The Introvert Urge To Say “no Worries Either Way” When You’re Actually Worrying Both Ways Plus

Listen if the study of ancient humans doesn’t make you at least a little bit emotional idk what to say.

I started crying today at the museum because they had reconstructed the shoes of Otzi the iceman.

Either he or someone he knew who cared about him made these shoes out of grass and bear skin and twine and he was wearing them when he died over five thousand years ago.

And a Czech researcher and his students did reconstructions of these shoes and wore them to the same place where he died to test them out and they were like yep! These shoes are really cozy and comfy and didn’t give us blisters while hiking!

Is that not just the coolest shit ever????

Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.

I know there is a lot of discourse (tm) around this right now but listen to me

sometimes you do just have to lie to children.

I'm emotional ok

Radishes are overachievers

Some fiction podcasts I have listened to and enjoyed:

- Midnight Burger

- The White Vault (🦷)

- Hello from the Hallowoods

- Secret of St. Kilda (Maebh de Brun the woman you are)

- VAST Horizon

- Fathom/Derelict

- The Unpredicted Party

- Trice forgotten

- the No Sleep Podcast

- Old Gods of Appalachia

If I was a teacher, I would make a list of false statements and then have my kids write a paper proving that the statement is false. Examples of false statements might be:

[State Im teaching in] has no Rowen trees.

Singapore outlawed the sale of teriyaki sauce

The word biscuit comes from bi meaning two and cuit meaning baking pan

Wearing your hair in pigtails can cause head cancer

A turtle sheds its shell like a hermit crab

Because all those things are kinda hard to disprove and it teaches kids research and misinformation and how to build a case. Also theres lots of ways they could find 'proof'

hey. don’t cry. carpenter&hayward best friendship okay? people’s capacity for persevering compassion and connection okay?
