Best of luck, Karina! We’ll support you, whether that’s in the next big spotlight or off the stage altogether. 🫂

Doing research about cochineal dye (made from the tiny little cochineal insects) and I’m wondering:

Is there is any truly painless way to kill an insect?

With all of the papers coming out that seem to show a strong case for insects being able to feel pain, the typical traditional methods of making this dye—slow dehydration or boiling them alive—seem quite cruel. :(
