You are the only one I know who is still wordleing, other than me.

First of all, there is no way you've seen Bluey more times than I have. Second of all, I think the show itself is mistaken about Bandit's credentials. They say he's an archeologist but every time he's shown in a work-related context, there are bones.

And which one is Bandit, Alex??

I gave an academic librarian a problem he couldn't immediately solve this week and he was downright gleeful about the whole situation. "Make a librarian happy by puzzling them" is a bingo square you can check off, folks.

University IT guys of Bluesky: Are you REQUIRED to neg my choice of laptop model when I bring it in for "compliance issues" or is that just a personal choice? Asking for an enraged 40-something.

I pointed out that it was free to watch them lose at home instead of live but apparently, that's not part of the decision making in this case.

Yeah, John really shat the bed on this one. There is literally a giant, framed cross section of a dig in the living room with bones embedded in it.

Local candidate for mayor of our town just alleged that council misspent money intended for roads on pickleball instead. Given the Venn diagram overlap between the demographics of A) pickleball players and B) municipal election voters...

There was a Pokémon pinball machine at the Costco today and Rosemary asked me it was. I told her and then started singing "Pinball Wizard" to her but she screamed so loud at me to stop that people were looking. I guess she's more of a "Teenage Wasteland" fan.

My 4 year old is playing with her Magnatiles. The horse is a daddy horse, the cow is a mummy cow. I asked her what the chicken was and she said "George". Behold, the three 3 genders: mummy, daddy, and George

Not 0 but the 1995 federal election was one for the books. Conservatives reduced to 2 seats and no longer an official party.

Guys, I'm starting to lose it. I'm working on my SSHRC Insight application and I am 1/6 for Insight submissions. I'm looking at my most significant contributions document and I'm about to write "Gillian Anderson talked about my book on her podcast." Someone tell me this is a bad idea...

My 4 year old is clearly being taught some beginning meditation strategies at JK: "Breathe in, Mummy!" It's kind of annoying, but it will probably be good for everyone in the household in the long run.

Request! I am the advisor for a group at VU for women interested in psych. We are hosting a virtual event in October and are looking for speakers who could give a 15-20 minute talk on a panel about the psychology of crime. We are especially interested in work that involves women victims/offenders.

Got an email from a co-investigator about a SSHRC Insight submission where the PI asked everyone to validate their participation and literally said "This means you, Dana."

Mental health clinicians: "Let's endlessly debate all possible meanings of hugging a client and dogpile on anyone who questions the orthodoxy." My physiotherapist: "I'm going to strap my midsection to your hip using this seatbelt device and then I'm going to stick my butt out to create the stretch."

Almost always. My irrational, one-sided hatreds are legion.

It's genuinely not that interesting. I asked if they would carry my book and they treated me like a wannabe self-publishing author. The only reason I posted is that John clocks these things so well now (that all my feuds are completely one-sided).

A colleague asked me for a favour. She gave me a few more details and I accidentally typed "That's fine, no" when I meant to type "That's fine, np."

PREGNANCY INTERRUPTED, reviewed in The New Yorker: "There are a seemingly infinite number of ways that pregnancy can be misunderstood, mislabelled, or oversimplified, whether because of deceptively binary tests or cultural narratives that tell us pregnancy is a linear experience.”

newyorker.com

The Unsettling Ambiguity of Early Pregnancy

Binary tests offer an illusion of certainty, but pregnancy is a nonlinear experience, and confirming one is a process of slowly ruling out all other possibilities.
