I'm a queer ecologist (he/him) living in Seattle, with my husband Casey (@gairdeachas). Other passions include hiking, biking, D&D, partner acrobatics, crocheting, woodworking, and science fiction and fantasy.

As I've been trying to cook and clean tonight, I keep stopping and staring off into space. Things clicked this evening on a work problem I'd been struggling with. Give the mind time to wander, and voila! And I'm enjoying thinking through how I want to proceed!

The problem, though, is that because of the data and statistics I'm working with, I'm staring off into logarithmic space. <shudder>

A family told their child today that they were proud of them. I was three corridors away and felt it like sunlight. That's all. That's everything. That's what it means to love someone correctly. #LwaxanaTroi #ProudFamilies #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I’ve been trying, even in the face of ridiculous adversity, to stop complaining.

How am I doing this?

When I see something I love, writing/word I agree with, see creativity in action — I tell the person responsible for that act of love & joy … and that I see them.

“I love that!” Or “Yes! All of this!” could really turn a person’s day around. Think about that when you step out in this less than perfect world today.

*phew!* The name was the same, but fortunately there was nothing about the nightmare-study that's anything like the real one.

I've never had the classic anxiety nightmares about exams or such. But last night I woke from a nightmare where I was launching a big new scientific study -- and last-minute realized a massive, fatal flaw in the experimental design. Like "oh shit, stop the presses, what the fuck was I ever thinking??"

The worst part? Lying awake at 3am, heart pounding, frantically reviewing the nightmare b/c I'm worried it might be a real problem. It claimed to be about the study I'm launching next month!

This sinus infection has some weird symptoms. Like having the song "Great Green Gobs (of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts)" stuck in my head.

Though, to be fair, "weird stuff stuck in your head" is pretty much the definition of a sinus infection....

@alice If you're interested in it (and/or any if the zillion other locks on that fence...), it's across from 1019 Harbor Ave SW. The fish lock is between the two telescopes. Though it wouldn't surprise me if you've already harvested here!
@alice Saw this fun fish-shaped love lock in West Seattle, and I thought of the art project you're collecting locks for!
I get mixing up hawks, eagles, and ospreys. A "sea hawk" is actually an osprey, after all (different family from hawks). But you'd think people would know what an *owl* looks like?
