Rosalind Franklin at her microscope

Raising a glass for Rosalind Franklin tonight. James Watson absolutely did her dirty.

But beware...

I survived and got told I did a good job and then ate a bagel. Pretty good.

i say thank you to the bus driver when i get on and yell thank you when i get off every day i ride the bus, and i take two buses to and from work, being nice and friendly costs you nothing and should be your default expectation for yourself because it improves your day and everyone else’s day

Ugh I have to talk in front of a group of people today.

In the weird void of being nervous, hoping I don't start every slide with "So..." and being just so over it.

Love u Mookie

A pink single serve packet labeled with: Oath Nutrition Clear Protein Raspberry Lemonade. 20g complete protein per serving.

I tried Oath's lemonade flavor and didn't like it that much, so I was hesitant about raspberry lemonade. Nope, it is TASTY. I may buy a bag of this. Also, it gets points for being pink. This is great.

Now that I know how to do tiling images on the confocal, this is all I want to do.

Woke up, and it already feels like today is going to be difficult and anxious.

A black and white pen drawing on a bright orange field. A figure wearing a full-skirted lolita fashion ensemble stands confidently with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Their ensemble is comprised of layers of frills, a double-breasted jacket, and a lacy jabot with a large brooch. A small ferret with a bow around its neck stands on its hind legs, braced against the figure's calf. The figure holds aloft their own head, a pumpkin craved into jck-o-lanatern, with a ruffle-brimmed witch's hat on top. Text in the bottom left reaads: Inktober 2019 Tuesday - Oct 15 Witchtober and Inktober Prompts Pumpkin and Legend 005 Sakura Pigma Micron Pen Digital Colour Accent

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Something old because I'm not up for something new, but hope everybody has a nice time!

This is really cute and precious 💖

Finished reading The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu yesterday. It took me a few tries to get into it (Three Body Problem hooked me right away), BUT the pay off was good!!

A peach packet that says "Oath Nutrition Clear Protein Peaches and Cream"

Time for some limited edition peaches and cream protein drink. It tastes more peach than cream, which is good. I would not buy a full 20 serving package of this but it's okay and the little 6 serving pack I bought will be sufficient.

Accidentally used hot water in my protein powder this morning. Do not recommend 😭.

In better news, I got some in new flavors, so that will be fun

I am NOW MELTING. I hit roadblocks that upset me more than they logically should and I am just very upset.

I worked for a small food pantry for a while. The can of beans you paid $1 for would cost us 20 cents through our connections.

Give money directly if you can. You can literally multiply the amount of food your donation can provide by 3-5x just by giving cash directly.

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

I need to schedule some days off for myself after I give my talk or else I am going to melt

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

No Kings Changed My Mind About America's Future Before this weekend, I couldn’t stop thinking about fleeing the country. No King’s made up my mind. Readers of this newsletter know that, for the last year or so, I've been weighing whether or not I ...

For my newsletter, I wrote about how I was affected by the No Kings protest in my town.

(I am no longer thinking about fleeing the country)

I need to watch Wicked movie again before seeing the next one. Just for funsies.

Someone told me that a Bonne Mamam jam advent calender exists and while I do not need such a thing, I cannot stop thinking about it

Today, I will sit and dissociate between trying to do things and thinking about the lipstick I reordered and plan things to do next week and aaaa

Two Uni Jetstream pens on a purple notebook. The top one is yellow with a red grip and the text "Hobonichi Techo 2025" on the barrel is mostly worn away. The bottom pen is blue with a dark red grip, and has the text "Hobonichi Techo 2026"

Hobonichi order arrived. Please appreciate how worn my 2025 pen is compared to the brand new 2026 pen.

This is the pen I use at work every day.

I hope someone will someday appreciate my filenames for images like "sample 2 80x but it sucks"

In a funny contrast to this situation last month, I have now received a Jetpens order in two days.

Possibly, but is it working?

Mookie is so cute 😍
