I will watch this later Rhiannon. Things have finally fallen into place and my duties are finally clearer and involve DU, which I was not expecting.

Publicly funded scientists have to do a lot of stuff for free. On the plus side it is finally in a good cause.

I have to draft something for my govt (state and center) here in India in Activist HQ because I am extremely displeased. I would at least like to be able to use my own resources to do my work which looks more serious all the time without creeps and influencers flooding my street for photo ops.

Thank you for all you do Rhiannon. All of you.
I can’t add a smiley because I am not smiling at the moment.

Well maybe just for you: .

And the way things are right now in this country, I try to post some videos that are intended to give my fellow DUers a laugh. Otherwise, I know that most of us are weary at the attacks coming from the felon-in-chief every day and now with his choice to launch a war (which was NOT on my bingo card) it gets more depressing by the day, with our troops in danger and the terrible choices that he keeps making. Oh, wait! Didn't he just say tonight what was over?! Did anyone bother to tell the current regime in Iran??
