Inspiring, amazing, and I fully love it. It's so wonderfully creepy and perfectly executed. ♥️

If you'd asked me which celebrity would posthumously unveil a list of people she wanted fired into the sun, I would not have guessed Jane Goodall

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Just saw a clip of 2 women rating themselves as cheeses (they went with blue cheese and goat, respectively).

I would like to play.

On the cheese scale, I'm going with a Dubliner white cheddar. Aged, a little sweet, equal parts complex and nutty.

What's your cheese?

Burger King and Weinerschnitzel both use AI to take their drive thru orders?! Is that the norm now?

Definitely won't go to either of them again. I'm not anti AI, it's just, there's got to be better uses for it. I'm having difficulty justifying all the energy used so I can order a hot dog.

This resonates with me and I wanted to share it.

A picture of text from someone called "brightwanderer" that reads as follows, "I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like, if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy, but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage was good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage.

The only acceptable "win condition" is " you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" or, alternately, a "pity" that you don't do that thing anymore. A fandom is "dying" because people have a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things. I just think that something can be good and also end. That thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all."

Reason 3492 to visit the U.K.? Adorable moths camouflaging as sticks!
Picturing some kind of high-fae experience where I'm walking through a sparsely wooded area and a bunch of these moth cuties come fluttering off a tree to make friends with me.

Pic of me from 7 years ago today! Not much has changed. Still a dork.

Construction on Mars takes a leap forward

Inhabiting Mars has long been a futuristic fantasy fueled by science fiction. However, successful landings over the past half-century have made this seemingly far-fetched idea increasingly plausible.

Confirmed with my teen- this is in fact proper current usage. Basically, the old meaning remains, but a lot of people have started using "raw dog" for anything you do without coverage.

I love the way language evolves. Hearing a news anchor on a national broadcast say, "One thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram because their devices have all been confiscated. I believe the kids call it rawdogging." Absolutely beautiful. I cannot stop laughing.

Ben Caplan.

Guys.

I want to compare him to Leonard Cohen or Tom Waits, but that's unfair. His sound is similar but definitely distinct.

Dark, beautiful, fun, and clever.

Here, have a taste.

I thought this little cutie was a worm flushed out by the rain! Gently moved him from the walkway to a flower bed so he wouldn't get stepped on.

I *think* it's a sharp-tailed snake? fully basing that off a Google image search though. Could be wrong.

Small, thin, light brown snake. Resembles a very large nightcrawler (worm).

Oh wow... Going through old accounts for things I want to delete and ran across this!

When my daughter was a toddler, we were playing with a recording program and she asked me to sing a song for her. She was NOT into my interpretation of the prompt.

Help, I'm a Girl!

Playing around with the microphone and J asked me to sing her a song about needing help because I'm a girl. I made up a song for her and she did not like it. The whole time she was shaking her head

I realized on Friday that my "work uniform" has strong 13th Doctor vibes and now I can't unsee it.

I think it's my hair paired with t-shirts and long cardigans. Unsure how to proceed. I don't want to buy new clothes, but I also don't want to feel like I'm unintentionally playing dress up.

Thank you for putting my class size into perspective! Also, hell yeah. You're pushing 15k people educated on 1 topic alone. Impressive!
How do you manage grading for a class size like that? 100% lecture and reading with all assignments online and auto graded? Or?
