I dressed up as a mad scientist and sang “The Elements” in my junior high talent show. Can still sing it today.

Orkney is on my bucket list!

I had a round-number birthday in 2020, and I had wanted to throw a masquerade ball for it. I thought about asking friends to create a mini-LARP and/or a puzzle hunt to be part of it. For obvious reasons that never happened. One of these years.

Something nonfiction - history or science - that isn’t depressing?

Yup. I am minimizing my news exposure, which I know isn’t great, but even so.

I went to this last year and it was so much fun!

Happy birthday!!

The FDA is proposing to restrict COVID vaccines to those 65 and older or at high risk. This is dangerous foolishness. Here is a link to public comment. Please add your voice.

I have definitely been feeling that zoom zooming lately. I hope the trip is lots of fun!

I like the fitted tees when they’re actually sized right for me. The sizes often seem geared toward smaller folks.

Shared my poster for my master’s capstone today. Can’t believe how fast the last two years have gone!

pieces of filmcraft I’ve ever seen. The words are so lovely and moving, the music suits them, and to end with the simple statement of his death a week later hints at all the sorrow to come in the rest of the story. (2/2)

I started rewatching the Ken Burns Civil War series. There are things that hit very differently now than they did 30-odd years ago. But I do think the ending of the first episode, with “Ashokan Farewell” underlying Sullivan Ballou’s letter to his wife, remains one of the more powerful (1/2)

My classmates and I spent one class today celebrating each others’ strengths. It’s a very strange time to be trying to start a new career, especially in a health field, but I couldn’t have asked for a better group to have gone through school with.

That would be mine too!

I hadn’t thought about Iruña in ages. What a great little place that was.

Similarly in Concord, waiting for the parade

Thanks!

I like this and agree with it, but I am also wondering who is behind it - I hesitate a bit these days to put my name on something when I don’t know its origins. Do you know?

Ooh, I really like these!!

Same.

Tonight at 8E/7C/6M/5P: the next meeting of the non-traditional #GeneticCounseling students’ group. We have 3 folks lined up to talk about their transition to jobs after graduation. All non-trad prospective, current, & former GC students welcome! bostonu.zoom.us/j/9193637238...

I am glad to see this.

I don’t have much that fits, but I think I’m somewhere between 2 and 9 on this

A pile of brownish fur next to and about the same size as a red computer mouse

o/~ Blowing out your undercoat,
Leave fur everywhere.
That’s how a pet-owner knows
Spring is in the air!

Hope things will settle soon. It’s a time, for sure.

What’s the new game?

“We’re dragons, we’re dragons…”

Feeling pretty powerless on the large scale, so today I’m doing what I can: donating plasma and platelets at @bostonchildrens.bsky.social .
