Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Gotta say, my favorite part of giving the dogs a bath is the part where no one actually gets clean, and instead of dog-that-needs-a-bath smell, you get that charming "wet-dog-and-lavender-shampoo-on-top-of-dog-that-needs-a-bath" smell AND everyone is mad at everyone for the next three days.

I have been recommending "The Blacktongue Thief" to anyone who will listen to me recommend books for a few months now.

Optimist: the cup is half full
Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Me, leaving the Wicked early screening: “If were a 15-year-old theater kid, this movie would be my whole personality through the rest of high school.”
My beige trait is answering emails on my phone while actively sitting at my laptop, because my laptop doesn't ping when I get a new email, but my phone does.
In the Foggy Bottom Tatte yesterday: Two GW students loudly talking about how one of their exes is a TA for their economics class and shouldn't be allowed to grade their work because of a conflict of interest, but ALSO that its nice to know he's still thinking of them once a week.
