David Attenborough voice: These garments are normally dormant in the warmest months, staying in the cooler of the closet. However, a habitat that was previously off limits to them has once again become available. 1/2

AGU is documenting the real-world impacts of recent U.S. Administration actions that have resulted in cuts, delays, and disruptions at NSF and other science agencies. Take the AGU Survey today. Responses before 31 August are most immediately helpful. 🔗 spklr.io/63329ErV2T

To mark America's 250th, a time capsule will be buried in Philadelphia on July 4, not to be opened until America's quincentennial. What objects made the cut to be preserved for another 250 years?

#boston has learned a new way to love this last week thanks entirely to the #tartanarmy - learned to love in a way only those giddy with joy can. So for today's @tupelopress.bsky.social 30/30 poem, I couldn't just put it up on my insta stories - I need to share it everywhere. Thank you, Scotland!
Photo of the coning of the Boston Common's George Washington statue with the poem "An Ode to the Tartan Army" posted atop.
The poem:

I fell asleep on the softest June night on chanting
No Scotland, No Party
My brain looned outward, fraying places
back and forth – Boston to Scotland –
leapfrogging who to sing, hug, kiss,
longest, loudest, hardest.


You rolled Boston in a love like a roar.
In a house burning itself,
you made us touch our own faces,
feel the tears there, and know
what kindness feels drawn
across our skin again.

Rush hour makes for a great bike incentive
Google Maps says it would take 27 min to get to Cooper mill by car, without accounting for parking. 25 minutes by bike, which will actually be even less bc I’m on an ebike

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Rom, a Ferengi alien fella with giant ear lobes and butt shaped head, is standing in uniform and looking kind of shaken up and shooketh. Like if he walked in on his parents "wrestling." Closed caption reads, "You have every right to be depressed, Brother."

L'Etoile du Nord, motherfuckers.
A stone casserole dish with a hotdish which reads FUCK ICE written in tater tots over French's onions so you don't have to argue which is better. Fuck ICE! Recipe to follow. 

Fuck ICE Hotdish

2 lbs mild sausage
8 oz mushrooms
1 onion, diced medium
2 packages green beans
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
French's onions
Tater tots

Fry pork, onions, and mushrooms. Meanwhile, steam green beans to bright green, or thaw if using frozen. Add soup, milk, & steamed green beans to pork mixture and stir until mixed.  Pour into a 9x13 pan and top with onions and tater tots with the exhortation to abolish an agency which is terrorizing and killing people at the direction of an administration run by a convicted felon, an administration which is illegally still sitting on the Epstein files. Bake at 350º for 45 min.
