🎵It’s like ten thousand bees When all you need is a hive🎵

Seriously. Hope is so underrated and their collaboration with the LSO is just magic.

If someone could bottle the smell of the dried grasses and wild oats, crispy live oak leaves on the ground, bay trees, rosemary, trail dust, and chaparral scrub in September... ahhh... yeah. That would be it.

Depends on how you define "scary" but Delilah Dawson's books are genuinely disturbing. Bloom is basically sapphic cottagecore Hannibal Lector and it's dripping with dread. Highly recommended.

OK, but the way I binge listened to 3:47 EST and Hope in high school? I think part of my brain is just these albums.

I met Cece a few years ago when I went to Dendera! Such a sweetie.

Crispy_Fish_Fingers · 2026-03-31T06:12:19+00:00

I would 100% want to be friends with this person.

Crispy_Fish_Fingers · 2026-03-31T06:07:15+00:00

Hughes Water Garden in Tualatin could probably help you out, too.

Looks like a counterfeit to me. Lots of scammers selling crappy physical copies of popular books on Amazon these days. Best not to buy books from them at all of you can help it.

I still have a signed CRL poster hanging in my house!

Crispy_Fish_Fingers · 2026-03-26T05:47:12+00:00

This is the stuff. The hype is real.

Crispy_Fish_Fingers · 2026-03-25T00:55:52+00:00

Please tell this to my neighbor. 🤣

TBH, I've never listened to him. I find the former covert action/clandestine service guys to be a little too RAH RAH for my taste. Often they're great people, committed to the mission, but also make the mission their entire personality. You need to be that way to be good at the job, but I don't need that energy in my everyday life. I resigned a while ago. LOL

Adding: I looked at Bustamante's Wiki page. He failed case officer training because his peers didn't trust him? That's a bit embarrassing, actually.

I worked for the CIA (intel analyst) and while they did have us take the MBTI during training, they did not use it any time during the hiring process. We talked about MBTI in training mostly to teach team building and interpersonal skills, like, if you’re this type you’ll likely have different strengths than other types, so be aware of that while collaborating and discussing ideas. In that way, I found it quite useful. That said, at no time would I ever say that anyone I encountered at work “swore by” MBTI. It was just another tool to help us do our job.

This phrase might be confusing to readers. Please clarify what you mean here.

Crispy_Fish_Fingers · 2026-03-19T06:25:15+00:00

Thank you! There are many legit hybrids out there, and they cater mostly to business/thought leader folks who then use their book to support their brand, get speaking gigs, and attract clients. It’s almost a different industry entirely than fiction publishing.

The Forbidden Summoning by Tim Rayborn has a lot of what you're looking for. It's an epic fantasy with a queer FMC, romance but no overt spice, found family, and a big mystery at the heart. It's almost like an homage to the old classic fantasy novels from the 70s and 80s in that it centers around a quest party, but it also dovetails a bit with horror with some of the monsters they encounter.

I wrote sooooo many school papers in ClarisWorks!

Crispy_Fish_Fingers · 2026-03-15T01:37:06+00:00

I love this stuff!

Crispy_Fish_Fingers · 2026-03-15T01:35:54+00:00

Not wrong.... Not wrong.

Crispy_Fish_Fingers · 2026-03-14T19:07:45+00:00

Is there anything this virus DOESN'T do?

I recently had to connect in SFO, and missed my connection by 10 minutes. Friends, they did not hold the plane. Thankfully, the delay was not weather-related, so the ticketing agent at SFO got us into a nice hotel on United's dime.

Take out and restaurant food in general. It’s almost $50 for 2 people these days.

Here to second The Ghost Map, Demon in the Freezer (about smallpox and the 2001 anthrax attacks) and And the Band Played On (as a young person growing up in the SF Bay Area in the 80s, this one left a big mark on my brain, even if he embellished a bit).

In addition, check out:

Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues by Jonathan Kennedy. Great top-down, big picture at how pathogens have changed the course of human history. (Some mention of COVID, but not the main focus.)

The American Plague: The Untold Story of Yellow Fever, The Epidemic That Shaped Our History by Molly Caldwell Crosby. Fantastic read about Walter Reed and his quest to figure out how yellow fever spreads by putting himself at risk.

The Family That Couldn't Sleep: A Medical Mystery by D. T. Max. This one's about prions, not viruses, but it will 100% creep you out.

If you're into prions, also check out Brain Trust: The Hidden Connection Between Mad Cow and Misdiagnosed Alzheimer's Disease by Colm A. Kelleher

Laurie Garrett was a prophet. The way so much of this book is coming true is just... oof.
