curls the face is somehow prettier (for a man).
