This is amazing. Not just that he recognized you, but that you effected this tremendous positive change via a necessary application of violence at the exact correct time (And may you be able to get the needed surgery soon ❤️)

Because, again: Disability is the only minority anyone can join at any time, & which everyone will join, if they're lucky enough to live that long. A disease, a quirk of genetics, a bus, a bad fall from a curb. Anything. And the only thing we have that could consistently make this fact survivable…

“Self-described ‘gay furry hackers’” If I were a gay furry hacker, I, too, would self-describe as a gay furry hacker, because of course I would, it’s a fucking awesome description

Absolutely! There's two types of ADHD hyperfocus research holes, I find: "broad overview of a thousand things where each step in the chain makes perfect sense to YOU but confuses neurotypicals" and "I must know everything about this specific topic RIGHT NOW, no I don't know why, I just do"

I do recommend Picking Up by Robin Nagle. She’s an anthropologist, and took the sanitation exam and training so she could write about the NYC sanitation dept and its history.

Getting coffee at Dunkin this morning, and there are so many teenagers wearing their hair in their face and sweatshirts so oversized it looks like it’s all they have on and, if I had one, my gen x heart would warm in recognition

Most people will forget 80% of the information they learn in these classes. The real learning is teaching people how to tackle problems.

We shared this photo with Dad and he said "is she getting bigger or are the boxes getting smaller?" so Sarah got out the tape measure and said "it's 6" x 10" x Ginny" because she will definitely go to great lengths for a joke

This is so cool! Frog & amphibian have been dessimated by the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by a fungal pathogen. Researchers have realised that the fungi is heat intolerant so little brick saunas for frogs can help kill the fungi! Recovered frogs more resistant to further infxn 🧪

Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

I remember to take my morning meds because they are in a little basket next to the coffee filters. I remember to take my evening meds because they are in a little basket next to my night time face cream. You don't have to put them all in one cupboard! The storage police will not come and get you.

Very smart! Though heads up: if you end up buying a milligram scale off Amazon, the algorithm will then show you mini zip lock bags and rolling papers for the next several years.

Wowwwwww. Dude. Just give your credit card to someone and sent them to the store and stop being a cheapskate 🤦🏻 (To celebrate our last forensic science week — yeah, that’s a thing — our lab director told the lab tech to organize a potluck, and then she signed up to bring utensils)

DUDE. SAME. Okay, not the part about punching the clown, but I do remember walking backstage to get in the truck, passing the goat who was playing the unicorn and reaching out to pet him, and being scolded by the clown. Jerk.

It’s nice to know the extra air is really helping, at least? I’m glad it was only a couple hours of an outage!
