My dogs are kind of (okay, super) adorable.

Yesterday was one of those days.

Those wanna scream/cry/pull your hair out stressful days.

And I am *so glad* I gave up alcohol 662 days prior, because if yesterday had also included whiskey or wine, it would have still been bad *and* I'd have a headache right now.

Finished Seasons 1-3 of Ted Lasso. Moving on to Abbott Elementary.

My sweet girl had knee surgery in December, and her recovery has been...an adventure. This is her post-wound inspection + new staples (since she popped her sutures). She liked the pain meds at least. 🤣

Over 9000 likes and 100 post cards sold. I feel like we can do better than that. The world needs SciShow!!!
You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.

We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.

It's great, I love it.

I was just wrapping up my lecture slides + activity for today, which included one of my favorite clips from The West Wing, when we got the notification campus is closed due to power outages and high winds. 😭 I'll still get to use it all next week, but I'm bummed right now. Energy deflated.

*Wicked* isn't as good as everyone is saying it is...

It's better. 🩷💚

(Though a year is an awfully long intermission 😭)

It's not really Thanksgiving (season) until you hear President Bartlet say "I'm proud of you, Charlie."

😍😭

Stop trying to make "Glicked" happen.

Let "Barbenheimer" be what it was - a glorious happenstance that naturally sprung from the weirdness of the Internet.

We don't need to double-feature-mash-up-name EVERYTHING from now on.

Okay, I'm about halfway through *Hot Frosty* on Netflix, and, it's not as terrible as I assumed it would be? Or maybe it's just the right level of terrible that I need right now. ☃️

The boxes of Christmas decorations are coming out of the garage. For years, I was a staunch "no Christmas decor until after Thanksgiving!" believer. Then COVID happened. And then this year's election happened. I'm sick of postponing joy and fun because of a calendar. So, it's tree time! 🎄

I have no real opinion about John Krasinski...

But, People Magazine, WTF? Did we forget Dev Patel exists? Was Manny Jacinto busy? Pedro Pascal not returning your calls? Even if it *had to* be another generic white man, Glen Powell and Jonathan Bailey were RIGHT THERE.

Trying to figure this out. You will find I will mostly ramble about things I like (TV, escape rooms, Broadway musicals, theatre, movies, dogs, etc.).

I have a separate account for my bookish stuff: @dogearedeverything.bsky.social
