olympics on the mind
February 12, 2026 at 1:41 AM
When I would rollerblade to work in college, I'd imagine figure skating routines to Sail by AWOLNATION. 15 yrs later, someone just used the song in the olympics!! I feel seen but ngl I think the flow of my imaginary routine was better.

Y'all, I've always been sooo intimidated by orchids but your girl did it! We got year 2 blooms people!!!!!

Ugh I'm so proud of me

I grew up in MN and Chicago. College in Vermont. Learned to figure skate before I could walk. This ice nightmare is truly the worst/least manageable winter situation I've experienced. And I have a pick axe.

I think imma skip #rva January next yr. 2025, no water. 2026, ice hell. 2027, uninterested.

RIP Bob. I'm so bummed! It's hard to describe the impact he and the rest of the dead have had on the trajectory of my life. Its why I named my best pal after one of my favorite Weir written dead songs: Sugar Magnolia. Thank you for the music, the good times, the community & the sunshine daydreams.

We don't talk enough about how @bowlerobowl.bsky.social has ruined bowling in RVA. I miss Bowl America in the east end every single day.

For Christmas, I asked for a greenhouse/plant nursery outing and a wawa coffee. Truly the gift that keeps giving. I love my new friends so much.

Also important: am I about to get a successful year 2 orchid bloom on my first try?!?!

Chemical recycling is touted as a miracle solution to the plastic waste crisis. In July, intern Carol Li wrote that it’s not actually recycling – it’s a rebranded version of incineration, and it poses serious risks to our health and environment. frontiergroup.org/articles/che...
Chemical recycling is a bad idea. And it's failing.
So-called "chemical recycling" is pitched as a revolutionary solution to the plastics crisis. So far, it's largely failed to live up to its promises.

#survivor49 finale thoughts:
1. Awesome winner, total warrior
2. Kristina's question was super valid. Sophi mouthed the names. It shows different strengths and Savannahs other ones made up for it and that's cool. Know your jury!!
3. I loved Rizo and hate that enthusiasm and joy seen as annoying.

Is it a #valeg session if someone doesn't try to repeal Virginia's bipartisan ban on foam cups and take out containers though?? Excited to defend this popular, impactful law for the 5th year in a row! #FoamFreeVA #WildlifeOverWaste

Wow, the chemicals in this product only cause cancer and birth defects in California!

For real though, I'm very grateful for CA's impact on the supply chain and consumer protection.

Did you know 10 trillion preproduction plastic pellets enter the ocean every year? Simply put: this is industry litter that we pay to facilitate whenever we buy anything with plastic.

Plastics are problematic at every stage of life-- long before consumers ever touch them.
