I think Christianity is the greatest evil this world has ever known. Should have been a different face of oppression that met the Reaper this morning though.

My wrist hurts, I'm tired and I better relearn the art business because it appears I've lost a good deal of science funding. Finished this tonight, too tired to soak off the stick n stitch paper but that can wait until tomorrow.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Me: ok, I have got to review these peer articles
Me: and this film on Yakut food traditions, I was supposed to watch it two days ago
Me: and my lab and workspace is a mess, there is literally human skull on the floor

With all my research and school and funding in jeopardy I'm finding solace and voice falling back into creative endeavors.

Even though it absolutely sucks to be a scientist right now, I do kinda love that we're cast as villains in MAGAWorld. I've waited my whole life to be the evil genius baddie. I will wickedly affirm all the genders and ruin the youth with magical gifts of critical race theory *pets my cutestupid cat

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

I am an old, very tired, currently very overwhelmed medical/public health researcher. A few things that bring me joy still are fabric arts and irreverent animated demons. So this is my current #wip, it's a jacket I will wear to conferences, I need to make joy wherever I can.

My nightly reminder that I have skills outside of the insanity that is STEM in the the U.S. right now. I'm working on new embroidery projects but this is my favorite to date, a thread painted, ribbon embroidery cloak I made and my little imp wore to Abney Park in London.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat
driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

Trying to remind myself of all the joyful things I create, instead of dwelling on the absolute avalanche of crap that my medical research/public health work is experiencing right now.

Another of my long ago creations. When I go through the pictures of my dolls I remember how much joy I felt making them. Now, in medical research/public health, I'm sad all the time. It may be worth finding my way to dolls again.

If you're wondering why scientists are freaking the fuck out about what's being described as a pause in spending, I have written an article just for you:
Science at risk: The funding pause is more damaging than you might think
Research that helps drive our economy is on hold and may face new ideological limits.
