I think this is a common drone fly. I’m just blown away by the coloration.

My method of getting things to stick in students brains is humor. Dad-joke level humor. The groans mean it’s working.

Few things make my heckles raise as fast as hearing about “women” not “having enough babies”

“Women” because that statement calls forth a very specific image of what a woman is and “not having enough babies” because we’re having exactly as many as we can. For a gazillion reasons.

#flying is the only time I order tomato juice. I don’t know why. It’s just a thing. Probably related to tastebud changes at altitude, and a comforting ritual that quells my #claustrophobia
