@MHowell it just sort of came to me as if in a dream
A mind palace full of bedbugs
@tim no shade to standard nonfiction--I love it! But it's not where I'm at I guess.
@rowmyboat "what kind of book doesn't even have pictures" —Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, my main demographic
just need to figure out how to make money being a silly little dilettante
one time a friend slipped up and sort of implied they didn't think Networks of New York was a "real" book and it has haunted me for years but the more I read "real" books on the subjects I'm into the more I'm like "this is not how I want to do it"
trying to make peace with the idea that maybe my ideal writing format is the field guide (informing while informal, beginner-friendly, less about how cool I am and more about getting people excited about stuff)
@gwenprime that is a murder basement not a bedroom

It took 2 years to build this size of Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant which sequesters CO2 out of the air.
It will apparently capture the equivalent of about 36 seconds of global emissions annually (or 5 Taylor Swifts as we can now call it).
Now we just need another 876,000 of them.
Come on guys...even they must see this isn't going to work.
@a I am struggling to mentally track how many projects of mine this likely affects
https://stamen.com/here-comes-the-future-of-stamen-maps/ excited for an entirely new generation of broken maps online when lots of people don't migrate old projects!! (I understand why but still, lol)
@nk I hardly even know her
@LauraC_rter I don't know why my brain actively refuses to retain "ontology" but good to know it's not just me
one reason I am pretty sure the tenure track job path is not for me is that I have post-it notes above my desk with definitions for "epistemology" and "ontology" that I have to look at literally every time I run into those words
Kitty just had a little waffle and wonders if maybe she could also have my waffle

I kind of love that Rob Thomas personally annotated the lyrics to "Push" on Genius, what a dork

Ambon White-eye
A small songbird with a conspicuous white eye-ring, a green face and upperparts, a bright yellow throat, a white belly, and a yellow base to the undertail. Pairs and small groups occur in the lowlands in forest, edge, sparsely wooded areas, and gardens. Restricted to Ambon, except for a few records from Seram. Separated from Warbling and Lemon-bellied White-eyes by its white belly, and from Seram White-eye by its green face and forecrown. Song comprises a rapid, pleasant warble. Also gives penetrating “tzew” notes.

Something very frustrating about the fact that after a little under ten years of doing educational work on internet infrastructure I am still seeing articles and essays where authors will say "people don't understand that 'the cloud' is real"
