- #Bloomscrolling Saw this flower on the cusp of unfurling yesterday
- Fantastic episode of Good on Paper with Paul Niehaus. It doesn't debunk poverty traps. It's a nuanced conversation about how poverty (and it's solutions) vary around the world. Also riffs on positive outcomes (time w/ kids) that appears to decrease income podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...
- I read the Nature article and zoomed in on the map of Los Angeles. Blue is where ground is rebounding (groundwater recharge spreading grounds and injection wells). That red line seems to be our new subway line! Synthetic Aperture Radar @metrolosangeles.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...
- 🎯 The NYT reporting describes not just cracked foundations but the fact that subsidence from overpumping can collapse the gravelly spaces where the groundwater is held. This is how you break an aquifer. It will never recharge with rainwater again. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
- This is a map of public investment in shared infrastructure and I love it. See ⬆️ post for more
- I’m not sure what Dr. Carla Hayden’s biggest crime was as the librarian of Congress, but it was probably one or all of these: / Being Black. / Being a woman. / Being dedicated to the preservation of information.
- She was also dedicated to helping children learn that museums and libraries belong to them. And how to use them for lifelong learning. Primary sources. Critical thinking. Best damn LOC in my lifetime
- I open my Etsy shop for my limited edition signed art prints just 2-3 times a year. I design my botanical photos using recent research so they dial down the fight or flight response in your brain when you look at them. I'll be closing my shop again on Sunday evening: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/silv...

- LA trash haulers are bringing their loads up to the Antelope Valley and dumping it. I saw a river canyon filled -- 30 feet deep and about 60 acres in area -- of solid trash. www.latimes.com/science/stor...
- We closed SERRF trash incinerator in Long Beach last year. We closed all the county clean landfills for political reasons. Why is anyone surprised
- Broad daylight. 85 year old driver of an SUV kills a priest
- I supported myself in grad school as a teaching assistant for upper division quantum mechanics. This is not how physics works
- The latest pick for Surgeon General seems to echo the New Thought movement. 🗃️ “Perhaps the body is simply the material ‘radio receiver’ through which we can ‘tune in’ to the divine." “Humans are out of alignment with the Earth and depleting its life force." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
- These are people who read “The Secret”
- To think I was reading Cohen-Tannoudji. The secret would have been so much cheaper www.amazon.com/Quantum-Mech...
