Pals, nearly everytime that I'm at the airport I see my friend's ex husband, I've known her since grade 8 and I even went to their wedding. He works here, they just announced his name and that it's his birthday. I can't believe that somehow I'm still bumping into him and his life!

"If that's what you're prepared to do, that's in effect, an act of beyond criminalization. It's an act of violence upon our people."

I avoid walking under trees or power lines where I see guano on the ground. I yell "no pooping" at flocks overhead. Working at sea - let's just say I have taken a few disgusting hits....

I should be in the classroom (like, literally, 8:35AM class) right now. Then at the Welcome Fair in the Quad. Instead, locked out. I'm mad, hurt, disappointed, betrayed. But, I am always someone who looks on the bright side of everything. So, here is the good: 1/2 #KeepDalStrong

There are a lot of stories out there this week on the discovery of the cause of the sea star die off. This is, in my opinion, the best. Fantastic reporting, great visuals, behind the scenes science writing at its best. Give it a read.
Sea stars—26 species—have been dying by the billions from Mexico to Alaska, their arms tearing off, their bodies dissolving, w/huge consequences for the sea.
Experts finally figured out why— and gave @biographic.bsky.social exclusive access.
