For this month's Bearblog Carnival topic by Moose, I'll talk about how I assess my infection risk! A little while ago, I wrote "yes, i still wear a mask". In it, I laid out what thought goes into wearing it, why I do it, and when I...
Just wanted to give my 2 cents to a post by Yunzi. For posterity and because it's short, here is the post content: Did a search on Bear for 5 of my interests. One of which is my other blog. 4 returned nothing. 1 returned a single other...
You have to learn when a hobby or interest is truly detrimental or if it has just been demonized by the productivity cult. Sometimes people lament that all day they spend time on things they enjoy, but somehow it’s… bad? I understand...

In ‘small thoughts’ posts, I’m posting a collection of short thoughts and opinions that don’t warrant their own post. :) It's been a while! ☁️☁️☁️ Sometimes, people say they felt uncomfortable, like something in their life isn't right,...
Haven't posted pictures in a while! Here's fencing with friends in November. Watch my wife slip and fall (she was alright): My friend holding his plushie eel. Sweet tea set! Some of the nails I had in that time, but currently on a longer...
