This is why I don't trust that Michael's is doing anything remotely useful with their fabric/sewing sections. 🤦‍♀️💀

Note to self: flat-felling seams on batik will make you go cross-eyed 😵 (curtain panels for a friend's business...featuring my portable sewing machine)

💯 every panel I’ve ever reviewed for had more competitive projects than 💵 to fund them. It’s not enough to fight for the way it was, Congress, triple NSF #3XNSF

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social It would be really cool if y'all could do something substantive to STOP THIS ADMINISTRATION FROM RUINING LITERALLY EVERYTHING. Sitting on your hands and waiting for 2026 ain't it here.

part of the problem is that even if dems win in 2028, a program of reconstruction 2.0 basically ends up running into the problem reconstruction 1.0 did: the fact that no one has the will to make the structural reforms required

Geology Word of the Day! Ophiolite - A slice of ancient ocean lithosphere (upper mantle/crust) obducted onto the continental margin at a subduction zone, typically consisting of refractory residue ultramafic rock, overlying shallow crustal cumulates, and capped by fractionated basalt magmas. ⚒️🌋🌎🪨🌊

The Wall Street Journal is reporting on a conspiracy by the White House and ICE to violate the Constitution and conduct warrantless, suspicionless "sweeps" of Hispanic areas of the country. This is criminal behavior, and state police need to start investigating these crimes.

Astonishing: a New Zealand oceanographic survey ship ran ashore b/c the crew inadvertently left the autopilot engaged. Failure of training, but it's also an interaction design failure. The control system lets the crew make inputs with autopilot on, but silently ignores them, providing no feedback.

Huge news, and a confirmation of what NSF staff have suspected/feared for a while.

Science was fun while it lasted, but it’s time for everyone to knuckle down and focus on witch burnings again.

I just want to keep track of references. Why does it need AI? 😭

In recognition of us doing fuck all to reduce emissions, let me remind y'all that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is useless unless we decarbonize drastically. rdcu.be/dbFbB

weird, that the president of the @nationalacademies.org just sees exciting opportunities for innovation in the fascist destruction of institutions, political purges, and turning US science into Lysenkoism But Dumber.

NSF restricts faculty salaries to at most 2 months' worth of salary across all grants they have. This is for the summers when universities don't pay them (9-month contracts!) and it's assumed this is when they will be able to focus full time on the project funded by the grant.
