My life and interests in bullet points.

- mother to a severely dyslexic kid. I do a lot of advocating, as severe dyslexics get shut out of the written internet so you do not see their viewpoints expressed.
- long covid suffer, but able to manage it
- Engineer, except math and science jokes.
- Crafter, mainly sewing. Love any kind craft and art.
- Lover of history and architecture
- old house lover, love my 90 year old house.
- black cat affectionado. So cats.

  • @[email protected] My favorite diorama at the old California Academy of sciences was a modern take - diatoms. Basically microscopic sea life.

    When they built the new building they stayed with the historic versions. No more diorama of sea life you can’t see with your naked eye.

    I get the history. But we have wildlife documentaries and photographs in a way that was not possible 100 years ago. Why not show slices of life that isn’t shown in nature documaries? A virus destroying a cell, cellular division, an amoeba stalking its prey. Tardegrades in their natural habitat!

    Instead we have dead gazelles.
