It had to be done.
The top of a bottle of rose wine. A neutral face emoji with a straight, closed mouth is printed on the top of the cork. The face is punctured with the corkscrew to open the wine.

Never felt so seen by a wine cork.
The top of a bottle of rose wine. A neutral face emoji with a straight, closed mouth is printed on the top of the cork. You must puncture the face with the corkscrew to open the wine.

Proud to see so many of my general biology students show up with signs and friends for our local #StandUpforScience rally at the University of Oregon!
A rally sign that reads defund fascism not science. A rally sign that reads planet over profit. The letter O in over is the planet earth. University of Oregon science supporters gathered at the local Stand Up for Science rally.

Recrudescent. Adjective. That breaks out again; renewing morbid or dangerous activity after abatement, suppression, or cessation. As, a recrudescent boil…(Webster’s, 1934)
A dictionary entry for recrudescent.

If you see this, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.

When it’s your last day in Canada…
Grocery belt with some Canadian favourites: Hawkins cheezies, all dressed Ruffles, Maclarens imperial cheddar. The three kinder surprises will need to be enjoyed before we return to the US.
