The good thing about being habitually up super early is i already have the time to take plant babies into the garden for the day!

[as my boss watches roving gangs of guinea pigs scamper across the office floor, hooting to one another and biting his expensive shoes] so, the original plan was a little different

For U.S. medical researchers, shrinking labs and bare budgets are the new reality The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Very good (if tragic) story from the Washington Post

"What is Insider Trading?"

Today's philosophical thought:
Time under tension brings progress.

Yabai! Its Meaning and Versatility in Modern Japanese - Unseen Japan There's no Japanese word with a meaning quite like yabai. Find out how one word came to mean everything from "awful" to "excellent."

The Japanese word "yabai" started as Edo-era thieves' slang for "dangerous" but now means everything from "amazing" to "awful." One survey found that 8% of parents simply don't understand what their kids mean when they say "yabai."

I'm reading Parable of the Sower and it's *beautiful*.

One conversation. One shared goal. From a conference in Bolivia to a global collaboration, teams at DDU, the University of Washington, and DNDi are working together to develop new treatments for Chagas disease.

By bringing together expertise from DDU, @uofwa.uw.edu, & @dndi.org, we’re working to turn scientific potential into real progress against #ChagasDisease.

I presented my project and did not use the phrase "hideous bitch goddess"

THE APPOINTMENT WAS FOR TOMORROW WTF OMG

Ever do an absolutely *perfect* make up look straight off the bat with no planning?

This is to make up for the fact that I accidentally hung up the phone in queue position 6 and ended up in queue position 56.....

This at least means I can leave the conditioner on my hair for the right length of time.

I am in queue position 6. Not bad!

This weekend I gave a presentation to a group of mostly college-aged folks and had a little line at the beginning of my slides that described it as an "AI-free presentation made by a human, for humans" and I had to pause for clapping at that part

you love to see it

Not me sitting for the 8am Drs dash - but because my appointment at 915 better be a phone call or I can't make it lol

Screenshot of POLITICO London Playbook email, showing Palantir sponsorship

Oh, FGS -

@politico.com is taking sponsorship money from Palantir - running their ads through news updates.

That's absolutely the *last* thing we need in our politics, Palantir going straight for the political-media environment at a time when we need massive scrutiny of their contracts in the UK.

Today's gifts from another Plant Person! Black currants (possibly??) and strawberry plants.

A new Boards of Canada album on the horizon and a fascist defeated in Europe. What a week!
