She/her, 🏳️🌈, still figuring out what I want my contribution to the world to be.
Sometimes it kinda feels like living in the US is just like high school, having to watch all the popular kids get together and fall out, keeping up on who likes who, etc., except for the fact that it has very real geopolitical, legislative, and economic impact on real people's lives. I hate it here.

I really loved listening to this podcast episode about colonialism in pathogen genomics! I found it really accessible, even with me not being trained in any form of medicine. Considering this podcast is geared towards neurology professionals, that's quite a feat!

I sometimes wonder how people navigate the world thinking that anything is apolitical. Your existence is political and anyone who tells you otherwise is just trying to hope you don't notice so they can continue to legislate you without you caring.

Link to the article itself bc it sounds like it could also have wider implications to other autoimmune diseases even outside lupus:

I watched my local city development commission meeting last night, and the main guy turns to one of the ladies on the panel and goes "what about you? You haven't spoken much tonight. I know you didn't get reelected, but there's still a lot you can do!"

I showed a friend of mine the first couple eps of the stray kids survival show last night, and it's been 4 years since the last time I watched it. It is WILD to see how young they all were and to see their personalities back then, knowing how they evolve later on.

I still don't understand how/why some kpop album versions sell out during preorder. I thought the whole point of preorders as a business strategy was to sell as many as there were interested people, and then you can then manufacture at least that many.

Can I just say, all the scientists who helped in the research to discover anti-CGRP drugs as a migraine treatment, THANK YOU. I'm sure you're all well aware, but the difference in quality of life I've had is immense. I'm just so grateful, you don't even know.
