Y'all, I need you find something to consume that calms you and get out for a bit because I've seen enough "no actually we ARE in a Civil War" and "I blame Biden for the Letitia James indictments" for a lifetime.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

So many friends. So much connection with people I’d never otherwise meet. Confidence of my place in the world as I figure myself out.

Not all of social media is bad.

In fact, most of it can be quite good.

It all depends on the user. And the experience you craft.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

One of my best friends is reading it and it’s going to be my next series after I finish Maas. Everyone says it’s wonderful.

How about they gut the entire ride building, expand it, build a Viking adventure ride in the Norway Pavilion, and send all of this Frozen stuff over to Fantasyland where it belongs?

This is a post from 2014. And another account.

Don’t mind me.
