late-mid-career ecology prof, knitter and quilter, fan of cartoons and other non-grown-up stuff. Opinions are only my own. You might know me from other places based on Acerbic Otter or the fillyjonk handle I use some places. (She/her, if that's important for you to know).

I am Guess Culture rather than Ask Culture and I am Pointy rather than Round. I give too many hard effs about what other people think and feel so I often fall in a hole of self doubting

Welp, either bluesky broke for me or I got kicked off it without being told I was

Only a few of my friends are still here

it's supposed to 110F here today, something like the 75th day over 100 this summer.

I just want to lie down and die. I can't cope with this heat any longer.

Ah I guess a few of my moots from the other place have migrated here now. Maybe I need to pop in occasionally here again

just feeling really hard how alone I am this afternoon

yes I have online friends but that's an awfully thin broth to try to exist on, and then there's turmoil in online spaces (all of them right now), it feels like being a child of divorce

(this part of the country, no one understands that uncoupled people exist/knows what to do about them/maybe hates them? All I know is it's v. hard being as single as I am)
