Well before AIM, back when we used lumber for email (elm & pine), there was real-time chat on unix that got my typing speeds super-maxed when my BFF studied abroad. 15 hour time difference to Australia? It was college, what was ‘sleep’?

I don't know how this logistically would work but if I were still teaching K-12 computer skills, I would allow my students to IM during class as long as they were typing on QWERTY. Mavis Beacon + AIM means these fingers are lightning fast, I feel bad zoomers didn't get the same opportunity to learn.

I’m sorry, but if you bring gypsum - or any damn mineral below 3 on the Mohs scale at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

What if every city that declared a #ClimateEmergency actually acted like it’s an emergency? What if every city that committed to #VisionZero actually acted like they meant it, prioritizing human lives in decision-making? What if every city’s budget actually reflect their approved plans & visions?

Giving people from Tuscon a tour of the ABQ bus system later, do I make a joke thanking them for bringing them the moisture or a comment in jest that it does this all the time and they should take frog vacations here?

Just a tiny reminder to Albuquerque that it’s ok to drive a tiny bit slower in heavy rain and flooding conditions than you do the other 364 days a year, especially when passing a pedestrian who doesn’t want to be splashed. Turn around, don’t drown. Fly low and slow.

“In brief”, the Trump EPA decimating critical emissions benchmarks isn’t considered even worthy of a full article in the @abqjournal.bsky.social this morning. We are so cooked (literally).

EPA eliminates rule that limits greenhouse gas emissions
WASHINGTON - The Environmental Protection Agency is repealing rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas, an action the agency said would save industry more than $300 billion in costs and help "unleash" American energy.
The EPA also proposed a separate step to prevent future administrations from regulating climate pollution from power plants. Elimination of the power plant rule, first proposed last year, represents a fundamental shift from efforts by Democratic Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama to address climate change and clean up industrial pollution.

One of the best things I did this summer was take regular walks with my 12-year-old. The conversations meandered with us—silly to serious—but were always a window into her mind. For ex, she told me: "I think, in trying to be more efficient, humans also made life worse." "How so?" I asked... 1/🧵

I love that half of the people I follow say it’s “tits at half mast for Dolly” (ie no bra) and the other half say it’s “push up bras and tits out for Dolly” because it really sums up that she just wanted us to feel comfortable being who we want to present ourselves out in the world.

My heart. I was late to the Dolly Parton fan club but saw a flyer and joined her Imagination Library program when eldest was in the NICU. Knowing that one day, that tiny human struggling to learn to breathe would be a reader gave me so much hope. Books in the mail days are so joyful in our house.
