A human(?) trying to make sense of life. Always interested in learning new things. I make good coffee and bad puns.

It’s amazing to think how much digitization has made it less likely content will last beyond a generation. Writing on stone tablets last hundreds to thousands of years. An Atari cartridge or Betamax tape is almost impossible to consume today if you aren’t a collector of classic electronics.

I used to think my kids and grandkids would read my blog posts and tweets. Now I doubt Medium or Twitter will still be around in ten years.

"I don't want science to be political" is also saying "I don't want science to inform public policy" and perhaps some people do feel that way, but I don't want those people near science or public policy.

@ricardoharvin I think a strategy of guilt tripping people who aren't politically engaged is a strategy that is doomed to failure.

A much better strategy is to learn why people are disengaged, put forward solutions to the things that cause them to become disengaged and encourage engagement.

Yes, everything is #politics, everything is #political. Trying to avoid politics does not make you safe.

Being #politically aware, well-informed, and consistently active are our only hope for our individual and collective safety.

Choosing to disengage is cowardly surrender, and does exactly what the oppressors want, making you another one of their tools.

It's ok to rest and recharge, it's not ok to put the full burden on others; that's complicity.

Dating someone that actually likes you is wild. Like, what do you mean this person actually wants me around? And tries to get to know me? And asks what my blood type is? Or if I have both kidneys? Or if I wanna fly out & meet them alone in an abandoned hospital? It's nice to feel appreciated.

The Pleiades and Jupiter are bright on the Subaru Telescope webcam on Mauna Kea Hawaii right now.
