What a week-- three 6am meetings, two kids with headlice, and one kid who is devastated that we can't just set the nits free ("But it's just the start of their life! And their parents are gone?"). Guest first grade is as good a time as any to learn what a parasite is.

So far this week has involved three 6am meetings in a row, and now headlice. Hopefully things look up for Thurs/Fri

My neighbors hosted a small gathering today to check in on each other and spend time together 3 weeks after the fire-- the hosts and most attendees were in their 70s or older, and they were all bada*s. Elder Seattleites are living proof that age is not some gravitational pull towards conservatism.

My 4 year old reminded me last night that I need to renew her passport soon, and today I received a reminder email from the state dept. I guess my work here is done?

Unconscionable
We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Took advantage of rain on San Juan to visit @whaleresearch.bsky.social. The kids loved the VR whale watching experience and learning about the Whale Survey, which has conducted a census of Southern Resident Killer Whales each year since 1976, with support from @noaa.gov and other donors.

Hi Bskyers,
Last week our nexdoor neighbors lost everything in a house fire. They (two adults and a 20 month old little boy) are now re-building from scratch, and in need of support.
Jose's CashApp is $josefbarrera89. Any help you can give is appreciated.

What a way to start the day. Amazingly, the playhouse we’ve been building for our kids was only minimally damaged. Our collection of Christmas decorations, including the stockings my mother hand made for all of us (mine in 1985) are gone, and the tree skirt I made while pregnant with my daughter.

Just found out a full-day workshop I was really looking forward to (on Tuesday) was cancelled because the facilitator couldn’t get a visa. This is in the EU, not the U.S.
Visa apartheid is real, cruel, unproductive, and sadly not just a U.S. problem.

With the gutting of NIH, I hear lots of chatter about how the end goal of the administration is for the private sector to fully fund biomedical research. It strikes me that if you want to see what that endgame looks like for the pharmaceutical pipeline, look no further than vet medicine

UW faculty joins a NATO-style pact against the U.S. government. Washington bars other states from invading. Two more signs the nation may be splitting apart, Danny Westneat writes.
