No one likes being discombobulated. How did the feeling get such a fun name? Sometimes you just need to recombobulate. That word isn't in the dictionary, but it is on a beloved sign at Milwaukee's airport.

What we’ve found important in our house is to have a mix of completely different sizes and shapes. Obviously you’ll want to make sure nothing nests together for storage, but it’s equally critical to make sure nothing fits in the dishwasher racks

Too many poetry words? It is a perennial problem - I write anyway.

"crow caws and tawny soy bean leaves
married ear and eye, I didn't know
how like caterpillars
soy pods looked -
a ravenous hoard indeed
if they were chewing, not ripening;"

Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?” Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.” Snowy aka Milou is very excited about the drink he has found. Viñeta de Tintin El capitán Haddock, sentado a una mesa y con aspecto de estar agotado, dice: "¡Menuda semana, ¿eh?". Tintín, a su derecha, le dice: "Capitán, es miércoles". A la izquierda, Milú mira muy contento la bebida que está en la mesa.

Would eliminate funding of journal subscription AND publishing fees! While requiring research results be open access. I guess we just post everything on preprint servers instead of peer reviewed journals?

Come to learn about the project we’ve been working so hard on for the last few years.

Wow they are closing a ton of research stations including Anchorage

Uma ave de rapina em pleno voo, com plumagem predominantemente preta e cinzenta nas asas e cauda, destacando-se um padrão listrado. A cabeça exibe uma máscara amarela intensa ao redor dos olhos. A ave segura uma serpente com suas garras, a qual se contorce sobre um monte de terra avermelhada. O fundo revela uma paisagem campestre sob um céu azul tênue.

photograph or a poster on cream colored paper. "Dear President Ambar, we are writing to you on a typewriter that is over 70 years old. This is a machine that we all know well. With it, we misspell words without the crutch of spell check or generative AI and we think intently about every phrase we pound out. As we force ourselves, for once, to slow down, we engage in a cognitive dialogue with ourselves. We do not seek perfection because we know that education is about the growing and challenging of our young minds' potential, not the chasing of institutional 'gold-star' approval. We do not believe that your so-called 'Year of AI Exploration; providing enterprise ChatGPT and Google Gemini subscriptions to every Oberlin student aligns with our college's founding principles. You claim that this year will be one of experimentation, not adoption. But even just one semester of accepted (encouraged even) chat bot use will jettison our student body down a lazy and irredeemable tunnel of intellectual destruction. We are a college grounded in learning and labor, which now risks straying from these rooted ideals. With ChatGPT at the helm, our emails, essays,and discussion posts will be generated for us, not by us. And let's not fool ourselves. This is precisely what these platforms will be used for by our busy, anxious student body. We see your vision for this year as.advancing the college's 'businessification'--an alarming trend also seen in the takeover of our beloved library cafe by a 'bookstore' with no books in stock and an app replacing customer service. In one instance, the college assumes we want efficiency at all costs through automated rather than hand pulled coffee. In the other lies the false belief that we simply desire to turn in an essay, regardless of how little we've written of it." there's more that doesn't fit in the 2000 character limit :(

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

These Underprotected Brazilian Wetlands Store Carbon with Staggering Density - Eos The Cerrado, largely overlooked in climate science and policy, is a critical carbon sink, according to new research.

“We are just losing a lot of these wetlands silently, invisibly,” says Rafael Oliveira about the Cerrado. “They remain invisible in policy in Brazil & even for the global scientific community. They really deserve urgent, stronger protection & recognition at the global level.”

These Underprotected Brazilian Wetlands Store Carbon with Staggering Density - Eos The Cerrado, largely overlooked in climate science and policy, is a critical carbon sink, according to new research.

This overlooked ecosystem holds as much carbon as 20% of the Amazon Rainforest, according to a new analysis of its dense, wet soils.
