Everything lined up for my 7-year-old friend to watch #concrete crew in #Seattle. The drama of construction kept her engaged. #transportation

A long time, yes, but now lab-grown #sunflower stars are being introduced by the Samish tribe on Guemes Island. Might mean other areas can grow them. Visited scientists at Friday Harbor labs. Photo shows UW scientist Jason Hodin and some stars set loose Oct. 29th.

Scientists needed a way to identify 1 radial creature from another among #sunflower stars. Imagine clock face on each star. Number the legs based on a DOT that each star has. Moving clockwise from DOT, first LEG from is 1, next is 2, and so on. #echinoderms #radial

Huge thanks to Jason Hodin + UW marine laboratory. Now fascinated with madroporite, my new #echinoderm vocabulary word. He is pointing at lab-grown stars headed to Guemes Island. #samish #indigenous #seastar #restoration @fridayharbor.bsky.social

As a current rehab of TKR, I know some of that complicated ambition. With the new knee, hoping to return to high-impact sports when I wish. Not that I need to ski, but... maybe. Maybe.

Go see #ice caves near #GraniteFalls. The bowl they sit in is #geologic wonder. Full of sedimentary rock tilted later. And wetland nearby. #hiking

Freaking out because a friend says "it's already August. August is the Sunday night of the calendar year."
Is she serious? November is the Sunday night...or Dec. 15th is Sunday night. 📆 Let's torture this metaphor. What is the "sunday night" of your calendar year?

Ahh. The weekend, 🕓 to enjoy the acerbic humor of @thisisindexed.com
Why, yes, I will make weird little things in obsolete ways.
Obsolete is the new pink.

Hurry to see @seattleartmuseum.bsky.social exhibit of Ai Wei Wei.
His transgressive rewriting of what is art, and what is rebellion is fantastic. New audio (with him talking about his own work) is delightful. #art #modern #immigrant #rebellion
