I post about maps, GIS, and environmental chemistry, and now there’s also a lot of energy and Portland posts, some microblogging. Coauthor on a paper on bird population modeling. Reviews everywhere: "She's too direct."

Hello new followers!
I think I've been added to a chemistry-related starter pack? Thanks for following, I will likely post mostly about Portland stuff, maps, GIS, ecology, and some environmental chemistry.
Letting you know, incase that's not what you want to see!

Well I just learned from a very mean immigration officer that I was meant to log in and update my global entry account to reflect that I got a new passport… last year.
Anyway, heads up in case you also didn’t know that!

Someone offered this clock in the buy-nothing group I'm in and I find it truly upsetting.

A month ago one of my tires had a screw in it. Here’s a photo of it, in case anybody would be interested.

Did two urban sketching watercolor and ink line paintings of trees and people at the PSU Farmers Market. Used my Sketchbox urban sketching set and palettes.

In The Sopranos episode “Christopher” a character mentions Giuliani as an example of an Italian-American role model. That wasn’t meant as a joke at the time, but it’s funny as hell now.

An Antarctica story.
Once upon a time in Club 90 South, an inebriated apprentice from Wyoming revealed a family fact. One that, at other times, might be an amusing "degrees of separation" bon mot. However the key to wit and humor is not just timing, but reading the room.
He did not.

This is the thing on here and Twitter back in the day. Some people can’t just say they don’t like something that’s popular. It has to be “problematic” somehow. Just chill out and say you don’t like a TV show.
I love Bluesky because it's often fun but I hate it because I had to read a post where someone called Leslie Knope a neocon shill and to you I say it is a television show and it absolutely does not matter you sound like a maniac

Absolutely hate that the word “vacuum” is spelled like that. Should be “vacume.”

I’ve experience 100x worse as a 14 year old girl playing ice hockey as a goalie.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."
