This essay written by Vanessa Andreotti has been reverberating and rearranging me since I first read it a few of days ago. Especially if you are woman in the second half of your life you may find some guiding questions here.

Happy Pride! To my friends and colleagues in the building, and to those I know afar, I’m glad you are you. 🌈

"Your average citizen couldn’t have cared less about oscillators, but those with a knack for rudimentary electronics who were also musicians and/or sound appreciators started harnessing them for music. In the East Village in 1967, a young singer named Simeon Coxe started playing around with one."

my 1st chase-cation. Drove from under the NE cap right to this beast. Pulled up to chuck doswell & dow team as it started. Tried to get ahead and then fled. Rewarded with twin tors to boot. Pictures on film were better than our eyes. What a monster that was. Then it struck our homes the next day.

Fun fact: People often think the hurricane "cone of uncertainty" encompasses *all* potential storm locations. It's actually more like two-thirds. A new experimental cone bumps up the inclusion rate from 67% to 90%. @climateconnections.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/05/chec...

I wrote about why governments must stop relying upon Facebook and X/Twitter to communicate vital disaster information to the public a while back - unfortunately, this issue is only getting worse. You can do something about it: write to your local authorities and demand they change their approach.

I guess we should just get all our rain this month this week. Thats one way of doing it. 2.5” in the last few days. Might actually hit average. Which has been hard to muster…
