A toast to all of you who’ve endured holiday time with negative, transphobic, homophobic, racist, misogynist, and xenophobic people, and made it out knowing that you’re making the world a better place while they’re spitting into the wind.

It was missing a little sweetness bc I didn’t use carrots (allergic), so I’ve got to find a substitute. Parsnips maybe?? Anyway, yummy

Adult challenge: I had someone point out to me something I was doing wrong professionally, but they did it in such an aggressive, patronizing, smirking way that I refused listen. Now I’ve decided to address it and thank them for pointing it out, but boy oh boy, do I not want to.

A gaggle of 9-10 year old girls at my house for a post-Halloween candy swap / hang out. So much screeching like they’re on fire. So much drama. So much “I’m bored. Find me something to do!” I’m hiding upstairs marking student projects, which is preferable to supervising

I was going back through my retweets and likes, looking for a link, when I realized that I’d never be hired for a job that required quiet, moderate, discrete politics. Good.

Catching up on Poldark S3 and, as a biologist, the whole “pond full of toads” storyline is driving me mad.

What’s all this honking for in St Malo? Did some sports ball person do a point thingy? #sarcasm

I just got the nicest compliment/advice ever, when discussing with my boss how to handle a problematic grad student: “You exude confidence and competence, and they are trying to challenge you. You should be less quiet about your capabilities”. #goodadviceforeveryone
