I got mine today - the staff there were warm and welcoming!

Yesterday I deep cleaned half our tiny NYC kitchen, then invited three second-graders to frost a cake I made (from scratch)… probably the wrong order? SABBATICAL!!!!!!!* *read with jazz hands, à la The Aristocrats! punchline

Every time you check out a library book instead of ordering from Amazon, ask a friend instead of an LLM, cook a meal instead of ordering from an app, or go for a walk instead of scrolling social media, you interrupt the cash flows of insane CEOs. Do it! Ruin their day!

I ended up walking over 10 miles around Amsterdam, but a lot of that was wandering around Schiphol airport trying to find the lockers I had used to stash my luggage. I was so lost I ended up going through passport control three times! 😂

Welp, this was the best total solar eclipse I saw from the Iceland Sea, but it was still very fun to talk to several hundred people about space while on a cruise ship!

I’m not sure which is more unbelievable, that I was somehow okay with travel uncertainty for almost six weeks of preparation or that I’M GOING TO CRUISE AROUND ICELAND TO SEE THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE!!!! 🇮🇸 🚢 ☀️

Normally I take the approach “if you don’t have anything nice to say, stay off of social media” but this warrants “…come sit by me”. I’m sure many talented people worked very hard on this but…

Yyyyyyyoink is the sound of me stealing that idea for next year! Meet Rainbow Fish, the art project one of my kids did contribute to. No matter how big you think it is - nope, it’s bigger.

I would secretly love to teach math & physics in elementary school if I thought my classroom management skills (and social-emotional development) were up for the challenge… they are such little sponges!

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.
