Hello, I'm Qatherine! I'm a full-time chemist, part-time circus performer, and generally have too many hobbies. For my circus she/they-nanigans, follow me on Instagram! www.instagram.com/qatherine.in...
Last night I co-produced and performed in a video game themed circus show! This was the culmination of months of work, and I'm so happy with how everything went and so grateful for our cast, crew, and everyone who turned out to watch ☺🎪

This is exactly the new Katamari game I have been wanting for years. Same core gameplay, new environments and stuff to roll up. I'd given up hope that it would ever happen. Thank you Bamco Nandai 🤩🙏

Our teams in Gaza have again run out of food to cook. We have finished all the stock in hand, and our trucks are stuck at the border. We are continuing to bake bread and deliver water. #ChefsForGaza (1/2)

Israel was finally starting to get some heat for slaughtering Gazans who are just queueing for aid. The Freedom Flotilla got a lot of Western eyes back on Gaza. Then Israel launched unprovoked attacks on Iran, and is dragging its patron state into a war. Do not let this distract you from Palestine.

Straight people: I don't need you to wish me a happy pride and tell me I'm valid. I need you to show up in material ways for queers in your community who are under attack, particularly our Trans and gender nonconforming siblings. And that does not mean donating to the nonprofit industrial complex.

I've now attended the first wedding of my adult life and it was for two friends at city hall, followed by a 3 min walk down the street to a restaurant for brunch. Pretty hard to top that.

This is eugenics. This is going to result in people not getting vaccinated and dying or being disabled by COVID-19. This is ridiculous and dangerous and that is the point.

Protesting for Hands Off is a start, but we need your hands ON in your community to actually make change and take care of each other. If even 10% of that crowd got involved in local grassroots organizations, imagine the impact they could make!

BDS, a Palestinian-led movement, has just added Xbox to their boycott list. Cancel Xbox Game Pass. Don't buy Xbox or Xbox games. Targeted boycotts are effective, but only if we all do our part! 🍉

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Back in Dec I had an amazing experience with a group of circus performers who put on multiple performances with full show lighting so I could test out the Panasonic G9 II’s AF.
It worked out pretty well! And this shot is of @qatherine.bsky.social

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.
This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.
