I wonder how much of my brain power is taken up by remembering the exact layout of grocery stores I haven’t been to in years

What are 5 nature things that make you lose your cool? - Deer (super common but so majestic) - Mimic Octopuses - Redwoods - Elephant seals - Bats

Moving is so embarrassing like all your stuff exposed to the world, uncovering things you haven’t seen in years, begging your movers not to pack your router because you rent it from Verizon

Moving day so we mark the stuff that doesn’t get packed

Nice try, Zuckerberg’s PR team

I’m kind of enjoying how social media is more split now. Reminds me of the days before culture became so monolithic.

There comes a point when we must admit we are never going to use the spare buttons that come with our clothes

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace. It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

Excited to report that I finally kept an orchid alive for long enough to bloom a second time
