Wearing a new corduroy pinafore dress today and it’s bringing me joy. Moral of the story: a woman can never have too many corduroy pinafore dresses.

So glad to have a rain-free 30 mins to get in the garden this morning. Pruning hedges before the birds start to nest.

Congratulations to Sociology.
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.
Great work everyone.

Irrespective of whether there is a crisis, it doesn't make sense that open research has been so oriented around the goal of reproducibility when this goal isn't relevant to all research.
@morphss.bsky.social will be releasing a report next week on how STEM cultures impact open research in AHSS.

Is science really suffering from a reproducibility crisis?
Experts divided over severity of replication problems, as AI “monster” creates different threat.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I’ve never seen a hummingbird (we don’t have them here); that must be amazing. I’ve seen a kingfisher once or twice which is quite a rare thing.

We had that conversation about our cat too. It’s possible that every cat is the most beautiful cat in the world (in which case cat shows are just weird & eugenic)
