Sliced my finger with a bread knife and need stitches. Refused by both Urgent Cares because they are full for today and I donβt have an appointment. This is fine.

Bias and community diversity are very broad words within Ecology. I addressed both in my work with microbes. Ignorance is going to destroy this country.

Itβs getting so bad I canβt breathe. But hey, if we make it through I only have 20 years before I can retire.
Group of students watches a CTD instrument being deployed in Lake Tanganyika from a small boat.
Apparently itβs #CTDappreciationDay so hereβs an old pic from 25 years(!) ago on Lake Tanganyika as part of the #NyanzaProject. Fantastic experience that summer. I miss fieldwork more than I can adequately express.
I canβt fathom the amount of damage thatβs being afflicted right now.
I thought I had escaped the Orange one today, until they insisted on interrupting the National Championship game. π€¬
Sometimes disassociating isnβt enough. This is one of those weeks. Hot baths and long cat cuddle sessions are in my future (but not at the same time).
Iβve seen reels of cats doing it too! If I taught my five pets, Iβd never get peace and quiet! π

By the way, the writing retreat was awesome. Highly recommend spending time in the mountains with fascinating new friends and being empowered to write. I even read aloud at a local book store. Stretching my comfort zone felt amazing.
Looking forward to a writing retreat in the mountains to kick off the new year and thankful my partner can hold down the (pet) fort in my absence.
Took me awhile to figure out I had to log back in to everything on my new phone. π«£
Had a rare experience last night of online shopping only to realize I already had unused similar items I could repurpose and ended up not buying the thing.
Needed to read this today.
During Trumpβs last term, he made over 30,000 false or misleading claims. Itβs always important to verify facts. For instance, he once stated that βraking the forestβ could help prevent forest fires.
Purple fan reading Queen Please and a playbill for the musical Six.
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Six at the National last night. Our waiter expressed fear at what the future might bring for their restaurant which relies heavily on the federal employees and the theater district crowd.
Plate of deviled eggs
Dish of roasted vegetables.
Made deviled eggs and roasted veggies this morning for the big meal. Working on hour 5 of food coma.
Randomly felt a nugget of my old self this morning, so Iβve got that going for me.

What is with all the food recalls lately? Was there a reduction in inspections? Changes in safety protocols? Pure greed or incompetence?
Tweet that says if your concern with trans women is that men might claim to self-ID as trans to gain access to womenβs spaces and assault them, then your problem is actually with predatory men and not trans women.
All of this.
Fortune from a dessert reads, βHow rare and wonderful is that flash of a moment when we realize we have discovered a friend.β

Somehow I knew I could get my partner on board with a fireplace tv stand if I told him we could also replace the center channel speaker.
