Some signs I liked from the No Kings event in Lexington MA. I’m bad at crowd estimation but there had to have been a thousand people there, and that’s with a big rally in Boston happening on the same day.

This is fascinating. If it holds up — and if it becomes more affordable and insurances will pay for it — it would be a remarkable shift in how we think about a devastating disease.

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.

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

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.

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

Working on a #crochet baby blanket for a friend. It’s going to be super cute but there are so many ends… (This is the back, photos of the front will wait till after it goes to the recipient)

The reverse side of part of a crochet blanket in tan, yellows, greens, and maroon. There are many yarn ends.

I will be in clinic, learning to help patients whose conditions can be diagnosed and discussed thanks to SCIENCE, so I won’t be able to attend. But I will be there in spirit.

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.

Long ago, I was part of a Usenet community where, for reasons half-forgotten and half-cringeworthy, I called myself Valentine. That group has long since faded into the ether, though I’m still in touch with a few people from it. (1/n)

I am a proud owner of multiple pieces by this artist! He has a knack for capturing the spirit of characters he’s only had described.

Does anyone know of a non-Facebook equivalent of the local buy nothing/everything is free groups?

I spent all week being anxious about my cat, who had a medical thing. She’s fine now, which means I am finally actually freaking out about what’s happened to this country this week.

One of my classes this semester is on ethics in genetic counseling. Gonna be a lot to talk about, methinks. For those targeted by all this crap: I’m here if you need a place, a meal, a shoulder, money, whatever. If I know you and you need private contact info just ask.

So happy with the second meeting of our non-traditional #geneticcounseling students group! Lots of conversation about the unique challenges and strengths we bring to our programs and our profession. Feb meeting (date TBA) will focus on self-care and how to keep going through the challenging days.

Nate edited one of my AVCX cryptics. These fires are so frightening.

Didn’t get much else done today but I finished this puzzle. My local library has a free jigsaw swap shelf, which is cool. (Yay libraries!)

The next meeting of the Non-Traditional #GeneticCounseling students group will be Weds 1/15 at 8E/5P. Topic is application/interview season: your questions, what you wish you’d known, etc! bostonu.zoom.us/j/9597864614...

Just one of his many accomplishments, but one that may have helped more people directly than any other.

RIP, Jimmy Carter. A good human and the best ex-president we have ever had.

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Genetic counselor: Right now we don’t actually know if this means the cup is full or empty; it’s what we call a VUF, or a variant of uncertain fullness.
