Very exciting bumper sticker find this morning

Trying to get back into cycling regularly so I bought a bike that is actually my size and not a hand-me-down earlier this week. Shout-out to bike co-ops, that place felt like it was straight out of a solarpunk novel.

I haven't been in the carbon accounting space in a good while but the conversation seems to come down to the fact that calculations conveniently leave out scope 3 emissions - similar to how oil companies don't count the end use of gas in their emissions accounting.

I'm glad the American Bar Association released a statement I wonder what American Society for Civil Engineers -

I went to the tidepools and understand the Biologist from Annihilation by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social a little better

iNat says this is a Pacific Chorus Frog. I saw him while I was laying in the grass. I think this is the first amphibian I've recorded.

I guess Bluesky is now a repository for nature photos. I can jive with that branding.

California blue-eyed grass
Some sort of lupine

In other news I'm taking a less painful California Naturalist course and I took a cool picture of a sedgesitter on a woolyleaf ceanothus (thanks iNat for ID help)

Came back and saw 70 notifications on my last post - I forgot that Bluesky is way less of an algorithmic void than Twitter!

Hi, yes, I'm Jew-ish, but haven't observed much and now deciding how much I want to! I probably shouldn't have brushed off my institution's ironic disregard for Yom Kippur.

Did I find it?

You're probably wondering why my @ is "hydrowl." The hydro part is obvious by now, but I also really like owls. I got so into Guardians of Ga'Hoole when I was 11 that my mom still calls me "owlex." I have a tattoo that looks vaguely like owlbert from the owl house. I have lots of owl things.

This is my cat Jasper, I can't believe I'm leaving him with my parents to go back up to school. He lived with me for a year, but my personal life got chaotic and I had to move into a place that already has 2 cats and he's a bully :(
