16.02.2026 01:23 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Done! I am really excited. The last ring I had that fit was sawed off when I broke my wrist and havenβt found anything that fit since.

14.02.2026 20:23 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yay! Dibs. I would like both.
14.02.2026 19:54 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0We have lucked out I love the laboradoite and emerald. Question is can I afford them.
14.02.2026 19:51 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Anything in the 12 or 13 range femme?
14.02.2026 19:23 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

?!?!??
I am in the science and mathematics complex. And unfortunately I was in a hurry and couldn't just lurk in the hallway there to find out what was going on in there.
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
10.02.2026 20:18 β π 31099 π 13744 π¬ 967 π 1694Ooooohhhh - that explains the weird vibe I got off that book announcement. I havenβt thought about Templeton in years.
10.02.2026 18:35 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I could do with some less interesting times.

But perhaps help them learn not to make 3am purchases of things as an adult because they have suddenly become fixated?
Ask me how I know.
Some of it is on the Internet Archive but itβs missing some of the critical appendices and links are really clunky. I figured I better find other sources our current government canβt easily frell up.
08.02.2026 04:17 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I have spent all day re-constructing the homework for the upcoming week now that the CIA world factbook has been destroyed.
I have ended up using Our World in Data for some of it, UNESCO, World Bank Data and Gapminder. I am still missing some things but have a whole other homework to redo. ARGH!
No! Emphatic bugs bunny No!

05.02.2026 02:43 β π 18 π 4 π¬ 1 π 1Feels mind melting at the time but now I miss it. One of my adult (eek!) sprouts actually quoted at me "oh this is one of those why things that just is and there isn't a good reason for it" at me a few days ago and blew my mind. It is so important to take them seriously and be careful what you say.
04.02.2026 12:47 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Pretty sure I did lose my mind? I do remember a lot of
Them: No! Me: No?
Them: No! Me: No? (in increasingly funny voices)
&/or I fell down dramatically.
The why? phase was harder because I tried to answer all the questions best I could. Reading Where the Wild Things are 20x in a row was worst.
Had a terrible time sleeping last night, so sleep deprived me decided to download and start listening to Caro's Biography of Robert Moses.
2am me makes some really weird choices.

This is a trip. Itβs like the mandatory Title IX trainings for work except much, much worse. Good lord.

*What the hell, Science Daily?*
Garbage. βοΈπ§ͺ
Close up photograph of a lemon basque cheesecake fresh out of the oven and still all puffy, surrounded by browned parchment paper.
I am already exhausted, classes - which should have started today - start tomorrow. All the admin meetings that were canceled by weather last week will now happen this week and the world is still on fire.
BUT... I managed to make a nice lemon basque cheesecake for my stepfathers birthday tomorrow.
It is only Monday and I can already tell that I will want hard alcohol by Friday. Unfortunately I am helping run the Science Olympiad on Saturday. This is going to be a very, very long week.
26.01.2026 21:39 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Accidentally walked outside wearing my new Christmas slippers - they have hard soles and I am not used to switching at the door yet - and have discovered to my horror that my slippers are warmer in the snow than my snowboots. I think everything associated with snow removal by me is ridiculous today.
