Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Fun! The notes I took last night in my first practice session turn out to be mostly indecipherable to me today! In quotes: “on and off” (?!?!) WHAT is on and off? Also have useful clinical info like “4 days” and “sleep—new” so this is great. 000
Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I would like to propose that textbooks for fields where grad students are commonly, er, less young should have larger type. Or they could come with those nice flat magnifying squares, like the dictionary. 061
Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Exactly one month from today I leave to take S to college. We are flying into NYC where we will have 2ish days to cavort before making our way north to the Hudson Valley, which looks so beautiful in pictures I am a bit suspicious of it. 130

Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 16/06/2026I have made the mistake of looking at a calendar and it turns out my oldest child leaves for college in 7 weeks. 1200 miles away. To live. 330
Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 17/05/2025I am still on the Playmobil mailing list and it is emotionally too much for me. I love having teens, but I also miss putting together like a 600 piece Kinderhospital or whatever (complete with wee emesis basins!) every birthday. It was a present for BOTH of us! 061
Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 12/03/2025I have a fever so possibly delirious but I have been laughing at this picture for 5 straight minutes. 110

Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 20/09/2024Also youths so kindly and pure. I have been given multiple bracelets and trinkets by adorable strangers. 020
Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 20/09/2024Nothing is sticky?!? This doesn’t seem right, surely. 000
Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 20/09/2024Have taken two teens to Conan Gray concert. This venue is nicer than literally anywhere I saw a show as a youth. 030
Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 20/08/2024I am back at work (from home) because I have no more PTO and cannot afford an unpaid day so nobody had better cross me today. 000
Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 19/08/2024The whole household is sick (except Kai, who got it first and is mostly recovered) and we are all crabby and weepy and filled with despair and I swear at this point if someone told me sleeping with a zucchini up my ass would let me get through a night without coughing I would try it. 100
Alexa Stevenson @alexaflotsam.bsky.social · 19/08/2024I have Covid and it has been less than a week but it feels like it has been one million years and I will never be well again. Was I ever well before? I no longer remember this. 100
Reposted by Alexa StevensonRandall Munroe @xkcd.com · 22/02/2024I recently made a comic complaining that NASA refuses to listen to my good ideas for improving the Solar System (xkcd.com/2750). To my delight, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has sent me an actual expert panel evaluation of my “flatten the planets” proposal! Sadly, they decided not to fund it. 13157951686
