Ah yes, Lisa Frank does geothermal, that's totally legit.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin
Welp, time to cancel that Ring subscription and set up a private camera system so I can watch the delivery folks chuck my packages over my fence. Oy.
"After a decade on dating apps, Iβve decided to enter a different market. This is why Iβm listing myself on Zillow until I find a good matchβwhich, to my understanding, will be about forty-eight hours."
I donβt want to hear anything from an elected official unless itβs a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
This is why, as a single lady who lives in Silicon Valley but isn't in tech, I spend so much time screaming into my screaming pillow. These are the same types who shilled "raw water" and were convinced we all wanted to exist as virtual reality avatars.
I received a noise blocking screaming pillow for Christmas and I have used it several times today already

Good riddance. Let's spend 2026 not actively destroying the world, mkay?
Not on Bluesky because we werenβt allowed to join, but people get mad because we posted updates reminding them that California's volcanoes are NOT erupting.
The dismantling of NCAR should be the trending story on Bluesky, not the fucking Oscars leaving ABC for YouTube.
It is entirely too warm in Virginia today and I object.
Seriously considering asking for one of those noise-blocking screaming pillows for Christmas. Anyone have a favorite brand? (Small business artisinal screaming pillows preferred...)
Well, Congress passed a law about it after the last marathon shutdown, but laws seem to be pretty optional these days so π€·ββοΈ
Wait until the feds get paychecks, we all gotta do our holiday shopping real fast...π

"Incoherent empty men want to sell me the chance to stop reading and writing and thinking, to stop caring for my kids or talking to my parents, to stop choosing what I do or knowing why I do it. Blissful ignorance and total isolation."

Sad news about a colleague of mine at the USGS and a legend in the volcanology field: www.usgs.gov/observatorie...
Trewly.
Absolutely speechless as this press conference basically ignores that NSF is already working, living, loving this building. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdct...
Not seeing nearly enough coverage of this.
itβs even more demoralizing when the history youβre repeating is history you were around for the first time
This is how itβs done!

A pale yellow lab on a red leash looks happily at the woman petting him. He is adorned with red white and blue pompoms and wearing a sign on each side. The visible sign reads "Pro Democracy, Pro Choice, Pro Science, Pro Women, Pro Dogs". Around him, protesterscmill about with similar signs.
A very important doggo from one of today's #NoKings protests. (The other side of his signs says "No tariffs on treats")

Imagine this thread, with added volcanoes, and you've got a decent idea of what my job feels like nowadays. I'm either depressed or angry, unable to plan, constantly on edge. Utterly maddening when all I want to do is help people.
Well, that's the presidential proposed USGS budget for FY26. Itβs not just NSF and NASA that would be taking earth science research hits if it's enacted.
Okay, probably closer to 300. But yowie!
