Purchased my first Mac in 1990 while in Graduate School. Here she is in 1993 with my PhD thesis in progress on her screen.

What’s the scariest #film you’ve ever seen?

For me, it’s “Don’t Look Up” bc while the #movie is supposed to be satire, it’s terrifyingly plausible from my perspective as a former staffer who now studies science policy.

Today a group of remarkable young people in Montana won a landmark lawsuit when a judge ruled that the state’s failure to consider #ClimateChange when approving fossil fuel projects was unconstitutional. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/14/us/montana-youth-climate-ruling.html?unlocked_article_code=XItIeJpyG1NyXp6_DPR0oa-IWSb7zA4xuefMTXzZ4GMt6tFUvyspi_vmGYU8ULXZ1kL3MzHMLyr1y1tV_-F2SEwvphDbXBhoNLkEs7D5ivPX0QA-QkerTdk9obEhymIZiko_vsG_sr_HrtBichdT4C502ZSQ0hy1IlApVF0gPqcGrSMZn0FSKm2IPvkdVLN1T_Io8xQMav3WxNodEmN9_Lw6MLdrTOVOEXOGMLPzpM3eOpGDXJVr9Cizv8GzChPjzI6OG6sJv9AgBwhRjwHUQDRKKNi_3wP5oAYU2EjlzCiiG5v7Jp5PQslPnPUPGaM9mRkXB-2156bygVQzgjupjmxa&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

I absolutely adore the whimsical #art of 3D sidewalk chalk artist David Zinn. https://zinnart.com

Zinn creates delightful “works of ephemeral pareidolic anamorphosis” inspired by weeds, sewer covers, traffic cones & nearly everything he encounters around his Ann Arbor community.

Street Art by David Zinn

Online store and information hub for the street art of ephemeral sidewalk chalk artist David Zinn, known for his cheerful 3D (three-dimensional) creatures including the stalk-eyed monster Sluggo, flying pig Philomena, and adventurous mouse Nadine. (Also a lot of dragons, squirrels, and other underfoot friends.)
