Faith, but like a ~vibe~

whenever someone assumes i am an extrovert i feel i have pulled off the greatest con of all time. haha! you fell for it again, i'm just friendly.

update, customer tried a 2nd time to make me cry yesterday and she was successful but it was after the call w/her that i lost my shit so at least it wasn't in front of her?

i feel old in a great way bc my besties and i started saying 6-7 ironically but now we find it hilarious

proud to say a customer did her darndest to make me cry today but i got gentler and kinder the more unkind and snippy she got so who won here babes

i simply must tell you my cat is sitting on my lap in the shape of a jelly bean. a little black licorice jelly bean i say!

my husband and i are sharing our first ever credit card and the process of reconciling the bill is a bit rough. so he built a retool app that cuts the budget reconciliation time from an hour to 10 min, he is so smart and i love him

do not read the sacred texts of cell structure to me i was there when they were written

hot girls use dichotomous keys. iykyk

OMG course mentioned inaturalist/seek to help identify plants, has to be verified by 2 other real humans & it's like shazaming a plant it is amaze

help.inaturalist.org/en/support/s...

herbariums are actually incredibly badass, they keep record of every damn plant they can in a given state. that is hero's work www.colorado.edu/cumuseum/res...

oh my god. the course is saying that scientific names of plants are latinized, not necessarily latin. that's so real and thank you for ur honesty, CSU

but ya know sometimes my brain does like it. for example brassicaceae is a genus referring to plants such as cauliflower and broccoli and i think those plants absolutely give brassicaceae. they are brassy gals that require some guidance when cooking. slay queens

lmfao and you know what you're so right

and like. i get it, because we should be erecting monuments in david attenborough's honor. but it's disappointing to know that binomial nomenclature is so steeped in human idosyncracies and so little logic. my brain doesn't like it

Electrotettix - Wikipedia

for example there is a species of locust called electrotettix attenboroughi and why yes it was named after the greatest man to ever live, david attenborough en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro...

i remember being devastated in college to learn that binomial nomenclature has nothing to do with...logic and latin names helping you understand living things, and everything to do with who discovered the thing. maybeeeee the name will make some ergonomic sense but not always

now. if you're a romantasy girlie you might be having some Thoughts around a vascular plant vs a bryophyte. but the answer is simply that one is flat like moss and one has....veins. welp

gardener course now getting into taxonomy. one time when i was younger i tried to write a novel called the zombie taxonomy. i wasn't successful but the idea sure was fun

my master gardener course is savage. on the word 'native' plants it says 'the term is so overused that it has little meaning' ok go offfffff

devastated to report that when horticulturists refer to growing 'edibles' they don't mean anything having to do with marijuana

the internet has made us care too much about our personal freedoms and not enough about the well being of others in relation to what we do with our personal freedoms. coldest take in the world but something that rly bothers me.

it's just such a pervasive habit and they bother me so much. yes if you're an adult you should be free to use nicotine as you please. but nicotine use isn't value neutral and using it affects the people around you and i wish folks were more cognizant of that

and IME people who love flavored vapes do not give a single shit where they do it!!! zero consideration for the people around them! why is there not similar rules for where you can/cannot vape as there are for smoking?? is it because vapes are harder to clock than cigs? idk

like...it's not cool to smoke a cigarette and blow the smoke in someone's face indoors, but somehow this is fine with vapes? i know secondhand smoke is worse than secondhand...vape air, or whatever, but i still hate secondhand vape air like it smells so bad to me

310 was a sticky issue i think and i know many folks were unhappy that it passed. it probably was not the right ballot measure to solve the social issues that come w/vaping

torn between adults should be able to responsibly use nicotine whenever and the reality that at least in denver, people who use flavored vapes have been unbelievably rude about it.

proposal is as good as it's gonna get for now, moving on to a lesson plan review

got the project structure in place . next up, a proposal for a hybrid learning format

doing a little work sprint thread if anyone needs some accountability. 25-5 structure if ya like pomodoros

sprint 1: get a skeleton project structure in place for some new online learning. will check back to see how far i get.

every now and then i'll look at data job postings for companies based in NYC, because i've always had a crush on that city. but the pay for IC roles that REQUIRE IN OFFICE PRESENCE in NYC is fucking criminal. what do you mean you'll pay $75k for an anlayst and make them go to manhattan 2x/week?!
