Hello, socialites, and welcome back to the social studies podcast, the podcast where we study being

social by being social. Today's episode is brought to you by Pauline, because my allergies are

through the roof. I look like I just smoked eight pounds of catnip. And no, that's not me just

saying catnip instead of saying weed so you can draw to your own conclusions. I look like I've

been smoking literal catnip. Like I was too stupid to figure it out, and now I'm having an allergic

reaction to the store bought catnip that I put in my pipe and smoked. It is insane. Oh my God.

And it's Easter weekend too. I feel like Jesus pushed that rock out of the way, came up this weekend

and was like, just kidding. It's me, the devil, make everything bloom right now so that those with

allergies can suffer. Oh, and Seattle is like a beast of its own. I needed to get used to this

when I started teaching because literally when things bloom here, it's like everything. I feel like

every plant here is a pollen making plant and trees. Trees, some of these trees don't even have

flowers. They just drop pollen out of the friggin stems. My, this is not an exaggeration. I

walked out to my car from work the other day. There was a yellow film on my windshield. I looked at

it and I was like, Jesus Christ, I'm going to have to crush my zirtec and snort it at this

right because it's not getting into my bloodstream fast enough. Oh, and the kids same. I can hear

those little sniffles under their masks and I'm like, I feel ya baby. You had feelful? Same.
