Elizabeth Smith @eeeeelizzzzz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Drove most of the way to work and panicked that I didn’t have my keys so I was afraid to turn the car off. Drove all the way back home. I had the keys the whole time. I hate push to start for this reason. So now I’m eating my frustration at Waffle House. 030

Elizabeth Smith @eeeeelizzzzz.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Connecting with someone’s “weird weather kid” is one of my favorite parts of being a scientist. It’s really rewarding to share knowledge with young people so excited about science. Shamelessly it’s also pretty cool to be a rockstar in someone’s eyes. Such a sweet story. 091

Elizabeth Smith @eeeeelizzzzz.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Everyone. I am sitting outside reading a paper draft that I printed and no lie just used my fingers to try to zoom in on the margins. This seems bad. 060
Elizabeth Smith @eeeeelizzzzz.bsky.social · 06/07/2026POWER IS BACK! Took a short walk around the block earlier to see what happened in the neighborhood. Lots of damage. Grateful to all the helpers. It’s already looking much better here! 050
Elizabeth Smith @eeeeelizzzzz.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Still no power here, but we got all the clean up that we can finished. Garage door is caved in, so we’re stuck here for now. The skylight upstairs was ripped off and gutters damaged. In the backyard several large limbs/tree sections came down. We didn’t get off easy, but there is worse out there. 090
Elizabeth Smith @eeeeelizzzzz.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Well we lost a skylight and it failed in the house and the garage door is folded in. Happy 4th of July! 200

Elizabeth Smith @eeeeelizzzzz.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Well I learned what a wheel bug is this evening. This little bug was just chilling. Thought it was a praying mantis. I’m glad they are here, but also looking at them gives me the heebie jeebies 040
Elizabeth Smith @eeeeelizzzzz.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Read one post about someone saying good bye to their beloved pet and the algorithm is now continually serving me very sad posts about people spending their last day with their pet. ☹️ 010

Elizabeth Smith @eeeeelizzzzz.bsky.social · 11/04/2026As a scientist I can accept that there is likely a very important reason for the stability collar and front porch to be such a complicated process. Arlene is not a scientist and not impressed. 0100
Elizabeth Smith @eeeeelizzzzz.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Can you imagine entering the atmosphere at M33, burning through the atmosphere, being yanked-dropped-yanked by a series of parachutes THEN while you’re waiting to “deplane” boats circle your floating capsule rocking it with their wakes. 🤢 080
