Just a random woman on the internet. I like books, seeing mushrooms in the wild (they are like flowers but more interesting), and cats.

standard time is superior to DST
DST is over as it should be. I would like if it never came back and we stayed on standard time permanently.

everyone says it for a reason: really important to lock in when it comes to fitness and health. just establishing good habits — regular exercise including strength training, eating a balanced diet — will pay huge dividends
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

Your dental fillings? Plastic. Your aligners? Plastic. Your floss, your toothbrush, your night guard?? Anyway the dentists are talking about it now so thought I'd mention it too (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Modern Dentistry Is a Microplastic Minefield
Dentists and orthodontists depend heavily on plastics and are beginning to weigh the tradeoffs.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

If a stranger posts about how happy a silly little pleasure made them and your response is to be an asshole and make fun of them it’s time to re-examine your whole life.
It’s 2025. We no longer shit on other people’s joy if it’s not hurting anyone else. This is loser behavior.

We left the lodge at 5AM today to look for this fancy boy and I managed to spot him. 😁Resplendent Quetzals are considered near-threatened due to habit loss. And that tail is real, no April Fools joke here. 🪶
