Optimistic Nihilist, trying to stay optimistic despite the evidence (sometimes because of). I <3 women and microbes.

For February, instead of reposting posts that may mirror my anger and frustration, I will look for a solution or a resource that can help us move in the opposite direction from whatever issue is causing the anger, even if it's by a seemingly insignificant amount. Baby steps.

You should be ashamed of yourself, calling yourself a reliable news source and then owning up to mistakes

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025.

There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

Slowly learning how to style my hair. Trying really hard not to cut it all off, again.

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once:

- Things are going to get worse, no matter what

- The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today

I think we can change the world by having protected bike lanes and secure bike parking everywhere.

Notable mention: This exhibit about jesters. Such an interesting story, from biblical origins (sight) to modern day fools. Fear of the power of women has definitely been present through all the stages.

Finally leaving Instagram. Starting with a visual recap of this winter break.
