there's a lot going on and I'm tired of trying to rush to have well-formed opinions. So I bring you one of my most unshakable opinions, one that I arrived at years ago and hasn't changed: long grapes are the best grapes

These are my daily meds, including an SSRI and an SNRI. I'm thankful and proud to take them.

Me wielding my old SCIENCE sword. Maybe it's time to dust this off. Circa 2014, by my cousin:
A cartoon image with a brown skinned person with black glasses, black hair, and a toothy grin, wielding a sword emblazoned with the word SCIENCE. The cartoon is set off by a circular green background. The bottom of the image reads, fb.com/ksenapathy

It was genuinely so nice outside I was standing on the deck earlier and basking in socks 🧦☀️

(33° f is about 1° c but it feels so good in the sun 😆)

Happy Holidays and Xmas to all who observe ❤️
