When a friend dies who is Famous On The Internet that means hundreds of strangers sharing his best bits! (Dan was also a kind, generous person and writer of non-bits)

I could do my job’s core duties that have been piling up since January 1 OR I could reply to my coworker’s email from five minutes ago to “my crafty friends”

Inside me is only one wolf, and it wants to make stamp art.

My husband (a HS teacher) developed a new elective on the National Parks and he’s invited in various rangers to talk to his class, with today’s virtual visit from Independence NHP.

When I look at the big ass map that Eira and Ben made of archives in the floodplain, what strikes me is not, OH shit that's a lot of places endangered by global heating, it's OH SHIT that's too many places period
