Science will always be true even if you don’t believe it. Thanks modern medical science for keeping me alive with medicine and vaccines! And fuck off to the morons who believe one discredited paper from someone whose licence was stripped over a huge body of scientific evidence.

I thought I was pretty good too, but I am still learning new stuff from reading her book every day. I’m looking forward to reading the rest since I’ve only made it through the section on salt! The show totally got me hooked.

Her style has so much more empathy. You really feel like you are there because she’s showing and highlighting what they do in a really fun and respectful way.

Samin Nosrat is a joy to watch and her book is super awesome. I’ve already learned lots of new tricks.

Yay Fiona! The most perfect hippo!

I got two faculty interviews! They’re in February so I have some time to prepare. I didn’t think I’d get any but still spent the whole fall writing applications. I'm excited and terrified at the same time!

We have so many penguin decorations, and yet, I feel like we need more.

I once got a pair of socks from my step mom that said “I’m selfish.” She said, “They’re perfect for you!”

This fucking place! We are definitely the baddies.

I'd have said horny. ;)

I will say that science and engineering could help us deal with the effects of the imminent shitshow, so those are still important to learn for the sake of our future. But I applaud her badassery.

I was recently betrayed by pizza that burned my mouth so badly that it has taken it three weeks to heal. I still love it though!

Mine is out of town for two weeks unfortunately

I haven’t had time to read a book in years. I used to love it so much. Maybe it is time for me to make some time...

A nice cup of tea can make things seem so much more manageable.

Good idea--if I do it mid day I can use up all the hot water, which would be amazing.

Thank you—that is very helpful. I am sorry to hear about your dad and hope that all goes well for him. I also talk to animals and plants too, so no judgement here! I’ve been leaving some seeds here and there a chickadee that decided to nest in our yard.

That sounds divine. I really haven’t had Mexican food in so long. They don’t have any restaurants here that serve anything but sad tacos, but I should just make some enchiladas. I miss them so!

Thank you for reminding me that it is fuzzy sock season! mine have been hiding in my PJ drawer, but it is time to bust them out.

I leave 8-10 hours for sleep a night, but sleep terribly (in part due to PTSD). This last week was particularly bad because I was only actually sleeping about 4 hours a night. I always follow all the important sleep hygiene tips, but none ever help (though I keep doing them). I’ve always wanted to do a sleep study,…
