i’m so past wanting to dunk on people who are following junk science. they have been duped by politically motivated actors.
i want them to be well. i want them to trust the chorus of legitimate scientific voices advocating for their wellness. for their own sake and all of ours.

(for the record - if you’re thinking of making a cabinet from 3/4” melamine sheets, it’s tedious. and heavy - 90lbs/sheet. next time i would use plywood and paint it white)

in the background of my
previous photo: this lamp. the original shade wasn’t made from UV resistant plastic i guess; it brittled and cracked. i jokingly made a replacement shade out of a cottage cheese container.
the cottage cheese container has lasted for 8 years so far.

For what it’s worth, I was involved in a “Resource Action” which is a nicer way to say “staff reduction” or “layoff.” I was as surprised as most of my coworkers and acquaintances were when I told them.
