Husbando convinced me to finally put up my diplomas when we moved in here, and they hang with his over the "lilypad." So I'm acting out "What Does The Fox Say" and headbanging with a mom bun in sweats under the bemused eye of my PhD fjdjdnndns I guess I'm living my best life too

Having a dance party with my two toddlers to the Arcane soundtrack on a sectional couch we arranged in a 2x4 grid to make a giant "lilypad" in our TV room. These kids are living their best lives 🥰🥹😂

I'm one of the people who decided in June 2020 that this was the year I was going to write (and finish) my first novel (and I did, with a few days of December to spare!) And then I never stopped....

Thanks to everyone surfacing this in my skyline I went in and looked for the setting, couldn't find it, reloaded Libby and there it was! Glad to be able to turn this off, even if publishers and authors are maybe being dishonest little shits about it. It's better than nothing.

"[Comics] cases were associated with lower perceived cognitive load, lower mental demand, lower frustration or stress, and higher intrinsic motivation than text-based cases. Perceived performance did not differ significantly between groups." #GraphicMedicine pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42874959/
Fig. 1 Example excerpts of the clinical case material used in the study. The same clinical situation was presented either as a conventional text-based case (A) or as a graphic narrative (B). The figure illustrates how patient context, symptoms, medication-related information, and clinical cues were conveyed across the two formats. Panel B is an English translation of the original French graphic narrative published in Picard N, Roubeau V. Réviser la pharmacologie en BD. De Boeck Supérieur; 2025. Reproduced and translated with permission from De Boeck Supérieur. Illustrations by Vincent Roubeau (Vrob). A[…/ One of your regular patients comes to the pharmacy on a Sunday morning with her aunt, Mrs A, aged 91 years, who is visiting her family for the holiday weekend. Because of vomiting and abundant respiratory secretions for the past 15 days, her physician prescribed esomeprazole and metopimazine 8 days earlier. Mrs A’s niece is worried: first, the treatment does not seem to be very effective; second, her aunt had a “fainting episode” this morning. …].

(We are lucky that we have about as good insurance as one can get these days, so we were able to get an in-network appt outside of that system, but state plans would have limited us to that system. Even that provider has patients see an optometrist first for triage as their schedule is so full.)

The state of American healthcare: currently you cannot get an appt w/ a pediatric opthalmologist in the medical system our pediatrician is in with less than an 18mo wait. You genuinely cannot even schedule it. If your kiddo fails their 1yr eye screen, that's the critical period for intervention.

Happy book birthday to @rachelkitch.bsky.social's incredible STEM horror, THE FOREST BLEEDS. I devoured this book in a single sitting, y'all, and I HIGHLY recommend it. Read an excerpt here and go buy a copy todaaaaaaaay thenerddaily.com/the-forest-b...

Read An Excerpt From 'The Forest Bleeds' by Rachel Kitch | The Nerd Daily
A speculative horror-romance that combines the magical dark academia of The Atlas Six, the unsettling atmosphere of Mexican Gothic, and the psychosexual power dynamics of The Last Housewife.

When I was still in K-12, the flu shots they gave in school (I always got mine at the dr's) were needle-free, a CO2 cartridge firing it through the skin. Is that still a thing? I haven't heard of that in a number of years now...

just because it made me happy and I thought it was extra pretty in the fog: my (back) yard’s past and present state; pics taken about 8 years apart
A blank green patch of sod surrounded by a wood privacy fence.An oasis that somebody actually cares about - pic taken from roughly the same angle, but now it’s all trees, flowers, and a paver pathway leading to a round patio. The fog-shrouded trees in the background make it look so nice, tho.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

kiddo has started to request more and more songs to be sung to him before bed and nap time, and at some point one's well of musical inspiration runs dry...which is how it comes to pass that I am standing at the top of our stairs listening to husbando sing "In The End" by Linkin Park as a lullaby
