Downton Abbey season three is kind of sucky.

If I pet the cat while she is washing, she will stop, look at me with an air of long-suffering patience, and start again the minute I stop.

I don't see any other animals behaving in ways that jeopardize the future of their entire planet & everything on it.

Sometimes I find it hard to believe that humans can consider ourselves, without irony, the most intelligent of animals.

'Previous research has shown that many people do not know chimpanzees are endangered b/c the primates seem happy in TV commercials.'

@merriehaskell Saturdays find me covered in either dough or clay, so I think you're good.

I think I have Gibbs Free Energy pouring out of my ears now, along with some redox and thermochem. Blaaaaahh.

I like the idea of having an international plant day. We would totally not be here if not for photosynthetic organisms.

Remind me what International Women's Day is about? I dunno about you, but my identity isn't closely tied to my sex organs.

Gearing up to write a post on foraging. Turns out there's a big difference between 'edible' and 'remotely tasty.'

Do laundry? Study chem? Trying to figure out priorities today.

@merriehaskell So twee!

Plants are mean. If it's abundant and thriving, it's because it's outcompeting other plants, seducing pollinators, poisoning herbivores, etc

I can't stand the term 'wildcrafting.' As my friend put it, it's like the forest spirits got together and knitted you a plant. Ugh.

Kevin and I polished off an entire pan of kale today. Must tread carefully to avoid becoming Smug Kale Eaters.

Can I get, say, a 10 year booster for my current cat?

Almost four years after I lost my first cat, and my unconscious still hasn't gotten over it. Cats need to come in longer-lived models.
