It's February which means it's #BlackHistoryMonth & I've said before I love #BHM. This month, I'm going to share a resource with a focus on Black history that I had a hand in making every day.

A couple thoughts on this upcoming winter storm for #Houston. We are now entering the timeframe where forecasting specifics gets modestly more comfortable. Models have been almost uncomfortably stable with the general theme of this storm for 2+ days now. 1/11

A front is pushing into the Houston metro area this morning, kicking off a week-long period of much colder weather, with hard freezes likely on multiple mornings, and a probable winter storm that will significantly disrupt travel around the region on Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. #houwx #housky

New from me: “The way I see it “woke” combines the experience of having an awakening (“something or someone woke me up”) with the alertness that follows (“I can’t or won’t go back to sleep; I’m awake now.”) In that way, “woke” is an incredible concept, right?”

It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’. ‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.

It decidedly did not feel like the holidays this weekend in Houston, and we’ve got a few more warm, muggy days before a front arrives to bring seasonal weather back into the forecast. There will be plenty of drier air and chilly temperatures this coming weekend. But what of Christmas Day?🎅 #houwx

Right so after several recent incidents at work it seems like it's time to tap the sign again: Never apologize to me when your cat crashes a video call. Your cat is perfect. I understand that the begging for attention is not charming to you but it is to me and I wish to see your cat. Thank you.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

You’re online betting. I’m organically freaking out about the outcome of a sporting event in which I have no rooting interest as a displacement for allowing myself to feel emotions. We are not the same.
