It is easy to get swept up in pop culture sentiment – I remember having all of the grief a 14 year old could muster when Kurt Cobain died, much to my chagrin – but this one truly hurts. I’m not sure if I have the words or the eloquence to say why, but here is my little tribute to Dolly Parton.

Neurodiversity in Other Animals
There is a lot of discussion around neurodiversity in humans these days – half my social media feed is now on late diagnosed women entering perimenopause – but is neurodiversity only a feature of the human brain? Can other animals have autism or ADHD? If they were dyslexic, how would we know or even test for it?

Magnesium Supplements
To take or not to take
This conversation began with my sister-in-law, and little did she know it would send me down a rabbit hole. I’ve since had several more discussions on the topic of whether or not a supplement is required and, if so, which one?

Revisiting ADHD and Nutrition Part 1
In an effort to overcome my current and continuous struggles of ennui with my life and writing, edging towards apathy and hopelessness, I’ve decided to revisit something that once left me excited to write, even if a bit frustrated at the end where one tends to drift into that typical grad-student “over-it-ness” and you can’t look at your writing even one more time: my dissertation on nutrition and ADHD.

Imagine being so bad at your job that your legacy is marred by a “shit storm” – a nation plagued with diarrhea.
Amazing.

Jim Thorpe, the Town
I could write about Jim Thorpe, the man, but I have very little knowledge of his life. After having visited the town, a place I’ve been weirdly enamored with since moving back to the U.S., I learned more about Jim Thorpe’s death. Well, more about what happened to him post-death.

A Bookshop for My Girls
Every time we take a walk with our girls, I always wonder the same thing: what are they thinking about?
What do they smell?
What are they experiencing?
I've come to see our walks like taking them to a bookshop or a library.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison
A beautiful and terrifying place. I’m not particularly afraid of heights – although, as I get older, my self-confidence with balance is faltering and my relationship with mobility workouts is intensifying – but this place was not without risk. My brother drove, and this is no knock to his driving, but not having control of the vehicle as we serpentined down the switchback road or along the cliff’s edge, closer than I would have cared to drive, it is hard not to feel a bit uneasy.

The Tree and the Chipmunk
As the demands of summer have presented themselves, I am becoming rather aware at how infrequent my posts are being written and published – not particularly great for readership. Finding the time and willpower to write while on vacation is not something I’ve yet conquered. We recently flew out to Colorado and Utah and saw so many amazing sites, including Arches National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and went to the Aspen area to hike around Maroon Bells, each of which demands its own post, which I will attempt over the coming days. Today, however, I want to talk about chipmunks.
