Week 2 is almost in the books at the new job. I'm still trying to physically get back into the swing of things, but a big boon was hearing a coworker down the hall go, "Dallas is so good!" to which my boss' boss replied, "She was highly recommended to us."

A couple of Monterey Jack and Jalapeño taquitos for breakfast is totally fine, right?
I deem it so because one bite into that buttery, crispy tortilla was AMAZING.

I started a new job this week (the federal funding cuts to public media eliminated my previous one), and it has actually pulled me out of my two-month reading slump, which I'm pretty sure was caused by grief.

Just saw a glimpse of the beaver full moon setting this morning, and it's HUGE! If I didn't have to scuttle to work so quickly, I would have stopped for a photo. It genuinely made me do a double take!

I did that thing where I hyper-focused on a task all morning and then left the house without eating. And now I'm sitting in a car, nauseated, because I'm riding on an empty stomach. Bad Dallas!

I'm having one of those work mornings where I feel like I am hitting every ace. Multiple people and pings coming to me from all angles, and I am hitting each one with calm, a smile, and efficient professionalism.

Birthday weekend keeps getting better. One of the C-suite bosses left me tickets for a tennis tournament happening across from our work.
Not only did I get a VIP entry, they escorted me to a comfy tent with whirring fans, comfy seating, and an open bar.

The good thing about watching #Materialists right before bed last night was that Pedro Pascal visited me in my dreams, and he was so kind and cool. (And hot. Yes, very hot.)

When we talk about how important our universities are, these are the kinds of examples that can move Americans who don’t know what universities have to do with them or why they should care.
Sooner, later, or now, we all need one of the lifesaving medicines that these institutions develop.

We set out to quantify U.S. academic contributions to medicines. The results stunned even us
From 2020 to 2024, universities contributed patents underpinning 50% of FDA-approved drugs. 87% of those academic breakthroughs came from American institutions.

That was an intense match to watch live. The momentum shifts, Sabalenka not being able to keep her cool, and Coco riding out the storm. She peaked at just the right moment, and it was a well-deserved win!

After three hours of emptying the nightstand, organizing the contents, throwing tons of randomness out, cleaning under and around the darn stand, I was too hot to eat a late dinner, so I had ice cream instead.
