Two dead mice yesterday and 2 today. Not loving this.

Working alongside my sister today and I'm reminded what I was like working in an open floor plan. The sistertime is epic and wonderful, but I am gonna need some headphones for focus as we parallel work!

Ordered a collection of poems by Edna St Vincent Millay, published this century. Instead got a first edition of her poetry book for children. What a delightful mistake!

Full circle

*exhale* I'm fighting for the light with everything I've got but damn, the darkness is chasing me down. I not recovered from navigating mis/dis information about kids and covid. There is no "do your own research". I'm just a single mom doing my best. I need experts who already did the research.

I love the light all around the edges, proving to the dark that there's more than meets the eye. The dark can't have the whole thing.

🧪🛰️ 🌍 The title says it all. A very well articulated text from TerraWatch. It reflects and articulates very well what many in the #EarthScience world has been saying for a while. Glad to see that people outside the science community is noticing. newsletter.terrawatchspace.com/why-science-...

At least one of these comes with a poem and I wish I could read it. Incredible art.

Just had a #gisday2025 celebration and man, that totally lifted my spirits. GIS is democracy in action with open source, collaboration, creativity, and people who really really care about telling the human story on this potato we call a planet. #gischat

The faculty has never ever been united in opposition to leadership and now here we are. Nobody cares more about the institution than them and they are trying to tell us something important.

... and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do – determined to save the only life you could save. MARY OLIVER sudara.org/2015/08/31/i...

Shame for women is a bunch of competing conflicting expectations about who we are supposed to be. It's a straightjacket. For men, shame is not being perceived as weak. Shame is an epidemic in our culture. www.youtube.com/watch?v=psN1...

I rarely wish I worked in an office, but I could use the distraction today.

I knew the tension was going to destroy me, it already had. I thought if I did the work & gave the grace that I could make beauty bloom again. I turned into the road, so useful nearly all of the time while worn down day after day. Only noticed when drivers hit the bumps. Then I did it again.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!

In time, you will make your bed with this new order. In time, you will simply make the bed and lie down. #wintersolstice www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...
