Prototype for my next art piece :) This one explores time on different worlds through their soils. The hourglass frame took some iterating before it would cut right, really enjoying my Glowforge!

I’m going to be the weirdest one here and say that I love cooking for people who have allergies and/dietary needs. I love learning a new recipe, and I love getting to provide something that is really appreciated.

This is a good opportunity to highlight that BASIC to teaching, much less outstanding teaching, is accessibility. If you've got a TA who helped offer default accessibility to you, making up for the ableism of UC Davis, nominate them.

Do you know a graduate student who deserves to be recognized for exemplary teaching? Then nominate them for an Outstanding Teaching Award by Graduate Studies. Complete the nomination form and make someone's day.

What a long day. A long HISTORIC day. The biggest expansion of tenant protections in LA since the Rent Stabilization Ordinance was passed. PHEW
Feeling so grateful to my colleagues and and the rest of the coalition for their tireless work.

I want to congratulate our City Council — especially the Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee @cd4losangeles — on passing these important protections, which are crucial to combatting a potential spike in homelessness in our city. twitter.com/latimes/status…

TODAY - The Los Angeles City Council will vote on whether or not to adopt a package of renter protections that would take effect when the COVID emergency protections end. It is imperative that they vote to adopt these new protections.
Quote Tweet
COVID tenant protections expire in just 12 days.
That’s why we want you to hear from the people whose lives will be affected most – the tenants.
If we don’t win permanent protections on Friday, far too many renters will end up on the streets.
We can’t let that happen.
