Does this mean I don’t need to prep for the classes I’m supposed to teach on Tuesday?

While I realize this is not relevant to many of the present day discussions, the remarkable similarity of organisms at the biochemical, genetic, cellular, and physiological levels is not understood by many people.

Today Microsoft Word suggested I change "Genesis 1 and 2" to "Geneses 1 and 2." I will, in fact, still have a job when the robots take over.

Flowers that cool themselves: thermal ecology of summer-blooming thistles in hot Mediterranean environments Flower exposure to high temperature reduces the production, viability and performance of pollen, ovules and seeds, which in turn reduces individual fecundity and risks the survival of populations. Aut...

I spent the last five summers sharing the infamous mediterranean heat with 15 species of thistles that flower at that somewhat absurd time of year, seeking to understand (something about) their thermal ecology.

Here are the results. I think all my sweat was worth it.

I did that yesterday. I’ve spent most of today telling myself to sit down and write.

Same here. Looks like I might actually have to sit down at the computer or something.

Really, let's not start with this quote-skeeting dunking on people thing.

If someone is a dingus to you, mute them. Block them. Move on with your life. Reapply your chapstick. Have some tea.

Post a photo of your pet and move on with your day.

Overall a good plan, but this holiday break is the first opportunity I’ve had for a few hours of necessary hyperfocus.

I'm not sure how I navigated the past few years without an SSRI, but a couple weeks in, wow, I should have done this quite a long while ago. I'm so much better.

If you're waiting for a magical sign to appear and tell you to take care of your mental health, feel free to consider this as that sign.

Yes. And this was after we did a paraphrasing exercise in recitation.
