I just completed the Air Miners Boot Up program. This is a "study-group" style thing where you are assigned to a group and learn about atmospheric carbon dioxide removal. Twice a week you are assigned a reading/viewing/listing and have a Zoom call with the 11 other people on your team.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through The Once and Future Witches by Alix Harrow and it's awesome. If you like witches and also some less witchy people standing up for themselves, you would probably also enjoy it.

Today's backsquats were 3x5@127kg. I stopped spamming the other site with every workout years ago, but this one makes me especially happy because it's the heaviest working weight since January of 2014.

I saw somebody out jogging this morning with color-coordinated green hair and green jacket. I was reminded of the time my wife and @zoecello.bsky.social formed a mutual admiration society in an elevator ride over their own matching hair and outfit colors.

JoCoCruise is pretty great.

We need to do this. Except mostly for Himalayan Blackberries, and only a little for English Ivy.
We have rented a herd of goats to deal with our English ivy problem.

Millionaire Syndrome: A thread.

I first encountered it when I was a teen, around '90. My grandfather somehow set me up with the scion of an old-money family with lots of land. The local town was literally named after them.

Blue Sky is chock full of people who have been performers on JoCoCruise. I wonder if @scalzi.com @paulandstorm.bsky.social and @jonathancoulton.bsky.social have been spending all their invites making that happen. Did nobody think to invite Wil?
