Each episode covers a specific topic of study, and you hear from people who are absolutely IN LOVE with their specific field. There’s an episode on the study of squirrels, and it made me appreciate them so much more. Episodes are on Spotify and probably elsewhere.

Alie Ward interviews ”ologists” (or scientists/specialists) of every topic under the sun. Each guest on the show is so passionate about what they do and it’s a really fun way to learn a lot about super niche topics!!

A simple educational podcast where the host (Alie) asks a series of professionals on each episode about their practices/work/fields (hence -ologies).

I first shaved my head in 2017 because I wanted to do something bold with my body, something I had considered for 2 whole weeks before just doing it. Now, I haven’t cut my hair since November 2024 and my hair is in the pixie stage. When people, usually women, ask me about cutting my hair, I always tell them to do it at least once because it’s so liberating to reclaim your body in a very obvious but temporary way. It’s also nice to not worry about extensive care and maintenance. I’m not sure if I’m going to like having long hair again, but I’m going to give it another try.

I had last Friday off work, and I decided to really treat myself. First, I spent my early afternoon in Greenpoint where I got a mani-pedi (something I haven’t done in years), and a yummy brunch across the street; walked to our favorite stationery store (Yoseka!) and got some little things; took the train to 8th Ave in Manhattan and walked south to the West Village; sat at the Stonewall Memorial for a bit listening to music; went to use the restroom at Stonewall where I stayed for a beer (and made a friend from out of town!); walked to the IFC Center to watch “Armand” (great Norwegian film); finishing off my day with an easy dinner at home. Best day ever in a long time❤️
