It’s done. Burial of 1/2 the ashes, scatter the rest in the lake, 2 memorials hosted. Three different states, six long solo drives, months of planning & logistics, it’s all done.

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

Just was talking to a fanfic writer who had a revolutionary new idea for “gumball machine” stories (like those random
prizes in plastic balls): you wouldn’t know what you’re going to get, bc it’d be *untagged*!!! You’d know the premise but not all the details.

Books. She was describing books

LinkedIn keeps excitedly telling me that there are hundreds of openings for my exact job title (“professor”). Hate to break it to you, LinkedIn, but a professor of biology and a professor of Spanish literature do not actually have the same job

To Americans (and others) who want to support Ukraine despite the cowardly, immoral, rude, shortsighted actions of the US government: We have to step up as individuals bc our nation is letting down the whole world. You can donate directly to Ukraine here: (Zelenskyy’s official site)

Another update from my northern Virginia uni: Apparently we have been flooded this week with CV’s from “very highly qualified” federal scientists who were laid off last week & are desperately begging for bare-bones, poverty-level temporary adjunct positions just to try to put food on the table

Am in a faculty meeting in a science department at my university, re Trump’s EOs that are crippling American scientific research, and the departmental chair just said “Your best course of action is to start drinking immediately” 😂 😭

Happy #SuperbOwl Sunday! 🦉 Our MVP (Most Valuable Predator) Forrest is celebrating in style! Our Eurasian eagle owl is 19 years old and still bringing his A-game. With those big orange eyes, he's always on the lookout for a touchdown snack. 👀

The great beast came again last night, & flew away with my father. He died this morning. Mom in Nov, Dad today. (Even lost my kitty too, at Christmas)

Yet the world keeps turning, the sun keeps rising, the birds keep singing. My dad always loved the birds…

Hug your loved ones close 💕

Lost mom at Thanksgiving. Put my kitty (my only buddy) to sleep over Christmas. Dad went into the hospital end of Jan, and today he was moved into hospice. Dad is at peace with it, me not so much. I just wanna say: hug your peeps, look at the sun & moon & stars & sea & the birds, sing dance & play 💕

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
