Well, in addition to the usual calls from folks who want to kill anyone who likes stuff that they don’t, this NY Post article included a quote from me about how the unregulated supply is actually the problem - check it out: msn.com/en-us/health/o…

As I get closer and closer to my grant proposal’s due date the proportion of potato skins I eat compared to other foods continues to sharply increase. Now, in the final 2-week stretch, potato skins are the only thing I eat.

I have NEVER been able to log into a journal’s website without having to change my password. Whatever password populates the text field is always wrong – even if I just changed it the day before. Is it a plot?

I like Mike Tyson even more now that he's in Bauhaus: "We’re nothing. We are dead. We’re dust. We’re absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing." - Mike Tyson

I got a test pressing of my book-called a galley. Out in April 2025, you can pre-order. Because of low vision, I was late to reading & still have trouble spelling. I read my first real book when I was 16. I never thought I'd be responsible for writing 1 amazon.ca/Crackdown-Surv…
