I wasn't aware of this, but what good news!

Thank you so much for letting me share this! I’ll definitely be more careful the next time I’m prompted to tip at a church fundraiser

Baking these yummy (but extremely ugly) chocolate chip oatmeal cookies was a fun lesson in chemistry! While assembling the dough, I forgot to add the egg and extract until after I had combined the wet and dry ingredients. I also switched a refrigeration step. The result was flat, ugly cookies 🤷‍♀️

Hello friends! By any chance are you a fan of Pokémon? Are you also raising a kiddo or two? Then you could qualify for this study! Help out research AND gush about your fandom. And don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

What an incredible talent! I spent days trying to redraw the #violetheadedhummingbird and almost lost my mind

My buddy @thisbugistrying.bsky.social wants to watch episodes of the cute show “The Librarians” and talk about them. Would anyone like to join us?

I asked my sister to take a cute picture of me holding a pretty cake and she delivered

Only the greatest best movie ever made (not actually this movie is awful but I’ve watched it maybe 10+ times) #thehunchbackofnotredame2

Our cover this week.

@kelmtay.bsky.social sent me a photo of an #easternbluebird so in return she gets a drawing of an eastern bluebird #bird #birdart

Thank you so much for the opportunity! For anyone interested in learning about Pascha (and why wouldn't you be???), I wrote a guest post about it :)

I miss cute little anthropromorphized mascots and games that were basically busy work but so fun

This has been my most effective reasoning with undergraduates. “Using chat GPT to write for you is like bringing a robot to the gym to do the lift for you”. People understand the purpose of struggle when it comes to sports and athletics. It is useful for translating this principle to other realms.

More #birdart practice. This #bird is a blue-gray gnatcatcher, and while drawing it's ten thousand little feathers I questioned all of my life choices.

You would think after 10 years the pain of losing you would not be so intense. But I still miss you and wish you were here.

This is an interesting piece about the psychological impact of caregiving. As someone forced into the role right out of college (and multiple times since then), I found some parts difficult to read.

After reading this blog post, I may need to reconsider my disdain for all things Disney-adjacent 🍎 Am I just bitter that the stories of my youth no longer transport me emotionally as they once did? happyhagfish.com/2025/04/01/w...

Animation is a caricature of life, not a lesser imitation of it. Remaking cartoons in live-action, or giving the characters realistic proportions, hairs, warts, etc., robs them of the stylized exaggeration that made them appealing in the first place.

Today I made a loud grunting noise at the gym. I have become what I once most hated.

Yes! I’ve been donating to @kqednews.kqed.org for a while now and it’s so worth it to support quality local news! (I love the bay area specific stories)

I had a bunch of deadlines today, so I’m glad I got distracted and did other things

Please clean your room, Kim Possible Album

We had to say goodbye to our family dog, Walter, this past Friday, so I wanted to share a video of him from earlier this year. In this video, I took Walter and the other dogs to the park, and much to Walter’s delight, he saw my dad on his bike ride, and proceeded to lose his mind with joy.

Cool

It’s fascinating that in 1937, the creation of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was considered a massive artistic risk (yet turned out to be a huge success), and now in 2025, the live-action remake is doing everything in its power to be as bland and inoffensive as possible

A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

I watched this entire video thinking “I hope he mentions Project Hail Mary” and he did!

Exposure to heat can alter the way your DNA works, according to a new study. The effects could lead to long-term health outcomes.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Who would have thought there would be a perfect Happy Hagfish post to help you decide what to watch for your movie night (bc we are in our 30s and do not go out to party anymore)??? happyhagfish.com/2022/03/21/t...

My scorching hot take of the day: “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” was a fun movie and I would gladly watch the sequel youtu.be/NNrK7xVG3PM?...

Hey y'all, let’s do our best to make this our most “Popular” episode. @profsuds.bsky.social did an impressive amount of research for this episode and I learned so much!

This blog post may have just been an excuse to rave about “The Terminator” but I stand by it: happyhagfish.com/2022/04/20/1...

Wow, who would have thought that the media literact podcast I’m on with @profsuds.bsky.social would be mentioned in the award-worthy blog, Happy Hagfish, in this post about “The Wild Robot”? #serendipity happyhagfish.com/2025/03/05/i...

Few things set my teeth on edge more than the sound of whistling, and so I hope whichever creative green lit the whistling gopher character in the 1977 film “Winnie the Pooh” has driven exclusively over potholes for the past 50 years

My God: they are selling off federal buildings and no longer planning on collecting revenues. Again, none of this is about efficiency. I know the IRS is not popular, but for every dollar invested it generates about $7 in returns. The goal is not to save money but to stop collecting it.

In this episode @profsuds.bsky.social and I talked about the subtle references to climate-change in “The Wild Robot.” Thanks for letting me take the lead on this one, Andrew! I love this movie and was so excited to discuss it

Can confirm - Terminator 2 is an incredible movie, and I’m honored to have witnessed Kate’s life change

This counts

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
