Just an early morning stroll yesterday morning with six thousand other people ... 😆
(It was freaking COLD!! 🥶 But I kept up a 16 min/mile walk the whole 5K, and am pretty pleased about that.)

I started (and finished, only 12 episodes!) "I'm the Villainess, so I'm taming the Final Boss!" on a whim, and it is both as silly as it sounds, and also better. I do like the main character--and it gives the actual villain the techbro philosophy about NPCs, so I appreciated that! 😁 #anime

#anime Bakemongatari is well reviewed and I can see why -- it's definitely weird, it doesn't cater to its viewers, and its animation is funky.
But the basically subliminal flashes of text are driving me bonkers. Even I can't read a whole screen of text in 200 ms!! What is the point of that??

I got this book because I have met the author and I know he's doing good work for Blue Ohio.
The introduction is already inspiring-- we have work to do! But the idea that people born after 2001 have never seen "peak democracy" and part of our job is transmitting the memories, was sobering.

My #SkypeAScientist merch came in the mail! I got the "Biology is bigger than binaries" t shirt. Perfect for all the family gatherings! 😂🤣 (Photo is of a black t shirt with an orange and white bee and clownfish and a crocus? With the motto in big white letters.)

Two thumbs up for the University of Michigan Museum of Art. They are not reworking themselves to appease the current administration, or holding back in support of DEI or education about the damages of colonialism, etc. The text is well worth reading!

I signed the petition to put the anti education bill SB1 to a popular referendum in November!
If you live in Ohio sign it soon -- they have no time to raised the hundreds of thousands of signatures needed.

Definitely a good point! If you have to rally every four years to vote out fascism, you are not living in a democracy. You are living under siege.
Hopefully if the US gets a chance to rebuild a democracy eventually, the next generations will take that to heart. 💪

Peking duck in Toronto last week!! It was absolutely delicious, at the Shangri-la Hotel restaurant (might have the same name, I'm not sure). 😋

The drive from Ohio to Chicago isn't bad, but I have to force google maps to go to Indianapolis first. There's a "direct route" that saves about 15 minutes, but It's all local towns and byways, turning left and right at random spots; the psychological toll is not worth it. 😁
