wrote my own hugo layouts from scratch and styled them with tailwindcss... I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out given that I never do front-end work
check it out, I'll be putting up more blogs soon: carreteroc.me

Excited to share that I have officially graduated from MIT with a B.S. in Biology!
This means I'm now on the job market 😅 Do any of my followers have leads on entry-level research associate positions in molecular or computational biology and would be willing to put in a good word for me?

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.
"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

I think a big goal for me this year will be to lean into creativity in the most general sense of the word.
I want to *make* things that I'm proud of! Learning is good and all, but the knowledge often sits in my head unused unfortunately...

🎧 How do people catalog their music? Looking for something cross-platform or web based that lets me:
- tag albums by genre
- have crates for albums (e.g. to listen/to rate/to relisten/favorites/etc.)
- rate albums
- integrate with spotify and/or last.fm
