Aster and the Fire

Messi saying what the entire audience has been thinking for several pages now. Just what are her and Rakhi meeting about, anyway?…

Hello everyone! I hope you are all surviving the liminal space between Thanksgiving and Christmas, or as every college student knows it as, finals season (RIP to y’all who have to deal with that rn). Unfortunately, I am pretty busy during this time. Currently I am trying to get a review paper submitted to a journal and prepare for my final grad school committee meeting before my PhD thesis defense, which is…haha let’s not talk about that yet lol!! (Also, small update from last week: as it turns out, I am not COVID positive, thank God!!! It feels so good to be able to go back to the gym again.)

Bringing back the weekly fun fact to tell y’all that Rakhi’s nails (claws? talons?) on their mechanical arm are retractable, while Messi’s two mechanical fingernails are not. Wonder why Rakhi went through all the trouble of getting those modifications…

As always, free Palestine
