I remember what a relief it was not to have that special someone be ME ME ME ME ME every day, all the time, top headline, unavoidable, and everywhere.

Another vet with you, bro.

Pretty much used to this, as a woman, but it's still infuriating and disappointing.

I loved doing lit reviews for my doctoral studies. As a librarian, it felt almost like I was getting away with something that I could spend so much time on a deep deep dive into the search for All Of The Things, and then puzzle the parts together, respond to them, and find the figure in the carpet.

speaking of sous vide... I feel that in a recent video you made passing reference to using an AIO as a sous vide for part of the brewing process. Did I make that up? I have been considering using my Mash & Boil for cheesemaking. Or I could get a sous vide I guess!

Thank you for sharing advice about reading your writing out loud. I am currently a hostage in a group editing environment where we are producing a "statement" for 50k people, and just a simple read-out (which no one will do) makes it obvious that it's descending into gibberish.

As a woman and an Air Force veteran, thank you for your work.
