Opinions are evidence-based & my own.
I rang the bell today, signaling the end of my radiation treatment for breast cancer. Grateful for science and medicine that, while imperfect, nonetheless is lifesaving. As always, interested in questions of who gets to live and whose deaths are speeded.

Seattle U's common text this year is Binti: The Complete Trilogy, and so far, I'm relishing it. Grateful to @nnedi.bsky.social for such an immersive, creative, captivating story.

Beauty is an antidote to grief - and the changing seasons a faithful reminder that this too shall pass. Where there is hope, there is change; and where there is change, there is hope.
