I had the biggest panic attack I've had in a long while today. Usually I'm alone when they happen and I take my meds and regulate, but I was at my parents' and I'd already taken meds. Definitely atypical and somewhat embarrassing and exhausting. We had a nice baking day after, but thanks, jerkbrain.

Today my toddler met Santa. He wanted to show Santa his Ghostbusters hoodie so Santa knew to get him more Ghostbusters for Christmas. ♥️

An excellent cover of this song that I remember singing with a choir decades later because of how deep it gets into your heart.
As a non-Christian also a singer:
Some of you have never heard Lauridsen's "O Magnum Mysterium" and you are about to be BLESSED.
Hearing it is glorious, singing it yourself will literally bring you to tears.

As we reach the close of a long Thanksgiving weekend, I just want to say thank you to the folks and communities that make Bluesky my online home now. To the people who follow, engage, and speak put for #scicomm, #justice, #TeamPlacenta, #sciart, #Nephrosky, and more: so much love.

I made a cranberry tart! I treat recipes like protocols: I read a few from trusted sources, look at what I have, and then put it together. It turned out really well,good first attempt, would do again!

Today's rough, but in small good news, the NIH Loan Repayment Program finally released my first disbursement towards my loans since my renewal was awarded in July. I was scared that gov't changes might erase my award, so it's a small relief.

When life is hard just drink a bunch of wine and send love notes to your friends who need one.
If you need a love note you can comment, I'll probably respond as long as I'm awake.

My biggest problem with Strange New Worlds is the same problem I have with The Mummy: I find absolutely all of them impossibly attractive. My type is Competent And Complex People With A Sense of Humor, so I am done for, entirely.

It's true, though. I got a Brother laser printer like some people adopt cats: the ancient thing came out of someone's shed, on the verge of going to the dump. It worked for me for several years on cheap Amazon toner. I got its HP twin for $10. It looks exactly the same but errors once a month.
This is the funniest piece imaginable in the dull world of the otherwise sickly sycophantic tech review.
For real. Read it, even if you don’t give a rat’s ass about printers.

SNW got us. Watched the War episode right after the crossover, felt shattered by it, so we decided to do one more. It's the musical episode. We just finished Uhura's big number and thank god there was a commercial break after because I criiiiiiied.
Spent today catching up on some Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks. Finally saw the crossover episode and I think it's one of my favorite Star Trek episodes ever. Such a love letter to fandom and science and exploration. <3

Listened to the new Lily Allen album while cleaning the kitchen with the toddler. It’s pretty good as a storytelling album, and even if the lyrics are highly repetitive and basic, her fire’s in it. Mostly it just reminded me what a banger her first album was so then we restarted that. :)
