A micro-blog, of sorts. Kind of like Twitter if it didn't suck!

The Air Quality Index just hit 230 in my area from the Canadian wildfires which I think makes it officially worse than the last time this happened in 2023... thinking about the poem I wrote at the time and how much it feels like we've learned nothing and in many ways slid backwards since then.

The whole process of updating the site again has made me realize that the fun of this is really in the making layouts for me. I think this means that when I get the urge to redo the layout again I should channel that into making a shrine or some other page with a unique layout instead of redoing every single html file again... we'll see if I hold myself to that.

Damn, everyone was really right about ADHD meds not working around your period. Between this and the heat advisory I don't know if I'm going to get any actual work done this week.

*through gritted teeth* the negative feedback on this paper is just because my PI wants it to be good. the fact that he has criticism for me does not mean that he wants me to die and leave his lab forever. the PDF with all the comments is more scared of me than I am of it.

I really should remember this page exists when I have the urge to make a two-note flop post on Tumblr.

Anyways I've been falling down the self-improvement YouTube rabbit hole lately and god I want to change up my entire life... trying to rein myself in and only change the things I can but. Hough do I want to do a lot.

So remember everything I said about wanting to update the site more often than once every six months? Lol. Lmao, even.

Can't believe I left the site remodel half-done, whoops. Thankfully I left the to-do list for myself so I can just start picking things off there and doing them I guess.

I really want to make some more blog posts but I've got a somewhat high-stakes email I really need to send. Need to stop using this site as an excuse to procrastinate but I Don't Wanna. Augh.

So you can't sell wine in grocery stores in my state, but I was in a CVS today and saw them selling wine. How is selling it at a pharmacy legal if you can't sell it at the damn grocery store??

The bottles were labeled as "wine product" instead of just "wine" so maybe that had something to do with it... I know the laws about what can actually be labeled and sold as wine are pretty strict.
