On the radio this morning: spotted lanternflies! 6 years ago, state officials urged folks to squish them on sight. NOT ANYMORE! To find out why, tune in to WYPR at around 9:45!

What was happening at WYPR... before it was WYPR?
Decades before broadcast radio was even a thing, our Baltimore address was the home of SUNNYSIDE: "A PRIVATE HOME for the treatment of DISEASES OF WOMEN."
What did that mean? It's unclear.

Did you know that some snakes have claws? I DID NOT! But yesterday, I met a couple snakes while recording a segment for Friday's radio show. World Snake Day is Sunday at Irvine Nature Center! I can't wait to share this story with you!

Went to Liberty Reservoir today. So many signs saying "no swimming" (I have always wanted to, but I'm a good girl and I do as I'm told). But at one place there were a lot of police and apparently someone went swimming there yesterday and disappeared. Reasons to do as I'm told

This was at work, btw. Over the last 2 decades in this job, I have become INCREDIBLY accustomed to seeing people pee here.

I dreamed I was in NZ, doing an undersea adventure film with Sam Neill. They compensated me with a giant bag of edibles. To get them back to the states, I bought a stuffed penguin & put them inside it. I later realized the penguin was alive. Here is a song about that dream, from the penguin's view.

Went on a lovely hike at Soldiers Delight today!
It was so weird! Fellow hikers seemed to know something about me? They kept stopping me to tell me that they "knew". One told me she'd keep it secret. I wonder what that was about?

Ok, I did *almost* win it once! But that was under my deadname, and I feel the need to censor it before sharing it.
