https://www.usip.org/grants-fellowships/fellowships/peace-scholar-fellowship-program this is the program BTW, it's funded by the DoD's Minerva Research Initiative https://minerva.defense.gov/

Chair of my department sent out info on a "peace studies" fellowship for PhD candidates funded by the DoD, anyway satire is dead

God being broke is so embarrassing when the world's already falling apart

I would like to do some fundraising for Helene mutual aid and Gaza and Lebanon via drawings soon but unfortunately have to get out of the negative bank balance first

added a new plotter drawing to my shoppy shop today: https://wares.lifewinning.com/products/moab-plotter also am currently in a pretty bad place cash-flow wise so if you have been thinking you'd like some plotter art now's a good time to buy

field statements for quals getting spicy

submitted a job application please clap

Last night a friend visiting from out of town casually mentioned some mutual friends had told her they were concerned that I've been isolating and that I'm not okay

And I mean, obviously, but it kind of stinks to learn that everyone can see

Extremely tense and anxious about what's going down in Lebanon and how much worse it might get
