A reminder that we all have terrible days, Charles Darwin too.

@Natasha_Jay Not a happy chap apparently

@Natasha_Jay i so feel 1 october 1861

@Natasha_Jay I would take "Languid and Bedeviled" as the title of my autobiography if I could be bothered to write it.

@Natasha_Jay I may have had my low points, but I've never hated bees.

@Natasha_Jay reads a bit like my commit messages some days

@HeatherMJ @Natasha_Jay there are years between these entries of frustration.

@Natasha_Jay the entire letter with the bees is amazing:

My dear Lubbock

I beg a million pardons. Abuse me to any degree but forgive me— it is all an illusion (but almost excusable) about the Bees.2 I do so hope that you have not wasted any time for my stupid blunder.— I hate myself I hate clover & I hate Bees—

In Haste to catch evening post | Yours sincerely | C. Darwin

@Natasha_Jay

Those quotes hate my day.

@Natasha_Jay

@Natasha_Jay “I hate a Barnacle as no man ever did before.” – Charles Darwin, after studying barnacles for years.

@Natasha_Jay charles darwin was a hater just like me

@erinaceus
Informed hate is the most intense hate.
@Natasha_Jay

@KennyPark
Same, although I do detest clover with every fibre of my being.

@Natasha_Jay

@Natasha_Jay are those for real?

Humanity never changes I'll personally start to use the languid and bedeviled thing

@Natasha_Jay "i am very stomachy"

same

@Natasha_Jay CD is my hero and it makes me happy to read these

@Natasha_Jay Same. Fuckin' clover.

@Natasha_Jay

I don't know if it's just me, but if back in school they had put quotes like these at the beginning of all classes, I would have been far more interested in the subject.

They made it all seem so static and clinical, that I just couldn't care.

@Natasha_Jay he goes on a bit, doesn’t he

@Natasha_Jay I have never related more to a historical figure
