The Sting of the Wild | Justin O. Schmidt
post image
Pickpick

I decided to read this after listening to an episode of the podcast Sawbones where they discuss stinging insects. I never imagined I would learn this much about bugs, or that I would enjoy the learning. But here we are, and now I have even more fear (and respect) for stinging things. And this author was insane. I can‘t imagine letting anything sting me just to see how painful it is. But it makes for a good story!

#MonthlyNonfiction2025 June reads @julieclair
Just finished one nonfiction this past month. I'm still working through Monster's Bones, it was a bit slow to start but it's picking up now. Hope to finish it this week.

julieclair Good work. My personal goal is one per month, but I don‘t always achieve it. 3w

I read a wide range of genres, but I‘d have to pick narrative nonfiction. I do so love a well-written nonfiction account that educates me about a person, event or topic while entertaining me at the same time.

Maybe Harvard needs to lend the head of the Department of Education an APA, MLA or some other writing manual. This was the letter that the Department of Ed sent Harvard. They marked it up, like any good professor or higher level of education school would do. They sent it back to her & then posted it on line. This is my level of petty.

AmyG I just saw this. I‘d cry if I wasn‘t laughing so much. 3mo
MemoirsForMe @ncsufoxes @AmyG This post and Amy‘s comment made my day. 🙌🏻 3mo
ncsufoxes I was just thinking about it too, do they not use Microsoft Word? I mean the editing tool on MSW would catch these mistakes & correct them. Either they were adamant about getting their point across & ignored the corrections or their assistant is just as incompetent. Glad to know the original letter will be entered into government archives 🤫 3mo
DogMomIrene Hmm, looks like the Department of Education used that A1 Sauce to write their letter😂🤣 3mo
