If you’re new here, here’s a little about me: I’m a licensed geologist and hydrogeologist in Washington State. I am also a certified K-12 math and earth/space science educator in WA. Science communication is my passion.
It’s a wild Saturday night here. Me and a bunch of sick kittens. At least there’s knitting. #showmeyourknits #kittens

I still don’t know who Olivia Nuzzi is and don’t want to.

While I don’t really know or care for her music (I will listen to it but it’s not my usual fare) or her look, Sabrina Carpenter is kind of awesome and she has my respect.

I don’t know what happened but there was an update at some point recently that made the swipe keyboard on my iphone a pain in the ass to use if I need to correct something. It puts an extra space every single time now. 😩

Well shit.
3 atmospheric rivers are coming our way in the next 7 days.⛈️

Flooding is generally not covered by your homeowners policy. You need a separate #flood policy. Learn more here: www.insurance.wa.gov/insurance-re... #floodawarness

Honestly, this and supposedly lower drug prices are silver linings of this administration if they work out. I will totally buy a tiny car.

This is such simple public health intervention that works so well. But these jerks have to grift so we will all be sicker. I cannot wait until actual science comes back. 😩

I’m shocked that this much air traffic doesn’t go through a huge swath of eastern Europe because of an old, megalomaniac dictator.

I am laughing. My agency has a Toxics Cleanup Program division and a Toxic Studies Unit. One of them has a networking event invite and it was titled “Toxic Networking”. 😂

Look at how simple that bill would be but how it would benefit half of the population who goes through this shit that still none of my docs has ever asked me about (I’m almost 50).
This bill is just a carrot to give double continuing education credit to physicians to learn about perimenopause & menopause healthcare. It also requires insurers to cover appropriate care.
My low dosage hormone replacement brought my hip bone density up quickly. Everyone should know about options
"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

And one more thing to complain about. I appreciate that he has highlighted how weird and awful our current leader is, but 1) he used to be with Don Trump Jr’s partner (wife? ex wife?), 2) He’s thrown trans folks under the bus and 3) this ⬇️

Also I’m entirely way too on the internet today but…Pantone. What the…? White? Really?

On the earthquake that wasn’t, I know people will be angry about this but, for an alert app, a false positive is better than a false negative.

I just started using Qobuz for music streaming and the selection is so much better than on Spotify or YouTube music if you’re into more old school indie type rock. And the playlists are also so much better. Spotify can suck it.

Best news I’ve read all month.
Microsoft cuts AI sales quotas as customer adoption lags and stock performance dips.

I don’t use Spotify anymore because reasons. But I do use Youtube music (which I probably also wouldn’t use anymore due to similar reasons). If you like weird combos of music, I’m your gal.

‪What’s wild is people are losing their shit over war crimes but the GOP has never batted an eye over people being snatched off of the street by masked, unnamed ICE agents and tortured or disappeared. What a time to be alive. 😣

Wow
Multiple large natural experiments have documented Shingles vaccine is linked with ~20-25% reduced risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. A new report today adds to that and extends the to slowing the progression of dementia @cellcellpress.bsky.social

Had no idea!
FYI as you head into the holiday season:

Shopify is a Canadian company, but its CEO Tobi Lütke is Maple MAGA in both words & monetary support (under the guise of “free speech” & “open commerce”).
Really beginning to hate Shopify, they are doing a lot to make shopping shittier lately

I love you, Costco. One of the only corporations that doesn’t buckle against the madness of this administration. 💙
Costco Wholesale has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, asking the Court of International Trade to consider all tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act unlawful.
Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs
The wholesaler is the latest company to file a lawsuit against a federal agency over the president's signature economic policy.
