Urgh. I tried to post the Feb garden update here, but due to Technical Issues(TM) this will be delayed until next week. In the meantime, I spent an hour on a bibliography + page numbers today for a resource for work (super excited about this upcoming unit on food sustainability, woo!), which chewed up most […]

Random biology this week, since I feel like we haven’t done that in a while. Today, we’re talking about this critter: In most of Australia, we call them Slater beetles or Slater bugs, but they have a whole host of names around the world – often riffing on the ‘bug’ theme. HOWEVER. I just discovered

All the things in the works. Inkprint has acquired a new author (much squee), I’ve had an acceptance for some non-fiction articles that you’ll hear about closer to the time, and might have some new serial fiction for y’all to read in a bit too through another website. Basically, here I am, vaguely squeeing about
I swear, I had something useful to say here today, and then Life Happened and now I’m brainless and ready for bed and Friday. It was something to do with Sunday? I don’t even know.

I took nine years of clarinet lessons from elementary school through high school. Of course I was in the band. The band gave concerts, despite the fact that there were times when we sounded pretty awful. We didn’t get paid. If we were lucky, our parents showed up to listen to us perform. There were

Because I have found Fun Things recently, and if you really expect me to write a thinky post between Christmas and New Year’s, you’re madder than I am. 1) Nine traits of creative people. This is, somewhat surprisingly, a very insightful article that made me sit back, smiling, and give the happy sigh of the
