I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Wrapping up 2025 with what’s become a little series I’ve been working on these last few months. I’m calling them “bodies in motion” as they are comprised of figures and fabrics which seem to have movement of their own. There are 18 now. Here’s the first 12. #ljtanalogcollage #collage

There’s nothing quite like the sensation of running your fingers through dried legumes. I find it soothing.

Open science is not just for researchers. Artist @kindracrick.com created these beautiful neuron portraits with inspiration from Ramón y Cajal's drawings and reference images from our Cell Types Database.

NEW: The entire NIH payment system is currently frozen for all grantees. This is tied to DOGE’s new “Defend the Spend” caper, reported in today’s Post, which has already led to payment cutoffs to doctors and health workers at hospitals treating the poor.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:
