Down the hall is an air filtration machine, so loud, even with headphones on, I could hear it. So the door is closed. They’ve ripped up all our sidewalks and replaced them with gravel surrounded by those orange mesh fences. FSM forbid you want to wear heels. The stairwell smells like varnish (thus the air…

I’m not sure what to think of this story about a Philadelphia-based religion and science think tank that have given ASU 1/2 mil. for a project to “connect” religion and science.
