Tell me why no one makes *affordable* hiking pants that are made for us tall ladies??? Why is everything a 28 inch inseam? Also, why is everything low rise? I want pants that actually cover my ankles and I don't have to pull them up every 30 seconds while climbing 🥲

Hi there. I promise I'm still around. I went to Japan, and came home right in time to dive into summer classes. Fall semester just started, and I am genuinely thrilled to be back. So excited to dig into this semester 💖

Finally made it out to #cratersofthemoon

Exploring the basalt fields, lava tubes, and caves was both incredibly rewarding and extremely fun. I love being outside and exploring our world. I highly recommend visiting and checking out this incredible nature preserve!

Did you know that when you make your speech for class something you know a lot about, it's really really hard to shorten it to fit the time constraints?

Growing up in the mountain west is interesting because sometimes you accidentally infodump and write an entire paper about wildlands firefighting from memory and it's only 1000+ words later do you realize you lost the prompt you started with and gotta backtrack. But hey, shout-out to our fire crews!

My college has student-use whiteboards everywhere and we have one dedicated to a rotating course of good vibes, absolute chaos, and silly notes. It brings joy to the learning process ✨

One of my big assignments for class is a scientific research article summary. Y'all, I have never been so happy to make my teacher read about hippotamuses 🦛

I love college. I really do. But I am so excited for this 8-week class to end so I have slightly less homework each week 🥲 (that being said, my professor is lovely and I will miss her)

I, with zero background in Chemistry, just passed my first exam with an A. This is a shout-out to the best study group, I am so thankful for y'all and I couldn't have done it without you 🖤

From reddit: a letter from a postdoc who survived the Bolsonaro years. This is helpful framing for how to science in this administration. 🧪

When I made the decision to switch to my current major, it was done with the knowledge that many of the credits I earned beforehand wouldn't apply to my new program. This also created a situation in which I am operating a course load of almost 200% so my prerequisites stack appropriately before fall

Maybe it’s anxiety
Maybe it’s too much coffee
Doubtful it’s Maybelline, but at this point I’ll keep my options open

I especially like to make sure this box is checked when contacting my Congressman (congress.gov) to ask what they are doing to stand against executive overreach that is illegally depriving their constituents of federal funds.

It is within your rights as an American to be annoying to the people that represent you. Actually, I think more people should be annoying. Loudly! And in funny and interesting ways. Be creative✨

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

Grappling with the fact that college textbooks are just SO EXPENSIVE. Some of them are automatically covered by my tuition in ebook form, but it's difficult to reconcile ebook form with low-tech professors.

My goal is to make being "eco-friendly" feel attainable, and give cosplayers ideas on how to be sustainable in a way that feels good (we don't do guilt or green washing around here).

In disentangling myself from Meta, it's crazy to see how often I reach for an app I've now uninstalled. One of my goals for 2025 (I don't do resolutions) is to be more mindful of where I direct my time and energy. Bluesky's Science feed has been a fantastic learning zone as a Biology Major!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

The modern duel: kids riding their bikes toward each other with a foam noodle in one hand to see who can knock off the party hat on top of the other’s helmet first. Chivalry is not dead.

This photo was taken in Nara, Japan in April 2023. It was my first time out of the country, and I was so excited to visit the shrines within the documentaries I watched growing up. I learned to stretch outside my comfort zone and carrying that forward into tackling new projects has been incredible.
