Scientist. Queer. Cheeky. Mouse.

I am: A single mom of teenaged twin boys. A scientist with backgrounds in microbiology and epidemiology. A doctoral candidate in the throes of dissertation hell. The slave of a sassy chihuahua.
This is excellent.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Happy Black History Month! Black history is AMERICAN history, and we have to be diligent that it does not get erased.

If your plan is predicated on people not knowing their rights, you may be the bad guy.
Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

Once again, Trump absolutely will end the war in Gaza, just not the way you were hoping.
Audio of Trump on Gaza: I’d like Egypt to take people and I’d like Jordan to take people. You're talking about a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing…

My mom is Ashkenazi. I was raised to always be on alert for antisemitism and N*zi shit from the time I could walk. The normalization of all of this is horrifying.

The number of Jewish friends justifying Elon Musk’s “Roman Salute” on Monday and calling him a friend to Israel is disorienting and depressing.

The FDA has removed its Guidance for Industry regarding diversity in clinical trials.

Sigh. I genuinely enjoyed Instagram and the memories on Facebook. I guess this is going to have to be the place I share both my outfits and unhinged opinions.
