Opalite. That's the first earworm for me. #taylorswift

The fate of Ophelia is my fav so far on the new Taylor Swift album. I am digging this poppy disco groove.

I was up early today, and Starlink was down. This is important to note because we live in a forest right now, and we have no other way to get to the internet than Starlink. It was down for over three hours, and you know, in 2025, kind of wonder if the world exploded while you were asleep.

Finally got a photo, even if meh, of the #warbler. All summer I've been hearing him. Ay last! #birds

Magpies, like pigeons or gulls. Still so odd to me after living all these months in CO. #birds

My father died when his plane crashed in Mexico when I was 10yo. I'm 54yo now. I've decided to start telling the story of his life as best I can. I haven't decided exactly how the story is going to be shared. I could even give up tomorrow. Get overwhelmed! Change my mind. Until then ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@audiecornish.bsky.social re: yachts podcast. Cleaning the head with a Q-tip might not be about humiliation. It's a legit tool. I have a 1990 Endeavour 42. I am not part of the haves. My yacht is not golden. But it is a yacht worth about $100k. Marine heads are not like land toilets. 1/2

Besides I saw deer this morning while looking for birds. The doe and her twins were across the river from our campsite, I just need to get up at 6am to see them. The buck was down river a ways. I felt like I was being watched. I was. #deer #wildlife #colorado

Headed out at 6am to see what animals of Pike Forest were up to. All my osprey photos are blurry, just didn't lock on. Bald eagle was still chillin' next to the nest. No bears or foxes. Some mule deer. Saw this yellow one. Hoped it was the warbler I've been waiting for...it's a goldfinch. #birds

I tried #astrophotography with the #GoPro Hero10 last night. These examples are with minimal edits in post. I'm not mad at the job the GoPro did. I'll try again tonight. Supposed to be less clouds. #milkyway #astro #stars

reading Ten #Birds That Changed The World. Perhaps for the first time ever, I've typed 'extinction’ on my phone and realized a Dodo🦤 emoji pops up!

I'm new to living w/ Canada Geese & Merganser ducks. It's been 3 wks. Was surprised & delighted to find a "daycare" down river the other morning. Geese with teens, geese with young goslings, and Merganser mom with ducklings. About 23 babies & 5 parents hanging out. #birds

Reposting as now I am part of an official #birds list on BlueSky. I am delighted!

This handsome fella was tapping around the tree the back window. I think it's a Hairy Woodpecker (thanks to @inaturalist.bsky.social). So formal this Sunday afternoon! #birds #canon

Merganser ducklings. Aren't they the epitome of adorable fuzziness? Mom's got her wings full with 9 little ones. #birds #nature #ducks

@microsoft.com I'm ready for Windows to have the clipboard memory that Android has. I need to be able to paste more than one nugget of info at a time. Clipboard history for all platforms!

Finally saw a bird that Merlin identified and I heard. I believe this is a pygmy nuthatch! Upside down in a ponderosa pine. #birds

Back to blogging about our adventures in South America. This post is Port Stanley and Gentoo penguins! open.substack.com/pub/roaminga...

Day 4 at this boondocking spot in San Juan Forest in CO. This morning, the chipmunks appeared from, what I assume was torpor, to scamper about in springtime excitement! First animals we've seen in days. #spring #chipmunks

MADISON, Wis. – Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and other publications reported that Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan apparently attempted to protect a defendant from ICE agents trying to detain that defendant. (1/6)

Meanwhile in Pie Town, New Mexico...

I'm back to usual daily life and my reading habit is slipping as usual. Reading #Playground by Richard Powers when I read. #booksky bookshop.org/p/books/play...

Should mention that the Learnign Development Accelerator (caveat: I'm co-director) is running a conf (started yesterday, through 2 May) about putting learning science into practice. Check it out! ldaccelerator.com/eipconference #learnchat

Q7: With skills evolving so quickly, how can organizations keep their skills-based learning strategies relevant?

Q6: What are some ways organizations can help employees understand the skills they already have and those they may need to grow? #LearnChat

Q5: Personalized learning paths based on skills sound great, but what makes them actually work in practice? #LearnChat

Q4: How can L&D teams support the identification and development of transferable skills across departments? #LearnChat

Q3: Have you ever been in a role where your skills mattered more than your formal job description? What was that like? #LearnChat

Q2: How do you personally keep track of your own skills growth over time? #LearnChat

Q1: What does a "skills-based approach" to learning mean to you personally or professionally? #LearnChat

Q0) We like to start the chat with a round of introductions. Please let us know a bit about yourself: who you are, where you are from, what kind of work you do, and maybe share something you have learned this week. Don't forget to add #LearnChat to each post/response so it shows up in the feed.

7:18 PM ET. The record belongs to Senator Cory Booker.

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing. Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

I hope everyone who can watch Sen. Booker is. This is history in the making! He could be our next president. We've been asking for leadership to step up, he is. It's a pivotal moment. The revolution begins today. #CoryBooker

Bravo Senator Booker!

Finished Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Wow! The story was unexpected, and elements hit home. I loved it. I cried. My heart beat 💓 quickened. As someone who tends towards nonfiction, it's been a hot minute since a book has had this effect on me. #booksky

"we visited the Recoleta cemetery. It might be weird--neither Mark nor I want to be put in a cemetery but we seek out the old ones. The ornate beauty, intrigue, and when you can get a tour with someone who knows the history--SCORE!" open.substack.com/pub/roaminga...

This little one joined us for dinner & politely collected her tandoori chicken tax. Beautiful evening in Vallarta with delicious curry at our fav Indian restaurant in Mexico, Rico Indian. #cat #curry

Hanging in CDMX airport for about six hours with this fantastic #mural Grafo HuiXolo. #art #MexicoCity

Sharing a few Canon photos of the dapper #penguins in the Falkands. A dream come true! open.substack.com/pub/roaminga...

Wild horses at the end of the world near Ushuaia, Argentina. What a privilege to see these beauties today!

Doesn't seem like #SouthwestAirlines is active here yet but so much loyalty. Bake the baggage cost into the ticket price. Hide it. Don't play games and ruin your Bags Fly Free motto. Dumb move. I'll be shopping my flights from now on.

Find out how we came to be on a cruise instead of cruising. open.substack.com/pub/roaminga...

My partner & I are having a different kind of cruising this season...Cape Horn the "easy" way. open.substack.com/pub/roaminga...

Dancing on My Own is one of those songs that no matter who sings it at what tempo I adore it. Robyn & David Byrne doing it on #SNL50 Concert was epic. I applauded in my home. consequence.net/2025/02/snl-...

Sometimes you need all the support you can get.

This is the way.

Botany valentine. Another from years past. New one on Monday!

I didn't know Viennetta we're still around until I started I started living in #Mexico part time. I remember Mom buying these when I was a kid. They were elegant ice cream.
