These graphs show the total collapse of snowpack numbers for California over the past few weeks (dark blue line), along with the average snowpack (light blue area), for the state, and northern/central/southern California.
California snowpack is now at only 27% of normal, as heat waves have turned the little #snow California received to #water or vapor.

What is Electronic Music?: Pioneering Electronic Musician Daphne Oram Explains (1969)

"Don’t tell me or it won’t happen."

I just turned one of those bold, round numbers that invites metaphysical thoughts about Time. Waking up at forty, I find myself in a body that feels healthy. From here, the past doesn’t look effortless: waking at six, workouts, repetitions, injuries, recoveries. But it does feel contingent. Perhaps a future version of me wished it so. Maybe a wish is not something that happens in the future, but something that selects a past.

Not an injection of energy, but a constraint on what histories are allowed, a pressure that filters the trajectories that can lead to this moment. There has to be a sequence of events that leads to the arrangement of me now. Perhaps this is the only history that survives the constraint of a wish I would one day impose: that I be well.

If so, thanks.
