I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

Flu is rising in California right now. New strains are circulating this season, but current flu vaccines still help reduce severe illness & hospitalizations. 💪

Don’t wait - vaccinate.

Talk to your provider about what medicine to take if you get sick.

It is 2026 but nonetheless, I started a personal blog where I will write about my life with my spouse and cats. It is mainly for my friends and family but since it is public, I'll share here too.

Statisticians: We really need to move past the cult of p < 0.05. Science is about nuance, not just arbitrary thresholds!

Also Statisticians (reading a qualitative study): Wait, n=12? This isn't science, it’s an anecdote. Where is the power analysis??

Back in grad school we hosted a dinner party that had a dress theme of Judy Chicago’s the Dinner Party.

The 39 beautifully embroidered place settings in Judy Chicago's 1979 installation 'The Dinner Party' are symbolic of elevating women's talents, honouring women's history & to highlight women's collaboration as many embroiderers worked together to creative this aspect of the work #WomensArt
Four photographic images. Three of embroidered runners on a table with individual designs and one image of a huge triangular table with numerous place settings

This year I want to learn to cook beyond “I put something in the air fryer”. I want to start from simple dishes beyond that. The Culinary Institute of America has a set of videos titled “Cooking Basics: What Everyone Should Know” and one of the earliest videos is “How to Poach an Octopus“ 😳

Husband walks in and ten seconds after looking at the screen asks “are you watching Béla Tarr” even though he had not seen the movie. Got to say goodbye to the master of long shots by watching the Turin Horse. RIP 🖤🤍

This week's vibes.
An XKCD cartoon of two stick figures talking to one another while sitting across one another at a desk, each one with their laptop. Figure A says "Answering email is the worst It just leads to getting more email". Figure B responds "Yeah, email is a trap". They continue on working and then Figure A says "I bet the reason the ancient romans got so much done was that they had no concept of inbox zero" Figure B "That explains it"
