Today was a sh*t show but the fight is far from over, & tomorrow is another day.

Showed up late to the concert but my reward was a rainbow & this view.

Love this photo of my cat Teaspoon, a veritable white-fanged Bunnicula, staring down the camera with demonic eyes

Proud of my university for doubling down on its commitments to social justice, pursuit of knowledge and truth, DEI, science humanities & the arts, and welcoming international students & scholars at today’s 2025 Doctoral Commencement

Also I spied this up top & it made me smile

In other news, SIX (!) nurses who work on the same maternity unit at Newton-Wellesley Hospital have recently reported benign brain tumors.

Glad to see the state is taking this cluster seriously.
