I’m a nerd in DC, but I’m not a DC nerd. Physicist by training, now helping other scientists do science-related things from engagement and comms to policy and more.

It’s a great day to have lunch outside.
On a sunlit table, there is a bowl of fresh cut fruit, stracciatella with bread, and a mocha with a pretty foam pattern.

🪶 I’m very glad this buddy seems to be hanging around my neighborhood.

Merry Friendsgivingmas everyone!

Today’s squirrel! #sqrlpix

Oh, random Phoenix sports bar. This is really what you think a focaccia is?
A “focaccia” ordered at a sports bar, which is a thin flatbread used as a wrap for the fillings. Fries and onion rings are in the side.

🪶 Birders of Bluesky - I’m new to this - Gilded Flicker or Northern Flicker? Spotted at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ in November. I’m leaning Gilded (Merlin sound ID said both, but was more often Gilded when the audio was clearer.)
A beige/brown bird with black spots, a black patch on his chest and red streaks down from his beak. He has a slightly golden cap. He’s standing in a desert landscape.

There are some times I miss Twitter. It’d be nice to tag AfroHerper to share my excitement about this lizard. (I also do not know what kind it is). Seen at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix/Scottsdale.
A lizard of some variety is hiding among the reed-like parts at the base of a desert plant.

Mood.
A black dog is under a gray blanket that covers most of her including her eyes. She is yawning and you can see her pink tongue.

Trying hard not to feel called out by @effinbirds.com. “Not everyone can be a genius I guess.”

Somehow my dog knows this lesson much better than I do.

I don't know how to feel about you using a phrase coined from a 4chan fitness board.
A screenshot of text from Know Your Meme for WAGMI/NGMI: "About WAGMI / NGMI, also known as We're All Gonna Make It or Not Gonna Make It, is a catchphrase from 4chan's fitness board /fit/ that was popularized by the icon and bodybuilder Zyzz. Since its inception, it's been used in 4chan and adjacent communities to show comradery and a willingness to keep going in life. Around 2020, WAGMI began to see use inside crypto and meme stock communities as a way to show unification, with the opposite phrase, NGMI, finding use when dips occur."

Today was the first day in quite some time with literally nothing on my calendar. I could use more of these.
