Snow's been coming down in Chicago now, and I'm taking occasional breaks to watch the sidewalk plow and salt operations from my window.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

If you're one of those people who thinks they have a bad sense of direction, you're probably right, but another thing to remember is that it can be improved with effort. (And that believing this is important!)

I’ve spent about 2-3 hours each day on calls or chats with my US gov friends. Here’s an anonymized recap of what’s going on.

First, I am so very sorry that they are living our last year at Twitter. I never wanted to think about that time again, and I hope my advice is helpful. 1/

A journal spread of sketches and the beginnings of a larger sketch on tracing paper.

We should all be making a lot more art. I'm working towards a daily practice this year, at minimum sketching everyday. Today I'm trying to wrangle ideas for my largest scale woodblock print yet.

Best thing about leaving the house in the winter is coming back in from the cold. Except for me it's to resume my big Friday night plans (grading).
