Genuinely cannot believe it’s been a year since I got laid off. I was devastated. I *am* devastated. I loved my job so much. I loved working with scientists everyday.
I’m also still looking for my next job, so if you know anybody that needs a stellar comms person, let me know. Remote or in Boston.

Well, anybody hiring? Just found out my last day is Friday.
Mass General Brigham said it will let go of hundreds of employees in the next two months, the largest layoff in the organization’s history, as the health system grapples with financial shortfalls and operational challenges.

I’m looking for roles that support science or education, as I’ve primarily worked in comms in research and academia. I have extensive experience in virtual event production and digital content, producing copy, art, websites, photo, simple animations and social video.

AI couldn't fuckin' do this.
1. carve half of my thumbnail off.
2. hopelessly tangle strings during multi-puppet scenes.
3. have a tail fall off during a pivotal scene.
4. break an ear.

Here is a little preview of the work we are doing. We have finished principal photography and are in post-production now, and have spent all of our money(on an absolutely incredible crew, it has been worth it)!

The other day someone on here mentioned that the green parts on the apple are there because they were shaded from the sun by a branch, leaf or other apple.
It stopped me in my tracks. How have I gotten this far in my life without knowing this?
Just picked up an apple with an obvious ”leaf tan”.

I find this question about whether chatbots are “alive” to be truly, truly boring. You can torture a definition of “life” so that it includes chatbots or you can listen to actual, unequivocal flesh-and-blood people talking about harm it does them *right now*.

Firefighters Wore Gear Containing “Forever Chemicals.” The Forest Service Knew and Stayed Silent for Years.
As early as 2021, government officials were alerted to the presence of potentially dangerous chemicals known as PFAS in pants used by wildland firefighters, according to emails obtained by ProPublica.

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.
Finding out that top execs from both LifeTouch and Chuck E. Cheese are in the Epstein files has pissed me off in a way that I didn’t think was still possible.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.
