Are you as deeply disappointed in the leadership of @theAGU and @ORNL as I am? This is not who I thought we are. Civil disobedience has a valid place in public discourse, and that includes scientific meetings.

TW: mention of depressive episode, anxiety I am currently in the depths of the worst depressive episode I've had in years, and so my productivity has plummeted. I had a meeting scheduled for this morning with my advisor and project PI. (1/4)

I want to help #EndTheStigma, so, as terrified as I was, I ended up prefacing our meeting with this information, and I asked that we spend the meeting defining specific tasks that I can focus my limited brain power/energy on. (3/4)

The outcome? They were incredibly kind and receptive to the information and my ask, and we ended up having a very good meeting. I am so grateful for their compassion and willingness to pivot our focus. All this to say: NORMALIZE TALKING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH. (end)

Gonna say this once and flor-al: 👉Wildflowers are for pictures, not picking. 👉Wildflowers are for smelling, not stamping. 👉Wildflower season is just about in full bloom, and you can be their best bud by staying on marked trails and practicing Leave No Trace principles.

Can't believe this part of the Miss Congeniality perfect date scene ended up on the cutting room floor.
An altered screenshot of the famous "Describe your perfect date" scene from the film Miss Congeniality, wherein one contestant answers "April 25th because all you need is a light jacket." The screenshot has been altered to add additional text encouraging people to dress warmly at higher elevations, no matter how mild it feels in the low lands.

If getting older means that bending down to look in the fridge tweaks my lower back, I'm not sure I'm too stoked on the idea 😭

At some point, Past Amanda decided to delete figures she *knew* I wouldn't need. Past Amanda is now in big trouble with Present Amanda because she was wrong and I do, in fact, need those figures 🙃
