Every time I would find a bug in the yard and hunt through BugGuide to learn that presumably it has a larval form but that’s all we know, I would twitch a little.

The grain, turnip, carrot, and wild onion soup was hearty, as was the woodland salad, oat an' dried fruit scones with honey, cheese and celery dip, and St. Ninian’s barley wine.

Professional goals for this summer:
- take a long, meandering walk
- go swimming and lie in the sun to dry off
- get absorbed in a big book like I’m a sixth grader again
- learn more bird calls
- watch the sunlight shine down through the trees in patches on the grass
- take a long, meandering walk

I just found out that the only indie bookstore in our area is closing and I think this is going to be the proverbial straw that breaks me

Oreos — great, delightful, a classic.
Double Stuf Oreos — even better, everything I love about Oreos but with decadence and joie de vivre
Mega Stuf Oreos — this has to stop. Structural integrity is compromised. Too sweet on the palate. They Stufed too close to the sun

me: It stars Adam Scott. He has a really bad haircut.
P: And a weird-shaped head. And a weird-looking face.
me: Wow, Adam Scott is really catching strays right now.
P: He’s not catching strays. I’m firing directly at him

I think it’s great that therapy is much more widely available with virtual appointments now, but it kind of sucks that I can’t find a single therapist who will see me in person anymore. It helps me to interact with a real person, rather than sitting in my car looking up a therapist’s nostrils

Can somebody please tell me why humoral theory—you know, that thing we believed about medicine in the 1400s—is making a comeback in the crunchy community. I just saw someone on a backyard chicken group claim that oregano oil is a “hot” oil and will exacerbate the chicken’s foot problem. Can we NOT

I did a hard thing and withdrew a paper from an upcoming conference. I don’t care to share personal stuff on social media as much as I used to, but there’s like ten of you so it’s fine. I’ve been having a really hard time mentally and knew something had to give.
