Please note all labs have their own managers who actually take care of the equipment maintenance, service contracts, day to day, getting quotes, payments, etc. The department lab manager USED to do this, but now it's all on us.
The rant made me go super spicy and get a bit redundant, but y'all know what I meant. Btw the other useless position in my department is the "DePaRtMeNt LaB mAnAgEr" who sits on her ass all day unless it's to complain about something miniscule. (cont)
The fact that I have to show you how to do your fucking job (with fucking screenshots) just goes to show that we do not need a purchasing middleman. Let me just fucking submit the cart with the chart string myself. This is YET ANOTHER useless ass position in my department that is unnecessary.

I keep falling off the planet, it seems - I know my posts tend to revolve around DragonCon, but I am actively working on something for 2026. I'm learning a lot of new skills, too. Soldering, working with lighting/fiber optics, rigging up mini smoke machines, resin casting,…
Good.
VERY excited for this! The intersection between paleontology & pop culture is a particular interest of mine — especially how paleontologists can help communicate our science to the wider world through media.
If you're gonna be at #WonderCon #WC2026, make sure you see our panel!
Meh he likely had some other adaptive equipment for whatever was used if he did it.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now 1.6 million km²—twice the size of Texas—with 1.8 trillion plastic pieces, outweighing surface fish 6 to 1. 🤬😪🤬😪🤬😪🤬😪

This state is sacrificing our kids' education for profit and greed. An uneducated Texas leads to devastated communities, crime, and drug use. We should demand from our government an education policy that allows everyone to succeed.

How much has changed? Not much.
Arm yourself and be properly trained on how to use it. And don't advertise like a lot of Reich-wingers do.
Because the ICE goons ARE J6ers.
ICE just EXECUTED another person in Minneapolis.
Note* HE WAS LEGALLY CARRYING, and it was likely holstered. So again, FUCK ICE.
Call it what it was - a fucking execution. They disarmed him then first shot him in the back. Then ten more shots rang out. FUCK ICE.
I am tempted to say some things which could get me in trouble, so here's this instead

This seems to confirm it.
I counted eleven.
The White House's X account posted a doctored photo of a protester arrested in Minnesota, showing her face contorted with tears without disclosing that the photorealistic image had been altered.

Some Republicans must have amnesia — because instead of remembering how fearful they were for their own lives, they’ve spent all day attacking Jack Smith for doing his job and stating the facts.

Twitch screenshot of me in my office. Behind me on the wall are various framed figures of Alfred Russel Wallace, illustrations of some of the critters he first discovered for science, as well as a map of the Wallace Line
We're celebrating the 203rd birthday of ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE on today's #Twitch stream!
It's an opportunity to talk about his discovery of natural selection (independent of — and simultaneous with — Darwin!) and what this says about the nature of science.

The drive from Nashville to Houston is long and boring...but stopping in NLR where we used to live is a nice little break. Also, they have Dark Side Coffee, which is pretty baller. Four hours til home!!! #imastarwars

You shouldn't drive them on the interstate to begin with.
Who agrees? ✋
