People will react to news of major security vulns with "The only way to stay secure is to live as a hermit and throw your devices into the sea" and then keep chattering on the internet in a deeply unhermitlike manner while not throwing their devices into the sea.

My family sending me pics of the snow in Minnesota. 😍❄️ It's one of the things I miss the most (even if I realise this is going to be the wet, heavy and not fun kind at this time of year.)

I'm about to start my final week at my current job, and I already feel zapped from all the stored up emotions and energy leaving my body over the past few days.

Now more than ever.

Clearly I need to watch more movies.

Even so, I'm sorry for your losses.

Just a friendly reminder to support and appreciate your local library ghost.

I like that my work takes a long time to create.

Photo of a several orange mushrooms growing in a cluster on the white bark of a birch tree. The mushrooms are attached to the tree with the gill side outward and are roundish to somewhat ear-shaped. The centres of the mushrooms contain a small amount of white fuzzy tissue.

Me, making recipe testing notes: "1 clove of garlic? That seems absurd, better put in half a head, just to be sure."

clematis blooming
like my weak-worded wishes
I cut them in half
hope holding myself hostage
smiling like a burst of light

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.
