The calming cardboard folding and taping moment I needed in this *gestures to the world*
The kiddo wanted a dragon mask to add to her Halloween costume this year. I found a template and started assembling.
Some fun mathematical thinking went into this build.

Hot writing tip!
It is very common, in a piece of writing that has any length at all, to know what a part of the writing needs to do without also knowing how you want to write it.

I had some time today to download and try my hand at a few of the Bloom class of origami folds.
They were a lot of fun, data set with select crease patterns available here scholarsarchive.byu.edu/data/85/

It’s okay to be sad right now guys fuck stop telling ppl not to despair and get back to work, this is why so many ppl are in a state of apathy and dissociation cuz they don’t even have space from movement leaders to feel how they feel

Probably 1/3 of my time as a Peace Corps community health volunteer was facilitating learning sessions on vaccines & traveling with heath teams on vaccine tours. We’d walk hours to the most remote parts of our community to bring 💉 to the community and provide other health services and bring supplies
This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.
