#this is going to be a great year

Tumblr brought back the boops on my birthday we’re so back

[un-nonymous]

4:33, still at it. Will this be an all-nighter? Just for not being sleepies?? That would be so stupid, but it might be. (My alarm is set for 5:30am tomorrow/most workdays, and would you believe I hit snooze for like an hour, every fucking day, and Matt still wants to marry me??)

My nose will not stop leaking and I can’t figure it out. It’s really bad. I have Kleenex just stuck up there, I’m coughing, my eyes are watering too. I am a vision right now.

My phone just alerted me to ask how rested I felt when waking up today. Cruel and unusual.

I also meant to post this photo in my last post but I can’t figure out how to replace, also why not just do a second one anyway? Yes we have better pictures but those aren’t for blogs, they’re for aunts and uncles. We are considering “��””engagement photos”””” but we’re in our mid/late 30s and we’re so awkward, you guys. I’d want to find a coach to help me learn how to pose and smile and not hate the outcome. I’m 37, it’s fine. My face here is not ideal and would you believe this is a Walmart bathroom? Anyway, that’s what I look like as a fiancée who drove for 7 hours straight (15 total) and braved the Iowan highways in an early snowstorm after the sun went down just to see our goofy families and celebrate with them and I guess talk about Christmas a bit too.

Welcome (back) to my blog where I write about the tissues stuck up my nose and complain about my face in the same selfie pose I’ve been using for as long as I surrendered to the concept of a camera phone.

I’m going to go take a nap on the couch before I *actually* have to get up for work. It’s 700 degrees cooler down there. I expect to have the best 42-minute sleep of my life and will definitely not wake up in a terrible mood. Tomorrow will not suck at all.

If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.

Alright guys here's some food for thought- if fantasy high got an animated adaptation like vox machina, who would you want to voice some of the NPCs? Alternatively, which NPCs would you want brennan to continue to voice?

[lemon-wedges]

Behold thou art fair, my beloved, behold thou art fair..let me see thy face, let me hear thy voice. For thy voice is harmonious and thy face enchanting, thou has ravished my heart...thy lips drop as the honeycomb....thy palate a heady wine that goes straight to my love and flows over my lips and teeth....

After seeing the Book of Bill basically confirm that Ford and Bill are bitter exes, it makes billdip a 100 times hotter for me.
