team ontology

you know you're deep in the dissertation weeds when you find yourself thinking about the ontology/epistemology divide when in the middle of a myofascial massage

tonight’s good thing: garden bounty

Such a good point 👏

(I’m going to remember it!)

Your photos and alt texts are always such a timeline cleanse 🤍

We went right when it opened and escaped before it got too crazy. Heading back to yxe now. Next time I’ll be a better planner and will snag ya for a coffee date 🤍

Shoutout to #yeg’s roads that are NW S, all at the same time

“I’m not anti-Semitic at all, but I am anti-Zionist. I don’t believe they have the right, after 3,000 years, to reclaim the land with western bombs and guns on biblical injunction.”

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

We do not run away. We run with. - Brainsport Community To run with grief is not to forget. It is not a distraction. Eli and my pop are with me, but it does not feel like a burden.

we brought him with us on this mini trip

Three years ago today I got the call that forever changed the life of the man I love, and I was there to pick up all the pieces. We’re still here, but we won’t ever be the same. Miss you Eli.

Hate you, fentanyl.

Last semi-spoiler:

I LOVED the ‘Bears’ episode / wedding episode so much, that I can’t wait to see it again. I love that effed up family, a lot.

Semi-spoiler:

What a gift when a parent recognizes how they have screwed up, and then goes out of their way to apologize.

I work to be that kind of mama, but I did not grow up with that example.

And, as someone who’s also recovering from self-medicating from problems, I’m glad she’s sober.

“Seven Fishes” from season 1 was a show that completely wrecked me when I watched it, and it’s a show I will probably never watch again, it was that devastating and amazing. Jamie Lee Curtis is like no one else.

We finished The Bear, season 4 tonight (one of the select “good” TV shows I’ll watch), and I kinda love how the supporting actors on the show are the true stars (except for Ayo Edebiri, who is flawless).

I still have no idea how this show is classified as a “comedy” though

Strawberry Basil Jam This strawberry basil jam gets its unexpected edge from minced fresh basil stirred in just after boiling.

So happy to have strawberries in the city again. We picked nearly 10 lbs in 45 min, and jam days are ahead

I dunno if it's because it's summertime, or because I'm deep into dissertation mind, but wow, has my ADHD been raging over the last few weeks.

I keep thinking about ontology/oncology, and how I always get etymology and entomology confused too

😬

help, I'm going to have to write about ontology in this latest chapter and I'm already sweaty thinking about it

my vet informs me that my 10-year-old cat is now officially a senior, but I beg to differ. She is definitely still a baby

I love not only that this is true but that Dexter Holland is as much of a Guy Fieri-ass frosted tips goober as ever, he just sort of took a break from the HB pop punk scene to be centrally involved in curing AIDS and is now back focusing on his "Gringo Bandito" hot sauce

The set for the Acadia tour - it looks like an old timey theatre

Oh my, I was not expecting the Alison Krauss + Union Station show to be that incredible — it was all heart and strings! And devastating lyrics.

and now I miss my home so much.
