(he/him) My memoir will be titled “Injection Molded Plastic.” I love all things Star Wars, Transformers G1, Lego, and dad jokes. Lots of dad jokes. Dad, geek, Unix/Linux nerd, and avowed cat person.
How about a song for our times:

@alexis4seattle.bsky.social I’ve been following your voting record in the Times and I want to send a big “thank you” for standing against the much of the council when appropriate. Glad I voted for you the first time around and just filled in my dot for you this year. Keep up the good work!

Besides a no brainer levy for public parks, I fully disagree with all of the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social editorial picks. Every. Single. One. I feel like their only concern is “moar cops plz” and not leaning too far left. Reminds me why I stay away from their opinion section.

Let me say this.

I’m so proud of Bernie Sanders and AOC. They signify what real Americans, old and young, really look like. What Americans really want their country to be. And what freedom really SHOULD be.

If I’m proud to be an American, it’s because of them.

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.
Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence

National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.

This won’t go well—we love our parks.

The desk chair I picked up in 2018 is now losing height as I sit in it. Takes about 30 minutes, but it ends up too low and I have to adjust it.
Not bad for a chair I picked up at IKEA for hobbies and occasional personal computer use. Carried me through the Pandemic as my office chair. 😢

I have really taken to watching videos on phylogeny on YouTube. I love learning about this stuff and almost wish I could go back to school and study all the things.

Anyway, going to share this super cool video on hammerhead sharks and how they relate to each other.

The 10 year old in me loves that “regurgitalite” is the real name of fossilized vomit. Regurgitate for science!

As part of my self care this week, I am reading “The Ministry for the Future” by Kim Stanley Robinson.
I totally recommend this read, especially after hearing news from today.
