I'm so ready for my victory lap where I'm happy and healthy and hiking up a mountain and can see my beloved Blue Ridge from the top.

I was engaged to a frat brother. They would select an AFAB person, intoxicate them and call them the "Pike Bike". Reports would be made to the police and University, but the moment an authority figure walked in, they would smile and speak like eloquent gentlemen and make sure they mentioned

A water line broke. We have no water until who knows. This is not good.

Oof, between my health and global warming, the odds of achieving my goal of standing on a glacier are rapidly receding.

I wonder if I could modify this to be a tattoo? The rivers, fault traces and abbreviations would be too much detail, but it's the start of an idea. U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 2136

How awesome it is to see it all laid out like this. Each star is a place where The Great Unconformity is visible - maybe not visible in a tidy textbook way, but also not subsurface. Digital elevation model of the Great Unconformity (US only) in shaded relief. (Modified from Marshak et al., 2017)

I walked out of my office and about ten feet down the hall before realizing I didn't have my cane. This seems like a really good sign.

I really want to get a tattoo displaying Blue Ridge geology. Something artistic and scientifically accurate showing the anticlinorium. No idea has felt right yet. Blue Ridge geology is home, undergrad, and graduate.

Money. Donate money, not goods. So many people like donating something concrete, like a can of food. But food banks can make that dollar go much, much further than you can. Berkeley Food Network: www.berkeleyfoodnetwork.org/get-involved... Alameda County Food Bank: www.accfb.org/give/

New favorite way to fight nausea is apple soup. Warm up applesauce and add a tiny pinch of allspice and tiny pinch of ginger.

I remember when geology was fun adventures and not me alone in a cold room cursing out Illustrator.

Oh, I am very not used to being a nervous "young" student! This is new and weird.

I want someone to show up with focaccia and black cadillac cookies from my favorite bakery, sliced honey crisp apples, and a thermos of tea and take me into the mountains for the best picnic.

First first date in MANY years (well, second but I didn't know the other was a date until after!). Legitimately googled "What do people talk about on dates?" Can I just talk about rocks and cartoons?

Okay, so this kinda slaps.

I feel optimistic about the midterm elections, just over five weeks away. But my stomach aches when I think of what’s at stake. Call me nauseously optimistic. How do you feel? robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-t…
