The USPS is being threatened with massive layoffs and privatization. I made these postcards which—when mailed—will be seen by mail handlers, scanners, carriers and the recipient. I just printed 3,000 more. Order cheaply from halfletterpress.com or message me your email for the PDF to print them.

I am slowly rolling out my new social media approach. Reminder that I am not a "personality" but a scientist who wants to give back to the community.
My writing is going to be on Patreon while I figure some things out.

If you are curious about the imagery of flying a nations flag upside down it is common practice in Hawaii and understood to mean a nation in distress.
The inverted Hawaiian flag has come to symbolize a nation in distress and is the main symbol of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.

I'm not around online but here is what I have to say about the state of the US:
- I am a DAR member and my family (2 gens!) fought for the founding of this country
- the constitution isn't perfect but it is our messy experiment in democracy and I believe in it.

Earthquakes in Santorini are in the news. I am going to be answering questions on my Discord but remember to pay attention to the local agency in charge.
There is only so much information that can be given and sometimes it feels like there is a hole. But that is just uncertainty

On a similar and more... interesting note? Did you know that there is a type of "stone" that forms in the cremations of Buddhist?
I went down a curiosity hole for a while on this one. They are called Śarīra and are said to be a pearl of crystal like bead found in the ashes of spiritual masters.

Every year I make my own Wheel of the Year based on a worksheet I developed.
I have taught this as a workshop previously but this year I just updated the files linked on my "resource" page. You can also find a link to the podcast episode covering it.
