🔥 Wildfire smoke and health New studies warn wildfire smoke could kill 1.4M people worldwide each year by 2100 if emissions stay high. The US alone may see 70k deaths annually by 2050. 🔗 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #SciComm #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires #AirQuality 🧪

Rereading Sheri Fink’s Five Days at Memorial and I forgot she mentions the bane of my PhD, John Rawls. Rawls, Hegel, and Heidegger haunted my PhD. I could never escape them.

just nsync being insink: thread

I need a substitute teacher to wheel a TV in from the hallway for the rest of 2025 please

America's beef cattle herd is the smallest in 75 years, in part because of drought. Beef imports are also down, because of tariffs. Unsurprisingly, beef prices are at record highs www.npr.org/2025/09/18/n...

Decided to wear my love of weather and being a proud disaster and hazards historian on my sleeve. Or at least my wrist.

Research during the day means fun, quick reads at night. Really enjoyed Reagan Revord’s debut novel Rules for Fake Girlfriends. #BookSky 📚💙

The misplaced optimism of the academic who appends .FINAL to their latest document

I want to get into my fall cozy vibes but it is so freaking hot.

Read some fun books but now back to some research. Rereading Five Days and reading the others for the first time.

Loved Lessons in Power by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. I wish there were more books in The Fixer series! #BookSky 📚💙

Everyone else: you doing okay? Me: sure sure. Butterflies and rainbows. Why do you ask? Everyone else: well you finished one book today and then read another 300 page book in a few hours. Me: don’t question my avoidance methods….

Loved The Ruling Class by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Next up is book 2 in the series. #BookSky 📚💙 For those of you following along at home, I am working my way through books I own and books that came out during my PhD so I couldn’t read them then. Plus some newer releases thrown in the mix.

Really enjoyed my first Riley Sager book The House Across the Lake. Looking forward to reading more. #BookSky 📚💙

A real one. www.startribune.com/brooks-legen...

99 YEARS AGO TODAY, the afternoon edition of the Miami News warned about the coming storm. At that time, a "tropical storm" just meant a storm originating in the tropics. They knew it was a "severe" hurricane. The forecast changed during the day. The morning Herald had said the storm would miss.

I’m proud to say that @noaa.gov and NCEI has released a 1 year retrospective on #Helene using ESRI Story Maps. arcg.is/aqCD4 Here is a brief thread of how this came to be and how NOAA can still do good things (even while wearing pajamas).

A friend of mine co-owns this bookstore. This is not great. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/d...

Maybe we are in the bad place because none of us forwarded those emails to 5 friends

I love Below Deck. The first few seasons of the original and Med are so good. But this season was painful.

No, Mount St. Helens is not erupting. After a long, hot, and dry summer, strong southeast winds are stirring up loose ash from the 1980 eruption! Here's the view from a DNR Pano cam. Not something you see every day... #wawx

Happy #PubDay to @theladyaye.bsky.social! You aren't going to want to miss her haunting new book, WHEN WE SPOKE TO THE DEAD. Like a warm mug of cocoa, it’s the perfect companion to kick off spooky season. 👇

I absolutely loved These Heathens by Mia McKenzie. I read it in one day. The writing is incredible. You feel like you’re there with the characters. And highlights important topics is such a well done way. #BookSky 📚💙

So so excited!! Shared America’s Most Gothic with my The Morbidly Curious Book Club friends and a bunch of us preordered!

Got so so sick last night and still not doing great today. The fun game of what’s made my body angry: did I catch some germs (my body welcomes them in with no screening test) or am I having a super delayed reaction to the Covid shot I got on Friday. We likely will never know.

This is Finny. He doesn’t go chasing waterfalls. He carefully studies their timing and arrives in advance. 14/10 very impressive (TT: jordancain70)

Coastal storm threatens heavy rain, gusty winds and flooding this week both at the Maryland and Delaware beaches, and along the Mid-Atlantic coast in general. Details: cwg.live

I love We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry so much. I’m obsessed. Easily one of my favorite books. Massachusetts, the 80s, witch trials. Everything this born in New England historian could want. #BookSky 📚💙

Danger and damage is not all about the category. The Saffir-Simpson Scale is based on wind, but the most dangerous component of hurricanes in recent years has been water - storm surge, rain, flooding.

🚨new pub alert!🚨 Absolutely thrilled that my new paper with Julia Sbroglio and Holly Gibbs is published at the Review of Economics of the Household. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Who doesn’t a book about loving books - Love Walked In by Sarah Chamberlain. Also part of me expanding beyond my usual genres. #BookSky 📚💙

Unless you’re also an editor and have to go back over some to make sure you read what you read even if you’re just reading for fun haha

When is the world gonna learn to stop messing with Poland. It never ends well. For anyone.

A new hurricane scale has been proposed by a professor at University of South Florida. They believe it is a better scale than the Saffir Simpson Wind Scale. My discussion in Forbes dot com. What do you think about what they propose? www.forbes.com/sites/marsha... --

Reading Love Walked in by Sarah Chamberlain and this is so spot on. “People who don’t baa when they see a sheep or moo when they see a cow fundamentally hate joy.” (108)

Beau living his best life on this #Caturday.

Next up in reading books I already own was The Island of Lost Girls by Alex Marwood. #BookSky 📚💙

Our region is chock-full of spotted lanternflies. National Weather Service radar is detecting them yet again today. Stomp them!

Sometimes you just need to read some fluff - You’ll Find It All Still Here by Lisa Greenwald. #BookSky 📚💙

Oh my goodness! The Market Basket drama back home!!!

Not big ship stuck but a few days ago a barge got loose on the Cape Cod Canal and ended up sideways.

Continuing to read books I already own and bring more non-fiction/research back into the lineup with Codename Pale Horse: How I Went Undercover to Expose America’s Nazis by Scott Payne with Michelle Shephard. #BookSky 📚💙

This is why I changed my title to disaster and hazards historian - looking at both natural and human made, it makes for some interesting conversation about why we don’t use the term natural disaster.

I still don’t always make this connection lol

For how much I love finishing notebooks, you would think I would stop hoarding them. But you’d be wrong.

I really just think everyone needs to read more books and then get maybe pizzas as prizes for reading those books.

This month’s #TMCBC pick is In the Mouth of the Wolf by Katherine Corcoran. #BookSky 📚💙

I love this about my hometown. Have always supported our science village and the important research scientists do there and will continue to do so always!

Upper cape.

Had to do a double take because I definitely thought this was Sam Cieri, lead singer of Nicotine Dolls, when I first looked.
