Let's be honest, you don't want to hear about me. You, on the other hand, are quite lovely in a hypothetical sort of way.

I suffer from "physical inactivity".
Sitting is the new smoking, right?

I'm researching, so feel free to RT:

Churchy friends, what makes a good church website? What are you looking for when you land there? What is essential information? Got a good example?

I have instigated the use of "who is your favorite ninja turtle?" as vibe check during interviews.

No, but I also didn't notice without it being pointed out (twice).

Tesla will have to fire him and distance themselves if they want to survive.

NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀

Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯

A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛

You can lacto-ferment cucumbers and get a salty-tangy pickle alternative.

We saw with the vote on the UN resolution on the war in Ukraine that the US sided with communists. This is just another step in the authoritarian direction.

As my friend @drshepherd2013.bsky.social says, asking why we need a National Weather Service when we have apps and the Weather Channel is like asking why we need potato farmers when we can buy fries at McDonalds.

As an alternative to "nutmegger" or "Connecticutter" I briefly tried to promote "Connectian" (pronounced con-nee'-shin).

No, thanks. I already have some. Very considerate of you though.

I did 3 or 4 years in a row, then took 2 off, then had them again this past year.

I've never gotten them to survive the winter. 😢

Got it. I'm pretty sure my bees are dead. I haven't been as attentive to them as I should so I have to decide if I want to or should order new bees for this year.

If your bees survived the winter, wouldn't you want to keep those genetics? Unless the queens died, then it makes sense.

There are lots of lettuces and greens that are cold hardy that can be grown outside much earlier (and later) than other vegetables!

Too many of us have forgotten the lessons we learned from The Lion King and it shows.

The inability to make a decision on their own. Not in every arena of life, but if someone can't ever decide what to have for lunch without help... that's a clue.

Finally, we've figured out where all the drones hang out waiting for new queens to visit!
