If you construct a grocery store where I can’t figure out how to enter, and then, once I do, I have to ask someone where the carts are, you have failed spectacularly at design.

Today can fuck right off. Also, why am I outside? Because I ran out of chocolate and oranges.

Decided to go to a different grocery store further away because it has a better chance of the sidewalk being shoveled and I will be outside less.

Nothing like being awake at cold o’clock in the middle of the night so you start online garden shopping. (a fig tree and a planter so I can bring it in for the winter).

I need someone to explain to my why, even though I'm running 2 humidifiers and drying my clothes over a vent, I cannot get the humidity in my house above 38%. My sinuses and nose are OVER it.

Even if you aren’t an academic. This helps in yearly reviews.
Unsolicited advice for academics: every time you agree to do something, immediately make a note of it in a single text file. Updating a CV takes time and therefore isn't something we do often, but it's easy to forget everything you've done. Making a quick note makes it easy to update your CV later.

one of the quiet legacies of the crew of Challenger is STEM education. as a kid, i visited a Challenger Learning Center, one of many established by the families of the crew, and one of my current UAA students is a McNair Scholar. they're still helping others learn about the wonder of our universe.

There’s a trolley stuck in the transit tunnel.

This sounds like the buses have beef and it’s not a detour.

Spent about an hour shoveling 2 feet of snow from my sidewalk BECAUSE THE FUCKING BORO PLOWED ONTO IT. I SHOVELED MULTIPLE TIMES SO THAT I WOULDN’T NEED TO DO THIS.

I would have thought that the hotels on the north shore would have cleared their sidewalks. The parking lots and construction site did.

Found my rechargeable hand warmer. Did not find a usb-a to usb-a cord to charge it.

Effective immediately 🚍 bus/rails service is suspended until start of service 1/26

Fell asleep (couch nap), so went to do the next round of shoveling. A three hour span between is too much.
January 25, 2026 at 7:23 PM
Shovel 2, 2 hours later and it looks like I didn’t already shovel. Ducks had to be refreshed.

Is the new harry styles video paying homage to Christopher walken/fatboy slim?

First shovel done, borough immediately plowed into the sidewalk. My snow duck army is out.
