One hour of pushing AI slop on Adobe Max 🥴 Watching them do mental gymnastics to try to convince a crowd of creatives that the only real benefit to their AI tools is "saving time." No thanks, I'd rather spend the time to learn.

Two red and blue buzzing megaphones mirror the words "We Need your Posters". At the bottom are 5 red and blue yelling mouths with speech bubbles and the words "knowledge itself is power", "No kings!!!", "Resist!", and "Stand Up!"

Trump's birthday parade on June 14th is estimated to cost over $45M. But, scientific research is considered an extraneous cost. Are you furious, too!? Scream it with a poster! Link in bio to submit your designs and have it featured on our website for others to use at the #NoKings protest!

'Become ungovernable' Vespid wasp colorful vintage style propaganda poster.

'Become ungovernable' Vespid wasp colorful vintage style propaganda poster.

✨New Waspaganda✨

Despite their demonization, Vespid wasps are hardworking ladies who work together to get it done & fulfill their niche (pollinating, hunting, defending). I believe they are powerful symbols for worker resistance & deserve more respect.

Week 4 Figuring out what to focus on now & what to focus on next in science and higher ed

We do this all to stay focused, not flooded. I share the sense we’ve made in a late Friday night debrief.

There is a lot to feel sad & sick about. I can’t tell you things will be okay, but I can tell you A LOT about efforts to make it better.

This was week 4.
