P.S. Here's the new episode I mentioned with @llmunro.bsky.social! Great tips for academic writing and public writing. Definitely save this one for later to help you improve how you title your writing for articles and books. Thank you, Lisa. A great conversation 🫶 youtube.com/live/WRMo0VF...

Flight delayed. Probably missing my connecting flight because I have to get off the inbound plane, get through immigration and customs, go through security again, and then change terminals. Impossible to do in 45 minutes. Wheeee! Happy Sunday!

Cat at the door screaming at me not because she wants to come inside but because she wants me to go outside for mysterious reasons known only to her.

Formerly stray cat touched her nose to mine today and I'm over here just crying all over the place that this small being trusts me so much. 🥰

I get what this article is trying to do but framing improving cyclist and pedestrian safety as their responsibility (instead of the motorists that hit and kill them) annoys me. That being said, I do wear a light clipped to my shirt when walking at night. www.npr.org/2025/09/25/n...

Shout to my Uber driver this morning who put on the soundtrack to The Last of the Mohicans on my way to the airport. (IMHO the best soundtrack ever. Might have to watch the movie again soon.) ♥️

This is absolutely the answer to travel coffee, but I have a collapsible electric kettle that didn't cost anywhere near as much as the author's. www.theguardian.com/food/2025/se...

My cat snuggled with me this morning while we were laying in bed and she decided she wanted to climb up and lay on my stomach. It's the first time my former street cat has done this (she's very clear that she's not a lap cat) and it just felt like such a huge and trusting moment.

Sometimes my cat stretches her toes like a professional yogi. 🥰

My cat has developed advanced level planning skills and now sneaks into the bedroom undetected in the early evening and then hides so she doesn't get put outside and then can sleep on the bed at night.

Sunday morning bike ride in Mérida, Yucatán. Part of my bike ride was spent practicing left turns through a roundabout. I'm definitely not quite ready to ride a two lane roundabout in rush hour traffic but will say that it was easier than I thought. 🚲

Gave my cat a new cardboard box and she's so thrilled that it's like Christmas morning around here 🥰

No but seriously, how is autocorrect text still this bad?

Just started a new book and I'm 4% of the way in and there's already been a forced adoption subplot. 😬

Charging my bike lights now is a whole thing on my Sunday to do list 🏮

I try not to fight with people on Facebook but could not help arguing with the dude who was like, this city should build more roads to keep up with all of these cars on the road to reduce traffic.

I was traveling all week for work but now home and had coffee on the patio with the cat and got back on my bike this morning. 👍🏼

Traveling with my newest piece of travel gear, a titanium spork.

Whether it's Donald Trump turning Washington DC into a police state or Zohran Mamdani threatening to open up a couple city-owned supermarkets in New York, American cities are under siege as never before.

A delayed flight is just more time to read some more about some obscure theoretical framework for my book, I guess. 🤷🏼‍♀️

People, I have signed up for my first multi day bike ride (Three days)! I know I need some padded bike shorts if I am to survive. Anything else?
