Odd. Interests include disability activism, socks, loud music, nail polish and whatever I’m obsessing over this week.

Prototype set of #whisky glasses with implosion bases finally made it home today. I really like these and might have to make some more....

One of the best parts of my academic committee work is that I get regular meetings with @planet4589.bsky.social, who is a lovely human and has the best public database on launches and reentries https://planet4589.org/space/index.html

The worst part is hearing all the stuff that happened in orbit since the last time we met.... A few highlights from today's meeting:

-There are now 10,049 Starlink satellites above our heads. More than 1,500 have already been burned up in Earth's atmosphere.

I’ve heard it said
that it takes around 17 years
in order for health findings
to truly impact
mainstream practices,
which I suppose means
we’re just another 10 years away
from people realizing
they should really try to avoid
catching Covid repeatedly.

I still need to buy new lights (and some large-ish softboxes), but my new backdrops and holder arrived!

Slowly getting things ready to do nice photography of my glass over the next few months πŸŽ‰ - but for now enjoy a couple of recent pieces with some very awkward lighting.

Your daily affirmation:
Being called strange is a badge of honor, but you can be stranger still. Don't hold back.

Happy birthday to Caroline Herschel (1750 –1848) a trail blazing woman in #astronomy. Hers was a real life Cinderella story where rather than marrying a prince, she made a life and career for herself. Marriage was her expected role but she was deemed unmarriageable, since a childhood bout of typhus stunted her growth. Her mother thought she should train to be a servant & purposely stood in the way of her learning 🧡
