WE DID IT 😭🚲💕🔥

Go @elenah.bsky.social! Perfect person to kick this off

Our printer’s broken so I’m hand-writing my comments over coffee, see you all there, it’s going to be A Lot, let’s go!

It’s Bike to Work Day! Our building’s not ready but @moxnrox.bsky.social and I rode there anyway

Truly love how much of my (non-ALX) feed is rage-posting about the absence of the film The Core from this study. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

If I had an office building I would not be able to take this perfect floof for midday walkies

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

Number 21, let’s gooooo

Had an absolute blast at the Ride for Braddock this morning! A lovely way to start a Sunday. And if you haven’t written Council yet, now’s the time.

More weddings should involve doggo cocktail napkins

First peony bloom!

The library book sale broke records this week, and now a neighbor is building a competing LFL on our tiny street. Alexandrians Be Reading!

My story on the NSB terminations:

Breaking: Trump has fired the membership of the National Science Board, which is oversees NSF. I have confirmed separately with multiple now-former members of NSB.

It is relentless.

Episode 45 of Kīlauea’s ongoing eruption

Happy Earth Day! A lot of bad things are happening but I love the Earth.

First-ever woman-led Alexandria city government in 276 years ❤️

I’m on a boat

I brake for sea creatures

Who needs the Presidents’ Race when you can have a Salmon Run (Sockeye won)

Starting Seattle out right by teaching the niblings about Chihuly

Oh, wow. So many other worlds visible in the background of the Artemis II view from eclipse, peeking out of the haze of the solar corona. Thanks @tunctezel.bsky.social for labeling!

oh my god oh my god oh my god www.nasa.gov/image-detail... www.nasa.gov/image-detail... www.nasa.gov/image-detail...

Nutella flying around the moon is resonating with my office because one way we’ve been trying to (lol) keep morale up is a series of (non-monetary, purely for fun) competitive brackets. Two weeks ago the bracket was Spreads. Nutella won, confirming that we are as smart/cool as astronauts I guess

@mineraltoplanet.bsky.social THE NUTELLA

DCA Report: the gates are absolutely slammed, but South pre-check had zero line and jolly staff. Good luck out there, spring breakers!

Hey NE GSA, I’m here on my first NSF-related trip in over a year! Come say hi and tell me what you’ve been working on!

I want to know everything about the women of 1930’s Feminine Flying Fleet

This appears to be video from a meteor that tens of thousands of people heard in Northeast Ohio and Pennsylvania (DrJimLloyd/X) www.cleveland19.com/2026/03/17/m...

Sound on, if you don’t mind some justifiably coarse exclamations 😂

It’s truly amazing how much life-saving science we’ve learned since this horrific event.

Love (for me) that I already have tickets to my first Mariners game, this is happening

Turn the sound on! 🔊 The USGS V1 camera at Kilauea now has *audio* and tephra is falling on it right now - www.youtube.com/live/tk0tfYD...

@oconnell.bsky.social This whole thread. He gets it!

I will miss Gogol Bordello with @josephfray.bsky.social for this so I expect some great science.

US GEO folks: A few NSF POs are traveling again (!!) & several are hitting the regional GSAs. @drrocks1982.bsky.social + @llautz.bsky.social are headed to the Triple-Joint meeting in Memphis, I'll be in Hartford for the Northeastern. We are hype to see the community! Reach out if you'll be there!

Thanks @scifri.bsky.social for having me on to talk about federal research budgets. TLDL: Congress voted to reject the president's big science cuts, but the White House is slow to release those approved funds. 🧪 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Motion to have the pump station be one of the reward items you can build in your waterfront park. (This is a genuinely great game.)

1:20am and I’m closing the Traffic & Parking Board zoom is not a thing I ever expected to type

@mroduf.bsky.social high five!!

@josephfray.bsky.social DIFFUSE BENEFITS you kick ass

@wdncnu.bsky.social Tim! You’re amazing.

That blue bull’s eye is… directly on top of my mom’s house

What a week / Lemon it’s Wednesday GIF forever

A year ago today, 168 of my NSF colleagues were fired suddenly & illegally. Half got their jobs back after an intense legal fight, but none of this is over for our small/mighty agency. Even while there are so many things happening everywhere all at once & it’s exhausting, I’m glad to keep pushing.

Someone captured my colleagues an I servicing the cameras during Kīlauea’s episode 42. We stopped to discuss what we were seeing, but because I talk with my hands it looks like I’m fixing to push someone in… Credit: Volcano Hideaways

Another Tuesday, another election in ALX. Lots of knitting being accomplished at my polling place, get out there!

I don’t think there’s anyone left who hasn’t seen this thread but in case you’d like to relive the joy of last night’s Benito performance, I give you my friend’s brilliant study. Honored to have been present for the live (screaming) version. tbsky.app/profile/beck...

Singing about Puerto Rican independence while Pedro Pascal dances in a casita and the field is covered in native plants and also there’s a wedding is exactly the vibe I needed tonight
