Climate tech and all it encompasses. Fan of the Chicago Red Stars and the USWNT, getting increasingly into tennis. Walkable cities and public transit are my true loves

13. Europeans shouldn't feel guilty about using electricity for airconditioning (or reversible heatpumps), it already mostly comes from the sun, especially if you pre-cool. This is good news for hot countries as well. Heat is deadly.

Cathy should be evil. We see Adam and Aron as examples of being good, so good that they are unable to function in the world, and Cathy serves as the opposing end of the spectrum. Only Cal, who contains both but embraces choice, comes out with a path forward

Eat, drink, tend your mind, read stories, tell stories, fix problems, be with people, use your body, think for yourself. Orient towards life. Whatever seems like it would support life do that. Compost, plant, sing, barter, hear live music, cook real food.

NYCW really is what you make of it. There were spaces I was in that reflected the AI and data center boom. There were ones that focused on decarbonization. Working in climate is marathon, so the best thing I did was spend some time in rooms filled with people with a similar version for the future

So I still mask like 90 % of the time. And it's funny how often people assume I mask because I either had a really gnarly covid infection or I'm disabled and neither is true. I'm kind of trying to avoid both (with no shade to the disability community)

It really annoys me when people defending car dependency try to minimize the importance of mobility for children. Kids both want and deserve the freedom to move around their communities and they should be able to do so safely.

The wars have brought a renewed focus on energy security and protectionism, which has often been translated into more support for US oil & gas as clean-tech supply chains are dependent on China. Recent energy policy in the US is sometimes in conflict with the goal of lowering prices

Train stations are far too hot, so yay plan to help! The seasonal storage of that heat is interesting as that's not a common technology. The nearby municipal buildings are likely on ConEd's steam system, so this may help reduce costs but with limited decarbonization impacts.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Hey friends in the Midwest and northeast who aren't used to dealing with wildfire smoke - wear a mask, but also even being indoors will not protect you. Keep windows closed and run an air purifier! You can build a Corsi-Rosenthal box pretty cheap: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsi%E...

A friend of mine does these really long walks, and while I still have not done one, it did change my perspective on time and travel. I’ve had plans after work, and instead of staying at work later or at a cafe before it was time to hop on the train, I just walked for an hour to get there

my only contribution is this: whatever your take and however much discourse you want to dive into, stop calling this 'the balogun situation' and making him the face of it. the corruption happened around him, he didn't ask for any of this. center the people doing the corruption, not the player.

Charging stations but at street cart hotspots so they can plug in and run off the grid, instead of using those gas and diesel burning generators.
