HAPPY THANKSGIVING. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR PRINT MEDIA RECS! I wanna support slow, thoughtful, beautiful, analogue journalism in 2025. Read on for more details 📰
ALT Hey! I’m going to be quitting social media for 2025. No X, no IG, no FB, no BlueSky, and no Substack app. Instead, I want to put my money where my values are and invest in quality print media and slow journalism along four axis: 1) science/medicine 2) politics/culture 3) philosophy/literature 4) DIY/house design. Do you have any magazines or periodicals that you subscribe to that you’re particularly fond of that foster in you a sense of curiosity, reflection, and an opening of perspective? Digital subs are okay, but I really want to minimize my online presence and my browser tabs. I’d like to capitalize on some Black Friday deals available so please share soon if you get a chance!!

They give you a deeper understanding of childhood, one that you cannot gain from your own childhood because you yourself were too small to understand.
They're quite fun. Many things you only really learn by trying to teach, and they give endless opportunity.

Nine years ago today I was at the Fondazione Lisio in Florence learning to weave velvet by hand on a 19th-century jacquard loom. I designed the pattern and hand-punched the cards myself. This technology was the basis for the binary computing system pioneered by Ada Lovelace.

always a delight when a structural biology methodology wins a nobel prize, though i'll always think cryoem and xray crystallography are superior methods #justsayin #reallifeisbetterthanAI

I'm working on a pitch for an open call and my husband made a comment about how amazing it is that someone can just throw a loose theme out in the world, dangle some monetary compensation for accepted articles, and people will spend their energy on delivering something.
