She/her I like science and people and food. Seattle-based, but not based in general. Black lives matter.

Hidden Valley Ranch doesn’t even come from a hidden valley, it’s literally just tap ranch

True, I guess I feel foolish more than guilty.

I love science but I never ever engage with something called "the science of [thing in pop culture]."

I've had enough of Trump's big talk, and we have most of the important time in an election cycle ahead of us. And we already had the "is he too old?" talk!

I spent all morning terrified I wouldn't have my meds, and I don't even have a job to tell me what to do with my time.

In sum, folks calling to replace Biden are both wrong on the cognitive science *and* the history. I get it. They're afraid. We're all worried. We often don't make smart choices when we're scared. Let's pause, take a breath, look at the science and expert analyses, instead.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

I used to have some reflective vinyl things but I read they're ineffective, and my husband hated them so I gave up. I think I found some nice stuff that looks ok from the inside but looks like an almost-opaque surface from the outside.

People who don't make a lot of money should not have trouble with their taxes. People who do make a lot of money should pay someone else to do their taxes.

AOC coming out behind behind Biden is a good reminder that your progressive heroes (and mine) didn't want this fight a year ago and they don't think it's good for progressivism to fight it now

Aw man, a crow just bounced off of my window :( I got some things to stick to the windows but learned they don't work unless they're outside and, like, very close together.

I don't know if the people writing this crap understand this or not, but they should: "fetal personhood" as a concept mandates treating pregnancy termination and pregnancy loss (under whatever circumstances prosecutors want to define it) as homicide
