In our never-ending quest to figure out what the hell’s wrong with us, we’re exploring the under-discussed topic of aphantasia, aka the ability to visualize.
This episode, Grace is covering the basics of what aphantasia is, how we know some people really are seeing pictures in there, and how to measure your own mental imagery abilities on a 1-5 scale, all while lovingly bullying you into accepting that most of you aren’t actually visualizing, you’re just remembering what stuff looks like.

Prepare thy mouths for a tasty little shmorg. This Bagel Bite, Kristin is a hero to the people and celebrates some very exciting big life news, while Grace shares a new research study regarding autistic communication from the University of Edinburgh that falls solidly in the category of “duh,” but still, it’s nice to be validated.

Open up your earholes and prepare for another silly Just Segs, because we still haven’t gotten our giggles out and we could all use a good guffaw in these trying times.

On this podcast you’ve learned about bonsais, indoor plants, and composting. Now, it’s time to put it all together and enter the great outdoors for some seed math and sunshine.
This episode, Kristin is hitting the dirt to teach you about beginner gardening. She’ll walk you through the materials you need to get started, how to figure out what and how much to grow, and the many pearls of wisdom she’s gained from her gardening failures of past, present, and future.
Also, we share our safety songs and crush some Lil’ Accomplishments, Kristin can’t stop stress-swallowing gum in I’m So Quirky, Grace defends her soccer pre-season defiance in Pizza Secrets, and more.
Remember, Big Boy Gardening for Big Boys isn’t about being a boy, and it isn’t even necessarily about big gardens. Regardless of the gender of the gardener or size of the plot, B.B.G.F.B.B. is about a can-do attitude and a belief that, if you’re planting things in dirt, baby, you’re gardening.

Rise and grind those half-caff coffee beans because we’re talking ADHD and caffeine and it’s all about moderation.
This episode, professor Kristin is continuing her ADHD & addiction series with a big ol’ infodump about our nation’s lifeblood–caffeine. She’s getting into the science behind what caffeine is, how it works, the effects it has on the ADHD brain, and whether it can be used as a primary ADHD treatment.
We’re also sharing our icky day rituals, revealing our status as certified tossers, and encouraging society at large to stop normalizing unnecessary enemas and start normalizing routine colonoscopies.
