I’m not saying I don’t love my country and am not willingto fight for it, but if any of my international folks find a job for a seasoned microbiologist PhD with tons of experience with meningitis, protein misfolding, antibiotic resistance, or the like, I could be compelled to leave.

I did a thing. I tried to bury it in an unmarked grave near the bogs, that the creatures there might find it and devour it before it could be loosed upon the world.

Alas, it was found….

Thanks to everyone involved. It was an honor and an absolute blast.

Reposting this photo to commemorate the festivities.

Also, a whole mood.

News from the abyss: smaller child can hold a bottle of milk and concentrate her shits into diaper-obliterating concussive blasts. Larger child eats a week’s worth of groceries every day.

Three weeks in with caring for New Human. Time comes and goes and comes again at odd angles. The poop comes from a more reliable source and in greater abundance.
