And yes, I could’ve saved a step by taking a pic with the iPad itself but I’m a millennial and allergic to iPad photography, that shit is for zooms only

Millennial Parenthood is getting couch locked while the baby naps on you, picking up your journal to see what to-do list items can get done by phone or iPad from your seat, realizing you forgot a pen, taking a picture of the to-do list with your phone, and airdropping annotating it with your iPad

Map snapshot depicting the predicted relative anomalousness of surface temperatures from the ECMWF ensemble over the Western U.S. in about a week from now. A a huge region of bright orange and red colors (depicting extremely high warm temperature anomalies) is centered right in the middle of the map, and covers essentially the entire region.

Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

Democracy dies in news deserts, imo

Thank you for the ping! Next time I see you in person let’s talk

I do appreciate that he told us the guy getting arrested in unmarked cars out front wasn’t ICE (it was BCSO) but gosh I am so tired of us allowing cars to be unsafe with lackluster solutions because heaven forbid we let the traffic get a tiny bit worse in a city that barely has traffic for its size

The meeting with Mayor Keller was about the Lead and Coal safety study and it was just remarkably disappointing. A study I remember responding to when I was having contractions with my now 14 month old with only 200 respondents, appeasing make cars go fast over human safety…it was all messy

Mayor Tim Keller

Me: I saw Cllr. Rogers today at a meeting!
2yo: I WATCHED MR. ROGERS TODAY AT THE BIG KIDS MEETING
Me: I saw the mayor at another meeting!
2yo: THE REAL HUMAN MAYOR?? I saw the pretend mayor!!

Didn’t get a pic of @nicholerogersd6.bsky.social but D6 was great. @mayorkeller.bsky.social…we’ll talk

Gosh I hope not because I’m not vapor and it felt close-ish

Out: fireworks or gunshots?
In: fireworks or gunshots or bomb?

Bus on campus

Explanation of the stripes inside the bus.

This bus is electric!

Stripes made in Reading.

The new Reading 'warming stripes' double-decker electric bus came to campus today.

The bus is painted in the local warming stripes to start climate conversations throughout the town.

Woooooo library news, yay Janet!!!

*stand sorry I’m distracted

Aww thank you!!! I wish I could’ve used my full two minutes to talk about ranked choice but I can’t let a misinformation stand for

Honestly!! So tiny and yet so clutch!

Your earbuds are disgusting — here's the right way to clean them Think your earbuds are clean? Think again

Tom’s guide said to do this and I’m probably due for all of it tbh www.tomsguide.com/audio/your-e...

It does mean I won’t be using my headphones until I figure out how to sanitize that thingie but honestly, what a way to turn around my luck today 🍀

Lost the little ear squishy thing on my headphones on the way to my class earlier somewhere between home, bus stop, bus, and class and it turns out, the same driver picked me up to go to my next destination and there it was! Such kindness from the Great Material Continuum in the least Ferengi way

Pretty sure spotting a heritage Boston and Maine F40PH-3C on the MBTA would give me a high I could ride for a week. They look so slick

Opened this in front of my 2yo and now this is what he thinks Miles O’Brien looks like ffs

Always a good therapy session when you have to include a significant amount of backstory about zoning ordinances and how you derive your urbanist thinking as necessary lore

Good morning! ☀️ could’ve used more sleep, my older kiddo woke up early and I am in need of a nap

“Do you know the muffin man?”

“am I being detained? Am I free to go? I would like to remain silent until my lawyer is present.”

I genuinely love the design of WMATA stations

This- the people involved in this work do not want to tell their story directly and I can imagine really don’t want anyone else to so they can keep doing the work without compromising the safety of themselves or the people that they’re helping. Save it for when they agree that the danger passed.

Albuquerque’s own CSI Aviation organized yet another torture flight.

No cheating your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist

Darn 😢 we have a conservative council right now too (despite having a Dem majority)- I empathize!

I know that in some cities, they can have an act of council to remove someone from boards like this even if they have an appointment for longer
