Golden hour

RFK Jr: “Research on vaccines and autism has been suppressed.” PubMed: “Here’s over 1200 research papers on vaccines and autism… …including this first one which is a meta-analysis showing that vaccines are not associated with autism.”

Picked up my new shiny student ID and then had to capture some of the pretty architecture around campus!

These people out there having all kinds of naming fun!

Sunny and warm today as opposed to yesterday’s rain

Life has happened, and we need to put a pause on The Reading Party Podcast. Lexie is starting a PhD program in the UK at the University of Bristol this September. Megan is taking a step back from freelance projects to focus on her family and her more profitable ventures.

Couldn’t forget to post: new first day of school, new decade, new uni to represent!

On today’s episode of AOH, Dr. Caroline Arbuckle MacLeod, an Egyptologist and professor of Near Eastern Archaeology at the University of Saskatchewan, discusses her interest in daily life, beliefs, and preservation of ancient Egyptian sites, woodworking and the significance of woods in coffins.

Welcome back for a very special bonus episode of The Reading Party podcast! Join us as we sit down with Melissanthi Mahut and Michael Antonakos, the voices behind Kassandra and Alexios in Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

A few snaps from my little self guided orientation walk around the main University of Bristol campus this morning! I found Gromit!

I’m more used to saying this to people on the Left than people on the Right, but, “hate speech” is not an exception to the First Amendment. “Hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment unless it falls into a traditional established exception.

How you know you’re definitely back in the UK: train just apologised for leaving exactly 1 minute late 🤣 compared to Amtrak that’s incredible!

Good morning from high above London! 🇬🇧

Grok is being sent to the reeducation camp

Today’s the day 😬 moving to the UK to start my PhD program 😅 don’t ask how I’m feeling. Oh, and I’m turning 30 tomorrow 😵‍💫

Ribs and my bestie. Can’t think of a better way to spend my 2nd to last day in the US.

SARS-CoV-2 triggers lasting epigenetic changes in stem cells and immune cells, locking the body into a chronic inflammatory state. This reprogramming drives Long COVID symptoms and may require therapies that reset immune memory. davidlingenfelter.substack.com/p/the-epigen...

And today’s the day! We sold my car in advance of leaving for the UK. I got it for college back in 2014 and boy it’s been a fun 11 years. Thanks for all the memories car!

While political violence has no place anywhere, I do believe the world is a better place without his vile beliefs in it. Thoughts and prayers. Ban guns.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Another early 30th birthday celebration before leaving the US! So good to spend it with one of my oldest friends (best friends since 2nd grade) and her family. Thanks so much for the lovely cake surprise!

Spent the day down in Hyde Park seeing friends at UChicago so naturally couldn’t resist hitting up ISAC. They got some new beautiful watercolour paintings up in the Persia gallery! And obviously had to see my boy Pazuzu.

Literally the second meme I've made in my life.

We’re so fucking cooked

He legit called America a “White Homeland”. “What is an American?” Schmitt asked. It is a white person. America is a white homeland that organically binds together white people of the past, present and future. And its policies must be guided for their benefit if they are to succeed. 🤬

Oh this is so accurate

All things Roman horsies! ❤️

Little end of summer afternoon walk by the lake

Good to see the feeling that Bluesky is now the most popular place for real scientific info and academics backed up by statistics! arstechnica.com/science/2025...

I am a huge nerd, but look at my new phone case!!

Ya girl just got a sweet back to school haircut!
