Dodgy video of the Alaska visitors (T419s) making a visit to Tacoma. So fortunate to see this.

It’s a better living through chemistry kind of night

Frightened dog huddles against a human

Happy “Holy Sh!t mom wtf!” Day to all who celebrate.

This was so, so very good. The weaving of topics that touch es a nerve every few minutes…and served with a balm of humor and chemistry. Very much worth not just a listen but two or three.

A black Greenland paddle with a skull sticker in front of the beach.

Close up of black Greenland paddle with a skull sticker in front of the beach.

Nearly two years ago I lost this paddle. Today, I got it back after it turned up at the same beach where I lost it a few days. Looks a tad worse for wear but seems functional. Thanks to the skull stickers a friend gave me, it was identifiable as mine. Wondering what kinds of adventures it has had.

This thread is awesome.

Ughhhh

The week that I was submitting my tenure file and was diagnosed with a rare-ish brain anomaly, I woke up to a tingly, rash on one side of my torso (stress much?). It was very, very mild, but I recognized it immediately as shingles and my Dr. did too. Great read to help you advocate for yourself!

Lino print of Baba

Red and clear glass medallion with a Baba stamp

The Hut of Baba Yaga from Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is one of my favorites. So finding these two pieces of art this year is extra special.

Simple, clear and accurate sentiment for “these times”.

This and a half! These efforts are so worthwhile. Also, in some spaces there is a high return for this investment of your time in terms of the chances that the award will be made. Nomination committees often receive nomination packages from a small subset of their membership.

Whenever @goldenrod-ed.bsky.social writes about departing academia, I feel seen. But today…boy…she’s in my head.

Baba print. “Fortune Favors 253”

@tmrmakes.bsky.social: Absolutely wild weather today…but the sun came out and I was lucky to find this pristine Baba. Love your prints so much.

Inside of you are two wolves

Neither of them are direwolves, because direwolves are extinct, regardless of what clickbait nonsense you read on social media this week.

Awesome AF Dragonball print.

Found some cuteness on my walk today.

I cackled loudly in public.

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover.

Infographic describing the impacts of the time change to daylight savings time.

There’s so much going on…but I gotta take the time to honor my evergreen rage against the time change. It can piss right off. Credit to the BioClock studio at U.C. San Diego for this cool infographic on the impacts of daylight savings time. bioclock.ucsd.edu/portfolio-it...

Yep.
