I’m currently in Kenya and found out that the cancellation of USAID means the end of HIV prevention measures. So all the advances that were made in controlling HIV are now in jeopardy #USAID #HIV

Hey folks, don’t feed your cats any kind of raw poultry, whether bits from some you’re preparing for yourself or commercially produced raw cat food. And don’t let your cats out. Bird flu kills cats, even if your cats don’t hunt birds, they could be exposed through feces or shared water or dead birds

If anyone needs a reprieve from well everything here are some pumbas enjoying lunch outside my room in Maasai Mara, Kenya

Our planet is just so incredible and beautiful

Deep Space Network operations have moved to backup control center at Goldstone. This is first and only time in the history of the DSN that has occurred. It has been in 24/7/365 operation at JPL since 1964. DSN talks to spacecraft beyond Earth orbit, including the Voyagers and Mars rovers. #eatonfire

Time for walkies! Halloween is over and it’s almost Thanksgiving but Ember will still rock her Halloween harness

🤬 I guess I will have to take this thing apart instead of printing today

Having to disassemble my Bambu X1C was a nightmare that I never want to repeat. Thanks @josefprusa.bsky.social for designing sustainable 3D printers youtu.be/O04RM-KCP68?...

This is the official statement from Qidi's CEO regarding the electrical/fire hazard on the QIDI Plus 4. Qidi separately apologized to @3dmusketeers.bsky.social in an email. If you purchased a Qidi Plus 4 3D Printer, please be sure to check your emails.

Without open source, 3D printing would not be where it is today

Brick Layers: the Promise of Stronger 3D Prints and Why We Cannot Have Nice Things

@Staples I have been trying to submit a print order but your website keeps timing out. Please fix this!

Today Ember decided to escape her harness on a walk, capture a lizard, and bring it inside the house to play with 🤦🏻‍♀️ Happy #Caturday everyone!

@paulakahumbu I have questions about helping the Maasai village in Amboseli my group works with farm their own food in the presence of elephants. What is the best way to contact you?

Sigh. I thought cats liked to stay clean. Ember just rolled in the dirt 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s #EarthDay and I wanted to share some photos of @OlPejeta in Kenya of the last northern white rhinos. This is the grave of Sudan, the last male. The other 2 are Najin and Fatu, the last 2 females #rhinos #kenya #olpejeta

Last month I went to Kenya 🇰🇪 with a wonderful organization called Friends of Woni. While there I met the Maasai of Amboseli National Park. I helped them start an Instagram and would love to get them some followers https://instagram.com/meleiproject?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Ember wants to know why all this water has been falling from the sky. At least we got one walk in this morning before the rain started again

P-22 had the best veterinary team in the world assessing him. I wish more could have been done to save him and I am in tears over this loss https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-12-17/p22-obituary-celebrity-mountain-lion-cougar-puma-griffith-park-california

An update on Ember. She has been with me a month now since I adopted her from @susanbellair and we have started walking on a harness. So many new plants & smells to explore!

My @bambulabGlobal Carbon X1 3D printer arrived. Ember volunteered to set it up for me #bambulab #3Dprinting

Me: I’ve got printing with PLA down My 3D printer: You may want to re-examine that statement #3Dprinting #PLA #OverturePLA #prusa #prusabear

2 days of @Comic_con and my fellow attendees are doing a great job of masking up. The exhibit hall vendors not so much #SDCC #ComicCon
