I feel like the last two years we’ve been in a Taylor Swift era.
A Beyoncé era.
An era defined by rampant consumerism and the relentless pursuit of convenience.
Whoops. Caught you off guard there, didn’t I? I get DEEP in my latest FREE Substack: buff.ly/3RMLFrx

Just found this photo on my computer again after many years. From an armrest on a chair near the Gulf of California at Camp Archelon, Bahia de Los Angeles, BC, Mexico, circa 2004. 🧪🌎🦑 I've always found it comforting and always wanted it to be how everyone felt about young scientists and their work.

As both a professional archaeologist of 10 years and a political activist, this is fucking dumb, but if this is the thing you're mad about just know that if the A303 judicial review fails this year we're going to dig a 2 mile long tunnel through the site and get it stripped of World Heritage status.

Time for a warm fuzzy feel good this one is about a #Baskingshark encounter:
Westport Massachusetts couple sees a half dozen basking #sharks around their 18 foot boat.
"I hope we're able to see more of them. I mean, it was it was a wonderful encounter," Perry Long said.

We need to minimize/end fossil fuel use! AND, for climate we need to also peak/reduce the human land footprint for agriculture & forestry to keep carbon on the land. So watch out for “bio based” climate solutions that reduce fossil fuel use but increase land use, & assess tradeoffs very carefully.
