Here for the local ALX politics. Also probably a good mix of climate action fangirling and sci-fi/fantasy/romance book love. Too excited to worry about typos.

The bounce house at Pohick Bay this weekend has 15min time slots and as such has a line out the wazoo. This is all @justindotnet.bsky.social's fault for not having shorter time windows.

Okay @josephfray.bsky.social RPCA made their activities brochure mailer look like a pretty hip advertising magazine and we almost recycled it instead of reading the activities inside! Can you make it be uglier next time? More obviously a City activities booklet?

How often do we get to talk about Kamchatka outside of the Risk board game?!
How often do magnitude 8+ earthquakes occur? Not very often. While the last one occurred in 2021, on average, Earth experiences about one M8 earthquake per year.
Today’s M8.7 earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula is a powerful example of a megathrust earthquake along a subduction zone.
