Feels like we have to somehow escape from the triangle of options available, which seem to be: male loneliness, toxic male homosociality, or compulsory patriarchal heterosexuality

I do also notice in sci-fi and fantasy books when the population dynamics make no sense

not much of a movie guy, but my PhD does allow me to instantly categorize people when I tell them what I study and they say "oh, like Idiocracy" (bad) vs "oh, like Children of Men" (good)

I did not get to see the placenta the first time, and I am going to make sure I have it on LOCK for them to show it to me this time. I demand to see the creepy temporary blob organ I grew!

I mean the whole thing where it's evolved as a complex battle between your body's survival needs and the fetus's drive to steal as much from you as possible is pretty metal

ok, not a fermentation expert, but looking at the recipe she uses, i feel like it is just salt preserving them, not actually pickling

I can't decide if this is real or if we're just the age to hear about it now. I think maybe both

I could say a lot of less glib things about how and why I made the decision to leave my soft-money academic job and how I feel about it, but not on a Monday ✌️

I don't start until the end of this month, for now I'm just reading Wikipedia pages on Colorado counties when I have insomnia. because of the aforementioned pregnancy, I'm getting through quite a few of them. did you know Las Animas county is named for el Rio de las Animas Perdidas en Purgatorio 👻

Reid was State Demographer, I will be one step lower (there's an estimates demographer and a projections demographer under the state demographer)

Leslie Root @lesja.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

OK idk, feels like as good a time as any to say that I have taken a new job, as population projections demographer for the state of Colorado 🎉

Can't say whether I saw An American Tail or Alice in Wonderland first but they both really scared me
