On July 29, 2025 a Mw 8.8 earthquake off Kamchatka launched a Pacific-wide tsunami, right as the SWOT satellite flew south-to-north taking altimetry measurements of the wave train. In our new preprint, we pair SWOT with nearby DART buoys to capture the tsunami’s propagation and its source

It's utterly beautiful. I have a cup of tea, a book, and I'm on the couch covered in blankets and cats.

"Decision makers ... should expand spending on facilities such as libraries, community centers, social businesses, and public parks to increase resilience to multiple types of shocks and to further enhance the quality of life for residents." Third spaces literally save lives.

Read the banned books. But also read the ones that could be banned. Ones from trans authors, Palestinian authors, and indigenous authors. Read the ones about black happiness and sapphic history. Read the ones from climate scientists and critical comedians. Read the romances and the horror novels.

Today, state building experts are drawing attention to the importance of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings, located all over our state. URM buildings have the most potential to experience collapse and damage during an earthquake. They created this 3-min video. #FixTheBricks youtu.be/2HE56WwI6zE?...

My wife refuses to accept this, but Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman is the greatest musical yet written.

I love that we had to go to our token Straight Guy™ on the team to get help writing this post. Because the rest of us are useless nerdy queers who don't know shit about sports. 😂

Please don't put dead animals on my feed. Tag that shit. Trigger warning that shit. If you wouldn't post a human dead body without warning, do the same for animals. It's common fucking courtesy. I can't believe I keep having to say this.

Not to be a water nerd on main (who am I kidding, that's my whole brand) but WATER IS SO POWERFUL IT'S SCARY. These aren't even tsunami waves!

I think, as a treat, I should just once get to rise up slowly into the air with arms outstretched while the eldritch power I've summoned rains wrath and ruin down upon my enemies from above.

Earthquake is our uncle

Tsunami averted! 🌊🫷😎

STOP IT, KAMCHATKA.

Just heard a fucking DINOSAUR outside but false alarm, it turned out to be a stellar jay.

Painting at the house means pets trapped in my office, and the opportunity for a very well-timed photo. #ShakeOut #Tsunami #CatsOfBluesky #PetsOfBkuesky

Just finished #PantheonAMC on Netflix. It's SO GOOD and SO WEIRD. I wish the show had the time it needed to fully flesh out the final storyline, but it's still such a good watch. Def recommend for fans of sci-fi heavy on transhumanism. Also William Hurt is one of the VAs and his delivery is perfect.

Some #FungiFriends collages! 🍄 #art #collage

Please 100% do this for me.

The Truman Show Stranger than Fiction Barbie (2023) And I will die on this hill. Like, I could go on for HOURS about this.

One fascist shot another fascist, and our entire society decided, at the behest of the fascist regime, to declare political retribution on leftists, transgender, Latino, and Black people, while most white people are publicly chastising us for "celebrating political violence". Don't fall for it.

You've heard of girls, gays, and theys. I offer you the opposite: bros, hoes, and nonbinary foes....

Okay this is HILARIOUS I'm sorry if I do this to like every one of my posts from now on.

The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy. And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Dreamed about a tv show where Dr. House was trying to solve a series of murders to save a patient, only the murders were committed by Hannibal, who was also providing subject matter expertise on the case. The two of them were just so insufferably snarky together. 10/10 would watch again.

It's days like today that I'm glad I worship gods of war and death and justice, because they will never ask me to have compassion for my slain oppressors or people who actively work to make this world a darker, crueller place.

Take a break today and explore the SciArt Feed during #SciArtSeptember. No gen AI, no NFTs. The intersection of art + science.

Anyway here's a red-breasted nuthatch, Sitta canadensis, posing along the trail to Snow Lake 🌿🪶 flic.kr/p/2rokcc3

I will say, one of the nice things about being an apolitical cishet white dude is knowing that, no matter who carries out a mass shooting, your community will not be blamed for it/targeted for collective retribution.

"What are we, a bunch of Asians?" remains painfully relevant.

Prophetic post:

I too would risk death for girlfriend 😔

At an outreach event, so of course I have my requisite multiple queer person drinks.

Trans positivity posts are like: Trans women are ✨💋💖🪷 women 🪷💖💋✨ Trans men are 🔥💙💪⚡men⚡💪💙🔥 Nonbinary people exist

My mom said we could run away into the forest and never be seen again if it's okay with your mom.

Today, WA joins CA and OR in forming the West Coast Health Alliance to ensure our residents continue receiving science-based #PublicHealth recommendations. This partnership ensures our states will continue working with trusted medical orgs to protect our communities' health and safety.

Just more evidence that bumblebees are better than honeybees.

Any attacks on personal autonomy are an attack on ALL autonomy. If you think ceding a little ground to fascists is okay because it's just trans people, or just disabled people, or just brown people, guess what! Soon it will be you!

Have you listened to Iniko yet? Well this song is a fucking masterpiece, so here you go. youtu.be/3DV5mTMMz24?...

@governorferguson.bsky.social @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social @doh.wa.gov @ltgovdennyheck.bsky.social @atg.wa.gov You are supposed to serve and protect the most vulnerable people in our state. You say you stand for trans rights. Well here you go. Time to fight.

And Washington State agencies benefit greatly from it.

In this video, ordained Taoist priest of the Quan Zhen sect in Singapore talks about offerings to deities & to ghosts in an interview. There are bilingual Chinese & English subtitles so I do invite you to watch the little clip.
