So it's 2025, and the world is on fire, but I put in an offer on a house as a first-time buyer yesterday. I got the dream job on the coast. The dissonance between "hey you're financially secure enough to be a homeowner" and "hey civilization collapse is happening realtime" is an absolute mind fuck.

Congress? You awake?

Adventures in FB Marketplace after too many messages haggling:

What I said: I'm firm on 250.
What I wanted to say: My dude, if $25 is going to make or break your day, perhaps you shouldn't be spending $225 on an inflatable hot tub on Facebook.

Today's #baking adventure is cricket flour cookies for my AP Enviro kids because why not it's May and we made it through AP testing!

Sourdough crumb shot which sounds more frisky than hey look at the middle of the bread.

Dill pickle and cheddar inclusion sourdough rising

Okay, so follow up 12 hours later: cheddar pickle sourdough is DELISH. Check out that crumb. #sourdough

Me every damn Saturday: Time to feed Edgar Allan Dough and maybe make some sourdough discard pancakes. Let's keep it simple.

Me later that same Saturday: I've got two loaves bulk proofing (cheddar pickle this week), discard granola in the oven, and crackers prepped to go in next.

Art journal pages with a bazillion circles, a centipede, and the words "what doesn't kill me better run."

Art journal pages with colorful swirls and the quote "my blood type is cortisol"

Collage pages with leaves, a fairy and lettering that says "Katniss Galathynius Archeron Sorrengail, you get out there and save our democracy."

Art journal pages of stickers and a lot of tiny lines.

A lot of stress means a lot of journaling time. Need some mindless relaxation that feels productive? Draw circles. For hours. No thoughts, just circle vibes. 😂 #artjournal #junkjournal

Happy #Easter

This. No notes. No addenums. THIS.

Me on a Saturday as a teacher in April: door dashing my hair color from Sallys so I can keep making banana bread and avoid putting on real clothes. Maximum efficiency or maximum ridiculousness?

Update: I have ordered a giant bag of tiny glow in the dark dinos to retaliate the joy.

I have a flying pig on my ceiling. You only get to turn it on to make it fly if you take AP Physics. 🤣

A hand holding a pile of tiny plastic baby dolls place around my classroom by my mischievous students.

I don't remember my ed courses in college covering what to do when one's classroom suddenly has an ever-growing army of plastic babies. #teacherlife

Did we really bring back the long-extinct dire wolves made popular in HBO’s Game of Thrones? Not exactly, says Ontario expert Experts, including Canadian evolutionary biologist Ashley Reynolds, believes these pups produced by Colossal Biosciences cannot be called a “true” dire wolves.

I just want to share the last quote I gave in this article widely. It sums up my feelings pretty nicely.

“It is sad that those species are gone, but we have a beautiful natural world here and now that is in desperate need of action.” 🧪

Selfie showing off my guillotine earrings.

Teaching the French Revolution at this point in time is real, real weird. I'm wearing my guillotine earrings to talk about the Terror today, and it felt surreal when a student said they saw one of those things on a protest sign. #teachingin2025 #historyteacher #thesigns

No more occupational health research.
No more HIV research. Or tuberculosis. Or sexually transmitted infections.
No environmental health & science research.
No chronic disease research & prevention.

The CRUELTY is the point.
This won’t make anyone healthier.
It will do the exact opposite.

We need to start sending Cory Booker cans of Mountain Dew and Red Bull.

#2025MMM: Come for the Biology, Stay for the Geology!

Farewell Team Ginkgo, we fought a solid battle. #2025MMM

Cover of book Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green.

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I've just finished the book Everything is Tuberculosis. Hauntingly beautiful book. This book connects disease to colonialism, fashion, genetics, race, and the horrorific decay into illness. Stunning look at how disease ripples through big and small places of history.

My most important relationships are my coffee, my family, my books. We pretend that order changes, but I know the truth. #muglife

Oops, Scientists May Have Severely Miscalculated How Many Humans Are on Earth We’ve gotta start counting from 1 again...

#APenviro teachers check this out. Using this article to review. My students have to case study and provide me a list of units the article connects to with rationale and possible impacts.

Sidenote, potentially millions more people on the planet?! Malthus could never.
