This got me to dig up a clip from 2017, one of the last live shows they ever did. Still can’t believe I really got to see them. It was electric.

At least VISAS REVOKED is the top headline, on top of “known racist brings racism tour to Penn State”
Front page of the daily collegian newspaper with the headline “VISAS REVOKED”

Screenshots from the movie Addams family values. In the first, morticia Addams says “oh Wednesdays at that very special age when a girl only has one thing on her mind”. A mom and her daughter respond “boys?” Screenshots from the movie Addams family values. Wednesday Addams responds “homicide” and the mom smiles uncomfortably.

wfh with a cat is never easy
A black cat with a white patch on his face and a very pink nose is curled up on a desk, lying on top of a notebook and a laptop computer. Statistical analyses in R are visible on the laptop screen and written p-values are visible on the notebook.

An invisible man seen from the side walking across a green hill. Only his clothes are visible. He is wearing a traditional “jíbaro” costume (white button down shirt and straw hat) closely associated with Puerto Rican culture.

gorgeous!

I just saw something similar (but much more sinister) on instagram
a picture of a black cat in four panels. The cats eyes are wide open and gleaming. Each panel zooms in closer to the cat’s eyes to reveal a Christmas tree in their reflection. The cat’s objective? Total holiday destruction.

got to talk about wild fruiting plants at FSD!
A speaker, wearing a fabulous pink suit stands in front of a screen reading “Wild fruiting plants contribute more to avian community abundance and richness than planted vegetation in urban environments”. It’s a long title, I know. A speaker, wearing a fabulous pink suit, displays a table of results in front of a screen. Look out for a publication about wild urban plants early next year!
