"We can all help. Most wildlife is destroyed by land being cleared for cattle, soy, palm oil, timber and leather. Most of us consume these products every day, with palm oil being found in many foods and toiletries. Choosing only sustainable options helps, as does eating less meat, particularly beef, which has an outsized environmental hoofprint."

Todos podemos ayudar. La mayor parte de la vida silvestre es destruida por la limpieza de la tierra para el ganado, la soja, el aceite de palma, la madera y el cuero. La mayoría de nosotros consumimos estos productos todos los días, y el aceite de palma se encuentra en muchos alimentos y artículos de tocador. Elegir solo opciones sostenibles ayuda, al igual que comer menos carne, particularmente carne de res, que tiene una enorme huella ambiental.

@flsounds YES!!

@flsounds sounds very interesting, but also makes me feel old, like the early 2000s was decades ago or something. 🤣

@flsounds very happy to have you as a follow and I LOVE sharing book recs!

Okay, I'm back. :) A bit over 1K words, so a brief break before diving in again.

Amina Cain’s A HORSE AT NIGHT is meditative and gorgeous and just what I need right now. I want to live in this book.

My wife and I saw this juvenile water moccasin on a morning walk with our dogs earlier this year just before hurricane Ian.

Best Fedi software? Not including forks, just mains.

This is the greatest site I have ever been on. Let's go science!!!

I'm a #choral #singer -- baritone.

I've decided to #sing with #BerkshireChoral again next summer. This will be my third time: a week of Haydn and Dillworth at UW in Seattle in June.

You're expected to know the music when you show up. There's a week of rehearsal and classes, then a performance with an orchestra.

It's a little expensive, but I really enjoy spending a solid week doing intensive music.

Anyone wanting to learn the basics of particle #accelerator #physics and engineering might be interested in this book written by my colleagues at the Cockcroft Institute: "The Science and Technology of Particle Accelerators", by R. Appleby, G. Burt, J. Clarke and H. Owen (Taylor and Francis, 2020). This is available as a free download (open-access) from

@flsounds I was not!

My employer was not hiring me in that capacity, so I was mostly just watching people in my former career try to do things way faster than they can really be done well and trying to decide if I felt left out or grateful to avoid the stress.

It was surreal.
