The train station is a three minute walk from our flat so WHY do I always leave fifteen minutes early 😤

I ordered two narrow shelves from ikea, had to wait AGES for replacements when they arrived demanded, and finally assembled them two days ago only to realize I ordered the wrong depth 🫠

Obsessed with my newest Lumibricks set… it’s called Soa Cabin but basically an Icelandic cottage… complete with outdoor sauna, hot springs, and a backyard rink.

Darwin is really determined to share Ripley’s box.

It’s going… okay.

So in order to encourage creativity, I told my genetics students they needed to have more than a standard PowerPoint for their final project

Which is how we ended up with a presentation on tardigrade genetics delivered entirely in rhyming couplets

christmas has gotten so far from its religious roots, wish we could celebrate our holidays like medieval christians (cross-dressing, being told by the bishop to stop cross-dressing, resolutely refusing to stop cross-dressing, threatening the bishop in defense of cross-dressing)
