I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.

Wife: you better not have found the peace of wild things again. Have you been in the woods? Me, serenely chewing on a stick: no

I now somewhat regret all my past tendencies to categorize my books into things like "Fantasy" or "History" instead of "Things That Will Give Me A Panic Attack While Everything Is On Fire" and "Things That Might Not Make Me Freak Out Much"

Every year, millions of Americans are born without the Knowing When You’re Standing Right in the Fucking Middle of the Grocery Store Aisle gene. Incurable, unfortunately
