Buying one houseplant is a gateway drug to creating a rainforest in your living room.

Not everything is black-and-white. #Photography

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how discovering that I’m neurodivergent has changed how I see myself and how I move through the world. It’s given me words for patterns and feelings I never fully understood before. I wanted to share some of that here. (thread🧵👇🏻)

I will gladly take your expired chocolate.

I hate that saying “if you know you know” because no I don’t know

Pockets, for when men don't know what to do with their hands.

Remember when we'd accidentally give the cashier a bunch of pocket lint with our handful of coins, and we'd both pretend that it didn't happen? 🤔 Ah, awkward interaction with a stranger.. those were the days.

That time of year when I download all my taxable income and deduction information from the government so I can file my tax return with the government. 🤔

It was a nice treat to watch the highlighting of collaborative human ingenuity and achievement the last few days rather than the normal constant callous indifference, ignorance and destruction of our very common humanity and the world in general, by a handful of oppressive greedy despots.

I'm an introvert, but the kind that needs my people nearby while I ignore them.

Mark Hamill liked something I reposted… that means I’m almost Jedi adjacent

The science of titration and my morning cappuccino.

The most complex part of the Artemis 2 mission is getting the crew out of the Integrity capsule. Apparently.

How long is the quarantine to ensure they haven't changed in strange ways barely perceptible to their closest friends and family?

A GENTLE REMINDER: we are trying to eliminate fossil fuels because using them kills us. If fossil fuels were cheap (they're not) or reliable (they're SO NOT), it would still be urgent to get rid of them because their intended use destroys our life support systems.

"I didn't like your photo so here are two edits that I did that are much better than the reality of what you actually saw and captured in yours." Um, thanks?

You know a job posting sucks when they list "on-site parking" as one of their benefits.

Energize. #Photography

Streisand Effect has been activated. #MelaniaEffect

we don’t care who you spread your legs for ma’am. Release the files.

I don’t trust that pen I stole from my bank

I’m old enough to remember when “tracking” wasn’t about data — it was fixing the lines on your VHS so the movie didn’t look haunted.

okay well listen i did try but i think at some point it's probably best to accept that this isn't going to work and we should all just move on (being at work for an hour)

Thanks to advanced age and endless incredulity, my response to everything I hear these days always begins with "I'm sorry, what?"

We were so carefree back then, doing cartwheels, joking about our measly 99 problems, and stale joke formats wasn't one of them.

That oh so naive time I created and logged onto a social media account sixteen years ago just to find a food truck.

"Following 253,000.. no posts.. no pfp.. No bio.." No

Good day sunshine. #Photography

Ceasefire: a brief moment for reloading. Apparently.

Still waiting to open that special occasion bottle of champagne, you know the one. 😕

I was concerned, but the doctor assured me that feeling like I'm about to die is normal.

My one-hour special “Rick Steves Iran: Yesterday and Today,” which helps humanize 90 million Iranian people, is streaming free and ad-free at www.ricksteves.com/watch-iran.

"Now is the [nuclear] winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of [New] York;"

⏰️ 4, 3, 2, FFS..

Is anyone else having a hard time doing anything that matters while waiting for 8pm est?

Really feeling it today. #Photography

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

The last time a psychopath threatened to annihilate me I was 30, w/16 mo child. I flew away from danger, 99% sure it was necessary. Some ppl called me hysterical, but I knew I did the right thing giving up everything/starting over. Sometimes we have to make bold decisions. Like today, for instance.

You're not looking for a serious relationship? Sorry, I take friendships seriously. Even the casual, occasional interaction ones. I take you seriously.. Oh, maybe you actually mean a romantic relationship.. yeah, no.. ew.

A madman is intent on triggering world destruction. Meanwhile in sports news....

So, about the FIFA World Cup.. No 👎 🚫

"I may start world demolition tonight, and how about that ballroom?"

I miss who I thought we were

the bag of doritos in the pantry just texted me 'you up?'

For a moment I thought that Bluesky was being weird because of some new update being installed and activated. Nope, it's just us.

one thing about me is that i’ll struggle to open a wrapper for five minutes before i use the scissors in front of me

Considering the light incidence and reflection angles to the calculation of surface albedo.. Then, the retrieval method of spectral albedo based on bidirectional reflectance models inversion and narrowband-to-broadband albedo conversion.. I probably set the brightness too high on my phone.

Back in the day they used to fix the TV by smacking it on the side. 🤔 [Smacks phone to fix lagging Bluesky app]

OTHER SCALES: Up to ten. CLOUD SCALE: Nine’s fine.
