I do science and love music and write things.

Fiction coming out occasionally, and essays coming out semi-regularly in Asimov’s and Analog.

There’s been a movie I saw as a kid that I’ve struggled to remember, and I could recall “band aids on necks” and “a bunch of frogs.”

TONIGHT I FINALLY FOUND THE MOVIE

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Also I can definitely NOT recommend candida esophagitis. Not even a little bit.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

If you hate Bad Bunny and aren’t too clear on his citizenship…wow, do I have a novel for you! Boricua to the core. Taíno blood in its heart. Full of history and anticolonialism. Angry as fuck. Dark and full of magic. Bilingüe y sabrosa. Come learn…

So we have the radiologist’s update on Castiel, and… It could be a lot better. We’re looking at another night of hospitalization, and at least a month of medical recovery. So I have bowed to the inevitable, and set up a GoFundMe to cover the costs. 😔🙏🏼🐈‍⬛
