Not in a performative way. I said something and could see their throat close in response before the coughing and spluttering started... oops.15 Nov 2024 04:04 +0000at://did:plc:kn4etbj3o7sdhajjiutgzh4z/app.bsky.feed.post/3laxioqib6c2shttps://bsky.app/profile/saraparks.bsky.social/post/3kqeupc4miq2rWhy do academics and applied folks in sustainability and environment-related fields respond to years of terribleness by either quick rage or equanimity? It feels weird to be in the latter camp. But a lot of us are rather unflappable. I wonder about the possible rhetorical impacts.18 Apr 2024 03:35 +0000at://did:plc:kn4etbj3o7sdhajjiutgzh4z/app.bsky.feed.post/3kqeupc4miq2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/saraparks.bsky.social/post/3kkpm73vt2k2sDiving into Cours3ra.

Totally blew it off. But I noticed the wierd quality of sunlight while coming home from the grocery store. Didn't put it together until later. Genuine, unmediated experience of an eclipse!15 Oct 2023 02:11 +0000at://did:plc:kn4etbj3o7sdhajjiutgzh4z/app.bsky.feed.post/3kbqzbhrcon2chttps://bsky.app/profile/saraparks.bsky.social/post/3kbqy2prpfh2bFour proposals (of various types) in one week is a new high (low?

We need to know these tools! But we are against using these tools! But to make good arguments against use we need to use them! But the possibilities might be worth the costs! But they might not!
