Oh no, no, it's not her brand, it's what the artist buys and wears. The fans have found out and gone out to coat themselves in it.

Tucking my kid in for bed and he reaches up to my face and says, "You're a good mama," and my heart just shatters. Thanks, kid. I'm doing my best.

“Fish” can be both singular (one individual fish) or plural (multiple fish of the same species.) “Fishes” refers to individuals of different species. 🐟 Fish 🐟🐟🐟 Fish 🐠🐟🐡 Fishes Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

The Formula One Drivers intro sequence is referred to as Mama's National Anthem in our house. I cheer for everyone except Lance Stroll, who is a failson who punches walls and can't drive and looks like a toe. And we cheer extra for Kimi, who's been a longtime fave and is KILLING the season.

I just dumped a bunch of words on Facebook about the truth of academia because it's a very confusing system and I thought I'd shed some light on it. Also I referred to the head of the tenure committee as "Science Daddy" so there's that. I may have to move it to the blog for expansion.

There‘s much to appreciate in Mamdani, but his insistence that culture isn’t a privilege of the rich is one of his strengths.It is reminiscent of how unions and the government treated it in the 1930s -art for the masses - paintings, music, opera, theater - democracy for all.

This week, so far: submitted as a Co-I on a grant, rewrote and posted a syllabus, reviewed and approved a paper proof, designed and gave a journal club talk, dove into some weird new mass spec data. And that's the broad strokes of just the work stuff.

As I activate the syllabus for the term, I realize it's the first time I'm not a teacher and a student at the same time. Even as course director last year I was finishing my MCR. It's start of term next week, and I'm only listed as faculty. Weird.

This morning's Department of Medicine Grand Rounds is an excellent presentation about non-smoking lung cancer and Oregon's risk levels. Oh boy. Between the wildfires and vape rates, we are in trouble. (Still lower risk than if you're smoking anything, so stop that first before worrying further.)

I think so, because Fandom tends to be about groups of people, many of whom are probably affected by GSF1 (No One Out) and GSF5 (We Do Everything Together). So under GSF4, if you don't like Star Wars (I felt the Force gasp just typing that), it may be perceived that you hate Star Wars-likers.

Also I'm not at RCCC this weekend because they decided after letting in one local band last year to cut all local music again this year. Panels, concerts, anything having to do with nerds and musical representation, rejected. So we held the parking lot fest a couple weeks ago. :D

Just remembered that recently when I said I ran the Hebert Lab, someone asked me if it was named after someone. I was confused. "Me, because I am Hebert." "No, before it was your lab." "I'm referring to the people and the work as Hebert Lab." "But was the space named for your uncle or something?"

A Black teen found hanged near Charlotte church was a suicide, police say. Questions remain

In May, 16-year-old Juliana Nzita was found dead in a Charlotte churchyard. CMPD called it a suicide. Her family isn’t so sure.
