This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Massachusettes "Millionaires Tax", which was targeted to fund transportation and education, has been a resounding success. It has funded FREE school lunch for ALL students, FREE buses in lowest income communities (people can get to work, etc.), and FREE community college. And "exodus" was minimal.

The voter-approved surtax has sailed past its $2 billion estimate for another year in a row.

Can anyone find the original study on this? Highly suspect the article is AI slop. Solar *can* work synergistically with crop yield and quality but the few studies I've read indicate the effect varies a lot and is not a panacea like the article suggests.

Happy belated #mothweek! This little friend divebombed me at my cubicle. I deposited them in the alliums outside and let them off with a warning.

Lab markers too. It's essential to keep a pair handy at all times - normal Sharpie for writing on sample boxes and conical tubes, and The Good Marker that's fine-tipped, cold-proof, and solvent-resistant for writing tiny labels on micro centrifuge tubes. Nobody touches The Good Marker but me.

Sleg, 2026. I was being clever and made it a right leg as a nod to gastropod dextral chirality, then realized that if I was doing the torsion correctly it would be a left leg. Oops

Went to a friend's house party yesterday with a bunch of poly/kinky/neurospicy guests, and the subject of neurodivergence came up as it inevitably does at these sorts of things. One woman there declared that neurodivergent communities are better because neurotypicals are just boring. About that...

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

Something lovely to start the week! 🐙🏺❤️ Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration, made by artisans from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo collage shows four pottery vessels, all a creamy yellow in colour, with black painted decoration depicting underwater sea-life featuring lively stylised octopuses with writhing tentacles (arms), All on display at Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete. 

Top L - Minoan pithoid storage jar decorated in the “Marine Style” with wide-eyes octopus, argonauts, rocks, and coral. Rounded top tapering down to a narrower base. Short cyclindrical neck flaring out at the mouth with black wavy decoration reminiscent of waves. Loop handles attached to the shoulders of the body. Height 55 cm. From Zakros. 1500-1450 BC

Top R - Minoan flask with a rounded body, short cyclindrical neck which flares at the rim, and two small curved handles attached between the top of the spout and the shoulders of the body. Decorated in “Marine Style” which depicts an almost cartoon-like octopus with wide eyes and sucker-lined tentacles which writhe around the vase. Other decorative sea-motifs include sea urchins, seaweed and rocks. Height 27cm. From Palaikastro, 1500-1450 BC

Bottom L - alabastron, broad at the base, swelling outwards into a fuller belly before narrowing near the top with a very short cyclindrical neck and a wider flat rimmed mouth. Decorated in “Marine Style” with a wide-eyed octopus among rocks. From Knossos Little Palace, 1450-1370 BC

Bottom R - krater with rounded body narrowing at the bottom towards the foot. Wide flaring mouth and rim with black painted wavy decoration, and two sturdy handles attached on each side between the top of the mouth and shoulders of the vessel. Decorated with a central very stylised wide-eyed octopus whose tentacles loop up and down around the body of the pot, 1370-1300 BC

It’s Halloween in the swamp, which is a time to remember all the bodies that are buried in the woods. Abandoned cemeteries are certainly on the “hiking in New England” bingo card. Did people used to just bury their dead in the middle of the woods? Sort of… ⬇️ #history #halloween #curious #newengland
