I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal. If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

PS. Please note that I do not recommend engaging with the trolls. As I explain here, that just feeds them. This series is for everyone else who wants to satisfaction of knowing the facts!

You’ve probably heard this claim: Climate’s always changing! It's true, Earth’s climate has changed before. But not this fast, and not for this reason. Introducing Cold Facts, Hot Takes: my new series of evidence-based replies to common troll takes 🔥 Want the whole episode? Links below ⬇️

Why am I doing this? Well, climate talk has dropped like a rock since January. And fewer invites mean less support for my small but mighty Talking Climate team. But silence isn’t an option: so I'm stepping it UP! If you believe climate conversations matter too, please subscribe and share 💚💬🌎

What a coincidence!

Happy #adhd treasure season (finding lost things in your coat pockets from last winter) to all who celebrate

My partner's grandfather served as well. Art served in WWII as a Captain. Being of direct Polish descent, this was very personal to him and his family. Upon returning home he earned a master's degree in chemical engineering under the tutelage of his future wife. He always had a crazy story to […]

Shout-out to both my grandfathers today, who were both veterans. Joe was deployed to fight in WWII though his primary role was playing trombone in the military band. He earned money playing for the circus when he was a teen, and after returning home settled down to become a band teacher. Al went […]

So I started an audio book last week which I've been enjoying, bit it sire seemed like it was taking a while to get places and about 6 hours in we got to a big confrontation with the bad guy that really felt like it was more of an introduction than anything else. Weird. Friends, I just checked […]

Good evening from #boco #colorado

Have you heard about this? "As the govt shutdown drags on, buildings at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (HQ for the Webb telescope among other missions) are being emptied without notice. Highly specialized equipment is at risk of being thrown away like trash." h/t @climatebrad.hillheat.com

Working on Christmas ornaments this weekend. I usually make a dozen or so to give to friends and family. Left to right is my progress so far!

Pica is getting what she deserves for her many crimes today. #picathecat #caturday #catsofmastodon

Chat, I've been trapped for over an hour. My computer is out of battery. My legs are cramping. I'm out of water. Send help #Cat #Cats

Mud Maid — Sculpture by Sue Hill in Cornwall, UK: This moss-covered figure of a woman rests on the forest floor at The Lost Gardens of Heligan. Her face is sculpted from clay and softened by time, while her hair and body are formed from earth and living […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

While there are many things wrong with the world in 2025, one of the things that’s totally right is the incredible democratization of science--how curiosity, affordable technology, and perseverance can now bring the universe within reach. The non-NASA images here are my son's! ☺️

[The Witcher show S04, sexual assault] All right noping right out of that. Season 4 of The Witcher is a big red flag right out of the gate. Episode 1 a guy starts sexually assaulting Ciri and a friend pulls him off and kicks him down the road. She then comforts an obviously traumatized Ciri […]

So season 4 of #TheWitcher is out, now starring Liam Hemsworth, because Cavill got fed up with their terrible storylines and left. It doesn't bode well that the first thing I think of when I see the cover art is that it's a porn parody like that Pirates of the […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

I think a lot about that one line from the second X-Men movie, "have you tried not being a mutant?" In that one singular line, the movie effortlessly pivots an analogy about the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, struggles against racial oppression, and recontextualizes it to be about […]

Colorado voters overwhelmingly supported a pair of ballot measures that aim to ensure every public school child in the state is able to access free meals at their schools. Proposition MM increases taxes on wealthy households earning more than $300,000 annually. The measure supplements a […]

[Dresden Files Speculation] Okay more #DresdenFiles speculation because thats my hobby I know Ive talked about Mab's reference to Tam Lin before (at Harry's bday party: no one's treated them like that since the days of Tam Lin) and how its foreshadowing that Harry will lose the mantle of the […]

Google Maps is pretty much the only Google cloud service I still use¹. This might be the push I need to get rid of even that last thing. https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/05/google-maps-bakes-in-gemini-to-improve-navigation-and-hands-free-use/ ___ ¹There's some slight exceptions here and there […]

Introductory Mi'kmaq language classes are starting up again in January. Because of the residential school system, this is a critically-endangered language. You can help keep it alive for the next generation. https://outdoorlearning.com/event/mikmaw-winter-2026/ #speakmikmaq #linguistics #indigedon

As I am one of the climate scientists he is referring to here - and I am a scientist who decided to dedicate her life to working on climate precisely because of how unjustly it disproportionately impacts the poor and vulnerable - let me clarify my rationale and thoughts below. 🧵

Did I just send the "I Voted" werewolf ripping its shirt off in front of an American flag sticker to all my colleagues at work? Yes I sure did. Do you all get to appreciate it too? You sure do. #IVoted

So, uh, Wha'chyall doin on March 28th? Cause imma be helping to break the record for the most attended professional women’s sports event in U.S. history. #denversummit #denversummitfc https://coloradosun.com/2025/11/03/denver-summit-first-home-game-mile-high-stadium/

I have this ongoing fascination with how modern some of the antique things look - here jewelry from old Egypt, from 3500 years ago, as seen yesterday in the lovely old Egypt exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities / Rijksmuseum van Oudheden / #RMO in #leiden.

Bag done! This thing took way longer than I expected (probably a good 15-20 hours) but dang it's cool. #lotr #ranger #DIY #crafting #leathercraft #leatherwork #leatherworking

Such a pretty, bright green lichen on the base of a maple tree #lichen #lichensubscribe #pnw

I just made an extra donation to my local food bank. It's going to be a rough time for a lot of people who suddenly aren't getting SNAP benefits, and nobody should go hungry. If you're able to help, please do.

We received a bird feeder with spicy sunflower seeds (to deterr squirrels) as a housewarming gift. I just hung it up, and of course I had to try it out myself to check how spicy they really are. Ate 1 seed. Yup. They sure are spicy. #Birds #squirrels

Was reading a post about the Romantasy genre and how often it's often just female leads with terrible self worth swooning over abusive and gaslight-y men. I've already a lot of Romantasy (for writing research) and a lot of smut (not for writing research) and i can say with confidence that smut […]

If you want to know what society-wide Ponzi schemes lead to, look at what happened to the former Soviet states after SU-collapse for an example. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I recommend reading Lea Ypi's "Free". Especially the final chapters, "Like the rest of Europe" and "1997" […]
