@Lord_Forbington @FefchakIan I love my copy of the creationist edition of Origin! It's such like...a novelty item. 160+ years later and still controversial.

Time to inflate your trusty FACE BALLOON!

Use your “ptilinum” (pronounced til-lie-numb). That fleshy sac you can pump body fluid into and pop out of your face!

Normalizing parenthood at work. I am up front about not traveling or missing late afternoon meetings for family reasons - it’s been good for me, and hopefully for the more early career department members and students and PDFs as well. https://t.co/mexOAEoQSN
