So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

On the drive home just now I was thinking about how Homer's epics were oral histories written as songs that were meant to be memorized and performed for an audience, and I realized that the Iliad and Odyssey were both very long versions of Barrett's Privateers

So, paska citrus rolls turned out beautifully (thanks @wheredoeseli.bsky.social for your help!). They're filled with lemon curd, which is very tasty, but next time I think I'll try a sweet citrus butter.
Then I had another thought this morning... could I make paska focaccia???

Sunday (Mennonite) musings:
I wonder if one could make a cinnamon bun type object from paska dough.
I shall try it, if I'm ever able to knead dough again. Maybe a citrus filling instead of cinnamon? Definitely keep the frosting and sprinkles.

Not me crying at my desk at work because I just finished listening to The River Has Roots by @amalelmohtar.com over my lunch break.
And, a first for me, I strongly recommend listening to the audiobook first - it's absolute perfection.
