I enjoy gardening. I’d like to remove the lawn.

First mow of the year ✅

What business word do you overuse at your job? Or a prior job? Mine is ‘alignment.’

As a former member of an NSF-funded lab, this infuriates me. It’s already very competitive and labs struggle, this will set the US behind in research.

Happy Birthday, grandma! How are your family celebrating? My suggestion: bring her balloons.

The worst part of this in our house is the dishwasher door. If it’s open, one of us is bound to smash our ankles into its sharp corners.

There is a small farm btw the Irwin and New Stanton exits on the turnpike who had a sign up for years, even during Biden’s term. Today it was gone. Same with another sign I regularly saw. Both were there two weeks ago.

Utah team added a few seasons ago.

I do not care that your relative is the bartender, your French bulldog is obnoxious. No disrespect to French bulldogs. But this one….

Why are ambulance rides so expensive for the patient but they don’t pay First Responders/paramedics enough?

Oh. Wait. Health insurance.

OMG

Dear retired neighbors, you had all day to use your noisy riding mower. Why do you wait until 4 PM to do this when I’m about to hop on a critical meeting?

I am considering moving to Proton. I haven’t seen their UI in years, so I’d have to do some research.

Gmail’s spam filters seem to be degrading. Legit emails are marked as spam but every offer for payment relief or cloud storage lands in my inbox.

I have Virginia bluebells I transplanted from my parents’ house but they are taking their sweet time with blooming.

Wild geranium, golden alexanders, Jacob’s Ladder, and of course, oak trees.

I’ve only recently learned that they’re not great for bees but there is no reason to remove them. I love the sunny color! But I need more early-blooming spring flowers.

Better for groundhogs than bees, for sure. There isn’t enough nutritional value in dandelions for larval bees.

That is a moniker of honor!

Sharing a little of my first day in Pittsburgh! I love urban architecture. The creative design, willpower, collaboration, and culture needed to make it and revitalize it!

Good idea!

As a kid, I regularly picked up snapping turtles that wandered from the pond into the grass. You need to watch out for the long neck, short temper, and more so, the claws.

Most Of The Microplastics In Urban Air Come From Tires Particles produced from brake and tire wear now represent the majority of emissions from road transport. As the EU cracks down on them, scientists urge others to follow.

Wear particles from tyres and brakes are far more prevalent and more damaging than you might think. My latest article for @forbes.com digs into some recent research on the impact of non-exhaust emissions 🧪⚛️ 👩🏼‍🔬

Powdered sugar.

Perfect night to sit in that stadium.

I no longer read anything on Substack after @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social brought to readers’ attention what a terrible company they are.
