ah cool I see we have already forgotten about Jason Arday!
I don't know Parker Molloy well, but I think the way people are treating her for the crime of getting upset is shamefully and transparently transmisogynistic.

walked back into the building, a lab tech I do not know greeted me enthusiastically on my way into the lift, and there's a fun and topical poster featuring the elizabeth holmes meme advertising the weekly building-wide social. it's good to be back

a friend from Halifax asked me for advice on sustaining a LDR while waiting for visa/immigration stuff to move, and I had to genuinely think about how I coped, which is to say spending too much money on flights and desperately trying not to be as forlorn as I was

Roxy can literally fall asleep with her tiny head on my foot and her paw on my ankle and I’ll still be like “Isaac do you think our cat loves me”

Roxy’s going to the vet tomorrow for her annual check-up and she is currently off her tits on gabapentin. she just got distracted by her own thoughts midway through licking my finger and left her tongue halfway out for like a full minute while she stared at nothing

saw some lanyard-wearing techies looking quite confused and out of place in our gently sketchy patch of tenderloin-adjacent SF, felt better about myself than I fear I had any right to

for two months, I've been flying drones over Flock cameras to situation them in space and geography; I even got my commercial drone license in order to do it.

my takeaway from PT is that I was wrong to want this, PT is awful, I yearn for the halcyon days before I had to do endless fucking hip bridges with a cushion clenched between my thighs

a thing I learned years after the fact – and this was in the UK! – is that my mother had to give my father a very stern talking-to after 9/11 because he was reluctant to let me keep seeing my best friend, a Sikh. the derangement around this was widespread and irrational.
we don’t teach young people short-term history, so it was weird when i realized that gen z had no idea that so many gen x and millennials spent our high school years protesting george w bush
and not just because of the wars, but because mosques were being targeted and sikh men were being attacked

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

Roxy's new preferred game: walking into the bedroom, waiting for me to follow with the ribbon toy, sitting disinterestedly while i wiggle it, waiting for me to walk away, then chasing me and the toy down the corridor to the living room

the major grant report is IN, a scant uhhh sixteen hours after the deadline. crucially though that delay wasn’t my fault so I don’t have to do work penance about it
the headline from the “major grant submission deadline” aspect of today is that I am “aged” and “haggard” and “liable to strangle a postgraduate” but you know what? I am a creature of many sides
