And yes, I waited a whole year to make the dragon make a 5, because deep down, it knew something would come from behind and was ready the whole time ;)

I know people who work at NASA Goddard whose offices have already been destroyed over the past two months, in some cases without even being able to remove their work or belongings.

Why such careless destruction?

Note that the Trump administration is bringing in bulldozers and is in the process of tearing down half of the buildings on the NASA Goddard campus, including this library.
While a 2022 plan had called for a few buildings to be replaced, the Trump administration is *only* destroying them.

My hot take is that if you are in the position to ILL materials from the library, do so and then just not give it back after the facilities close, which is marginally better than it getting thrown in a dumpster.*

When your coach is someone you knew at 15, and most people you knew then are dead, trust me, that’s a gift! I did some goodly talks and still got the stories out there – and there’s a lot to come in 2026. 7.

And yet, I also managed an edited volume, several papers, and the greatest gift of temping in Mary I. Limerick is a lady. Her inhabitant’s are the ladies and gents of life itself. Thank you.

Sometimes I’d like to write warm and witty replies to people on social media but I am too tired and just place a ‘like’, to let them at least know I saw it, and appreciated their communication. I’ve doubted myself all year, likely in proportion to being broke.Just kept whistling in the dark 5.

I juggled ( and still am juggling) intense carer duties for an increasingly angry mother who is fighting her own battle with loss of mobility, plus a poorly little dog I know is not getting any younger. Nobody was neglected, which is something.3.

It was quite a year,2025. Not necessarily in a good way, the way you’d say, well, what amazing growth and empowerment I gained from that year. It was more that you keep reciting the ‘Hope is a sewer rat’ poem , until you feel you’ve grown whiskers and a tail.
There were so many job rejections 1.

Let's talk about the history of champagne bottles, the myth of Dom Pérignon & how England invented modern champagne.

Dom Pierre Pérignon was a French Benedictine monk (1638-1715) who influenced French viticulture.

And, ironically for someone associated with it, he tried to PREVENT champagne.

Fun fact: "Lovers' Walk" in Cork has nothing to do with amorous feelings, but is a jingle-jangle mis-translation of Siúl na Lobhar "lepers' walk", i.e. the area into which leprous people were confined, just like in Lepers' Town.

See my proposal for an etymology at www.academia.edu/42199000/Old....
After the semantic shift of lobur from "sick" to "leprous", a new word for "sick" had to be created in Irish, namely tinn (originally: "severe").
