Before choosing bottled water over tap water, remember it takes more than 10X the water that a bottle of water holds to make the plastic bottle and transport the water. And that’s before considering the fuel and GHGs, the 1000 year bottle life, and the RIDICULOUS amount of $ we’re paying for water.

Timeline Cleanse: I found Snoopy at the #SaintJohn West Canadian Tire last night.
Dog sitting in front seat of parked silver van at night facing me in car next to it. It’s a sheepadoodle I think, but its white face and body, black ears and black nose, and red collar, make it look exactly like Snoopy.

Amazon might deliver 'convenience', but it can’t replicate the magic of stepping into a quiet bookstore on a rainy day, where the scent of old pages mingles with fresh coffee and every shelf holds the promise of a new adventure waiting to be discovered.

But the simple reality is this: fossil fuels are not compulsory. Shell is not compulsory. Exxon's CEO is not compulsory. Oil is not compulsory. Alex Epstein is not compulsory. Energy is important: fossil fuels are an obscenely shitty, unreliable, dirty and outdated way of getting energy.

We had heard about the challenges posed by motherhood within academia, but what about the previous stage? @ecfreewoman.bsky.social & I wrote our story for @science.org on how the academic system makes it almost impossible for women to even plan for a family ❤️‍🩹: www.science.org/content/arti...

As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone
The struggle is “balancing their careers not just with motherhood, but with what comes before: relationships and planning for a family,” these postdocs write
