Continuing to post what I read. This reflects my descent into owning a couple of carniverous plants, and trying to understand how different they are then normal plants. As you can imagine this is a scientific read, with peer reviewed papers, and some submissions from lay folks. A botanist dream! 💭

Great time with the Helix Earth crew at the @austinairport.bsky.social contractor and vendor event today. Our airport is building an entirely new airport inside the existing airport.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

As a plant person have I told you how much I love @gemini lately? It’s like a botany cheat code.

So in @disneyprimevideo.bsky.social Tron a billion dollar CEO just takes off into the night on motorcycle with no security carrying the only flash drive with vital life changing information? Do I have that right?

What we lost: “He wanted to be helpful, to help humanity and have a career that was a force of good in the world.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

Welcome to the Spring Semester at the The University of Texas at Austin! This semester I was asked to teach a new class, Strategic Conmunication in the Age of AI 🤖. Was quite the task to teach, build and create two entirely new classes in a row at a Division 1 Research school.

Working hard to save this peace Lilly from the trash. The all water solution worked great and now transitioning it to LECA.

Things we love to see? Climate campaigning working! 💚 The Scottish government has announced a private jet tax, which will ensure the super-rich don’t get a free pass to pollute. Why does this matter? Find out more in this video with Jamie Livingstone, Head of Oxfam Scotland. 👇

Ahhhhh

This hotel has some weird choices for lighting. I’m here for it.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich... "That's just how it is."

My 4yo is home sick today, so we watched “Harry and the Hendersons.” What a great underrated film classic. The practical effects are amazing still today.

Hey @americanair.bsky.social what’s going on w this JFK-AUS flight? It’s been delayed twice now. Can someone give us an explanation?

A new era begins for The Big Apple!

Looking at this as a hopeful touchstone for 2026.
