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)

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.

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"

Found a picture of Kitty from shortly after the animal rescue took her from a kill shelter that was going to put her down and it breaks my heart how skinny and scared she looked then but also I remember seeing this picture on their website and thinking "maybe this is my dog"

at the end of a video game it is customary to say "gg" which stands for Greta Gerwig
When I was a teenager I did weird video art summer camp where we watched experimental films all day, no ambition just vibes
Absolutely terrified by the notion of a teenager with enough conviction to say "yes, I will do investigative journalism summer camp at the snootiest newspaper in the land"
Took a bunch of teenagers doing summer camp at the New York Times (????) on an internet walking tour and bless the one teenager who thought the whole thing was so incredible and didn't try to act too cool
