When your daughter gets to a certain age, it’s time for “The Talk”—explaining that if she comes into superpowers and is responsible for halting the apocalypse, she must tell you so that you don’t repeatedly ground her for sneaking out to save the world.

I can cross “Interviewed About Ghosts as a Cultural Phenomenon” off my list. Article includes spookily blurred portrait of me. (Or am I naturally out of focus…?)

@FireEyes66 @Aryn_singer_617 @yesallcrops Yes! I have seen so many well meaning folks (and health care workers who should know better) wearing cloth or hospital masks and I have to actively stop myself from explaining what aerosol transmission means.

Hey #publichealth, #anthrotwitter, and other #Medical folks, does anyone know of an up-to-date source for #coronavirus trivia? Or anyone who has used a #COVID trivia game in class?

[Carie Little Hersh @Anthro_CLH]

Is it possible to have a spirit instrument?

Did not realize that the LOTR character that best prepared me for motherhood was Grima Wormtongue

[Carie Little Hersh @Anthro_CLH]

The Jane Austin character I most closely identify with is Mr. Palmer in Sense and Sensibility, who just wanted everyone to stfu so he could read.

This semester has been a comedy of errors without the comedy.

An owl in its natural habitat—a university campus

[Carie Little Hersh @Anthro_CLH]

He’s a 10, but he steeps your black tea for like 15 minutes

[Carie Little Hersh @Anthro_CLH]

@leighthinks Following, as I’m in the exact same pickle.

[Carie Little Hersh @Anthro_CLH]

@1goodtern I saw this exact thing happen yesterday. I’ll just leave this right here.
