Lucy (The Eggcademic) [she/her]’s biggest pet peeve is to peel citrus, which is wild because so many people love this scent. Her favourite citrus is tangerine, because it’s just the right size for a snack.

What’s next… another piece that deserves more love from R. Rangan PhD or something else I wrote?
