It's not ICE out. It's dismantle ICE. It's abolish ICE. Don't just get them out of MN and make them someone else's problem. No city or state should be next. Make them non-existent.
50,000 Minnesotans turned out to peacefully protest ICE’s actions in 10 below weather and there were no problems.
The next day a whole team of federal agents couldn’t handle one citizen with a cell phone. They shot him.
ICE needs to leave.

Me moving near my brother does have its perks for him on occasion.
So someone sent me a whole ass death threat yesterday.
Why?
Because I banned them from a discord server a year ago that I'm not in anymore (it's associated with my old university) and so can't let them appeal their ban.
Why are people like this.

10 years ago tonight I decided I didn't want to be alive anymore, so I'm going to sit in the exact same room 10 years later and remember how much I fucking love being alive.

Being a guide was such a formative experience, how hideous of them to show the bigotry they have.

Wrapped up a great few days at the 2025 @bsacandjac.bsky.social ARM Workshop! 🎉
Huge thanks to @friendlymicrobe.bsky.social and @conmeehan.bsky.social for organising a fantastic event. Loved hearing about the latest in AMR, from novel fundamentals to therapeutics.
Already excited for next year! 💊

Using the flexibility of a PhD in my favour for once- lab meeting moved to the afternoon, so a Friday morning manicure it is!

Just because I think sometimes it should be said- I've had one of the most interesting/exciting weeks in my PhD, and yet I still am feeling really rough.
Definitely struggling with the lack of daylight and the impact it has on my mood..

Come see me and chat about phage resistance (please)
Unfortunately, I am not going myself this year, but several of my group will be attending the excellent BSAC Antibiotic Resistance and Mechanisms Workshop (Nov 27-28th) in Birmingham.
I understand there is still a small number of places available at the conference.
