Slept outside in a thunderstorm last night and woke up to the smell of wet grass and coffee! Perfect way to begin 36!

Thirty-six in two days...so many things have tried to kill me, but here we are. Literally too stubborn to die. Wish some things were different, but I'm just proud to have gotten here and privileged to have another year of life experiences and memories (good and bad) under my belt!

Birthday dinner with Kira!!!

Welp, guess I am seeing a moving about F1! Such a beautiful man.

Came home to the super fun surprise of not having furniture and having my stuff moved with zero warning. This will be THE THIRD time I will remind housing that it's against the contract for them to enter without notice.

Very much enjoying my job! Official title is Chuck Minion #1! Getting involved in so many cool projects!

How am I this tired after just running around the department yesterday?!

Soooooo many rocks!

How is our morning commute regularly interrupted by mean geese?! Honking only causes them to hiss and slow down!

Republicans want to add work requirements for Americans to get Medicaid. Is that a necessary step to fight "waste, fraud, and abuse" or a sneaky way of cutting the social safety net?

Everything hurts but I love what I get to do and be. Can't stop, won't stop.

The best care package snack!!

Got anger? Get rocks. A few unusable samples may or may not be dust behind McGlothlin right now....

Field work in the Blue Ridge on my birthday just feels right.

Having a great time with my mysterious friend. All from the same boulder mixed into Catoctin!!!

Love rock saw day! Power tools!

Might owe the neighbor apology brownies after stripping to my skivvies in the laundry room in what I THOUGHT was an empty building. A grad student named Drew lives downstairs.

Took advantage of it being too hot to walk to campus and enjoyed a chilled-out, self-care, cleaning, re-set day! Bubbly bath, candy, book, and caught up on chores. Much needed!! 💗

The only outfit that seemed reasonable in this heat!

Trapped inside, spa day 💅

The headline is a bit scary, but this is actually a really cute story

Like a dog that heard the word "car".

1. Stonewall National Monument took down trans flags and progress pride flags, opting only to fly the rainbow pride flag. It erases the trans people who led the Stonewall uprising. Thankfully, New Yorkers have been bringing their own and planting them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Good Evening✨ Max Inwood ~ A Sea of Lupines: A View of the Milky Way Lake Tekapo, New Zealand

National parks enter their busiest season understaffed and underfunded. Morning Edition visited Joshua Tree to speak with local business owners and a park ranger feeling the impact. By @amartinezla.bsky.social and Iman Maani

Three days in the field and a night of camping tomorrow. This will be fine. I'm invincible.
