I want to believe this is just a tidal pool...But some other part of me believes we’re past that point. That this report is worthless, that no one will ever read it, that these will be the last words I ever write. That somewhere far remote someone or something else is seeing me. - SR book

Eight years ago I made a joke: I want to see this glacier before it’s gone. Well…
I had a hard time to locate certain edges / rocks etc. to match the photos until I realized that I can’t find those familiar spots because …they’re already gone.

Is it truly social media anymore? Or is it more like selling media? It invades everything.
It's obvious to wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet don't care for nature, climate, the earth or the universe.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
