Trying to get back into cycling regularly so I bought a bike that is actually my size and not a hand-me-down earlier this week. Shout-out to bike co-ops, that place felt like it was straight out of a solarpunk novel.

I haven't been in the carbon accounting space in a good while but the conversation seems to come down to the fact that calculations conveniently leave out scope 3 emissions - similar to how oil companies don't count the end use of gas in their emissions accounting.

I'm glad the American Bar Association released a statement I wonder what American Society for Civil Engineers -

Two news released from american society of civil engineers applauding Lee Zeldin and Sean Duffy's appointments to the EPA and DOT. Notably, nothing on the firing of thousands of federal workers or the attack on the bipartisan infrastructure bill because they're cowards.

I went to the tidepools and understand the Biologist from Annihilation by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social a little better

iNat says this is a Pacific Chorus Frog. I saw him while I was laying in the grass. I think this is the first amphibian I've recorded.

I guess Bluesky is now a repository for nature photos. I can jive with that branding. California blue-eyed grass Some sort of lupine

In other news I'm taking a less painful California Naturalist course and I took a cool picture of a sedgesitter on a woolyleaf ceanothus (thanks iNat for ID help)

Came back and saw 70 notifications on my last post - I forgot that Bluesky is way less of an algorithmic void than Twitter! Hi, yes, I'm Jew-ish, but haven't observed much and now deciding how much I want to! I probably shouldn't have brushed off my institution's ironic disregard for Yom Kippur.

You're probably wondering why my @ is "hydrowl." The hydro part is obvious by now, but I also really like owls. I got so into Guardians of Ga'Hoole when I was 11 that my mom still calls me "owlex." I have a tattoo that looks vaguely like owlbert from the owl house. I have lots of owl things.

This is my cat Jasper, I can't believe I'm leaving him with my parents to go back up to school. He lived with me for a year, but my personal life got chaotic and I had to move into a place that already has 2 cats and he's a bully :(
