Professional #DataGeek and #DataGovernance consultant. CDMP Practitioner. Science is real and doesn't need me to believe in it. I'd rather work to fix our socio-political systems than blame those they fail. US based.

All of which to say, y'all, we need to do this together. Many, many others with much, much more experience and wisdom than me have been shouting this from the rooftops for ages. Find the ones speaking about issues important to you. Let them help you prioritize and focus your efforts.
I love my PT. So, so often, issues that I might have otherwise gone to an MD for - and gotten treatments for the symptoms without actually addressing the root cause - she can figure out and make a plan to address with me in 30 minutes. My body works better because she understands and helps me learn.

Ooof .. watching #CriticalRole S3E78 and Taliesin Jaffe's emotional maturity & depth of empathy are *astounding*. I loved him as Caduceus Clay for this, but the love, care, & comfort he offers others as they literally vomit their emotions at him after experiencing intense trauma himself is.. damn.

🚨Folks! Knitters!👇See this one, too👇!!!

An off-Rav event *specifically* highlighting indie designers, w/ great filter you can use to search & support designers from marginalised groups!

(I picked a banger week for this #ShowMeYourKnits theme; would have been bit more impressive if on purpose 😬)

I finished the Egyptian stockings today. They are based on an extant stocking in the Textile Museum (collections-gwu.zetcom.net/en/collectio...) and are as close to a true reproduction as I can make in terms of materials and gauge. 🧶 #MySCA

Today I learned that I have access to @science.org via alumni library access! Whohoo!! All The Science(tm)!
The mass extinction at the end of the Permian was so bad that people call it the "Great Dying." But, it turns out marine life didn't take long to rebound. That story and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Finally watching KPop Demon Hunters. Partner is dubious, but he looked away from his phone when the first song started, so I think he might be hooked.

Beautiful #Aurora visible even amidst all the light pollution just northeast of the Cities.

All photos are from my phone on "night sight" setting, but the colors are visible to the naked eye as well.
