I also summarized in a shareable google doc, available here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Two dictators in the Oval Office.
The email did not come from the email address identified in initial grant paperwork, either. At least not for us…

If only there had been some sign of what sort of guy Trump is:
I’m taking a glaze chem class! It’s kicking my ass. Here’s my second quadraxial—hopefully a nice semi-matte glaze, dark, with some speckles. Probably not the most interesting colorants, but I’m being positive. :)
Thanks for the shout out! Lmk if you want stickers to slap up around town. I’ll send you some!

Still seeing lots and lots of folks posting things like “don’t they know how devastating this will be!”
YES. THEY KNOW. It’s the WHOLE POINT.
