I made a Horsey Marcheschi and a nice brown circle today... well technically its a few days in the making, as I also pulled the glass and mixed the phosphor and poured it in an all.

These are new colors. Totally custom! I really should start taking better notes- its just tricky when people have a bin of different colors of bar for free- who knows what is what? I guess photo journal.

Now I really want a silver and gold version of this- making amber and pink respectively. I think I also want another funnel- I think I am getting cross contamination.

I am thrilled, and so is Ali. I think we are gonna blow glass on Monday and I shall help her make some carafes and trophies and things and she will pull some tubes with me! I am excited!

I guess I should just go ahead and coat a bunch of tubes to bake out. I shall use the mixes while they are good.

Imagine being so self centered that you assume people are too ignorant or inept to use supposed "resources" which only benefit those who fit the #facist mold that ew ess eh is built on

Instead of thinking - oh, these #marginalized people like #trans #Black #Brown #Immigrant #poor #disabled or ect or MULTIPLY marginalized people probably aren't being helped by the FACIST govt who hates them

And IMAGINE such an assumption while being so scared of an orange man that you cower in fear about them

And all of this isn't even speaking to the dangers outside of the four walls of that cramped hotel room.

Each week, I see more in the way of actions against #brown #immigrants, against the #disabled, against those on the spectrum, against those without stable housing.

Why is it that when the #DNC was due to be held in #Chicago, there was a massive #homeless camp sweep, yet #homelessness wasn't seen as a speaking point in #political debates?

“It is the dimension present whenever the Court's interpretation of the #Constitution calls the contending sides of a national controversy to end their national division by accepting a common mandate rooted in the Constitution.

"The Court is not asked to do this very often, having thus addressed the Nation only twice in our lifetime, in the decisions of #Brown & #Roe.

Please remember that #brown #Indigenous people are being taken and not seen again, here, in the US.

I also want to add, #Hurricane season is a month away and it's predicted to meet or exceed last year and to be most severe in the beginning and end of the season.

The air temperature there is in the 90s, the humidity exceedingly high, car temperatures have a greenhouse effect, just like the earth, leading to a dramatic and deadly increase in temperatures, very quickly.

How to dig your own grave, as a "resistance" group of #universities:

»The signatories come from large state schools, small liberal arts #colleges and Ivy League institutions, including the presidents of #Harvard, #Princeton and #Brown.

In the statement, the university presidents, as well as the leaders of several scholarly societies say they speak with “one voice” and call for “constructive engagement” with the #administration.

“We are open to constructive reform and do not oppose legitimate government oversight,” they write. “However, we must oppose undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live, and work on our campuses.”«

On April 12, 2015, lifelong Baltimore resident #Freddie #Gray was arrested, hogtied and thrown into the back of a police van by six officers.

When Gray was pulled from the van less than an hour later, he was in a coma.

A week later, he passed away from severe injuries to his cervical spinal cord.

The incident, and the revelations thereafter, set Baltimore and the entire country ablaze.

Details of the case alleged officers had taken Gray for a “rough ride,”
a police brutality practice
where individuals are intentionally left unrestrained in police vehicles during dangerous driving maneuvers.

After a coroner ruled Gray’s death a homicide,
the six officers involved in his arrest were charged with crimes ranging from false imprisonment to manslaughter.

But the damage was done, not only to Gray, but to his community,
which had endured decades of deprivations and abuse by Baltimore police.

The resulting #Baltimore #Uprising shook the city and the nation to its core,
fueling a fresh wave of Black Lives Matter protests building on the murders of #Trayvon #Martin, #Mike #Brown, and #Eric #Garner.

(#paywalled)

"After freezing all grants to #Columbia University last week, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is now stopping grant and contract payments to Harvard University and four other universities [#Brown, #Northwestern, #Cornell, #WeillCornell Medical School]…The move will both block new funding and halt payments to investigators currently working on NIH projects…The Department of Health and Human Services (#HHS)…instructed NIH staff not to provide any communication to these institutions or to Columbia about whether the funds are frozen or why, according to the email."
