I’m not sure why, but I *cannot* get over this dog cloning article written by @DogUmwelt and published by @NewYorker. It hits so many points of critique – from the psychological, biological, existential, and ethical. Immersive, chilling read. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

I gratefully attended a talk based on Carter’s policy work and service. He starts by reminding you he is, first and foremost, a “scientist” in the sense that he is simply a human who seeks answers by asking many questions. I never forgot that. Sad to hear about his passing.

Ash Carter, who served as secretary of defense in the final two years of the Obama administration and opened military jobs to women and ended a ban on transgender people serving in the military, has died at age 68. apnews.com/article/ash-ca…

@designingh2o Omggg. I shamelessly use a BlenderBottle. It’s a workout to get that foam, of which dissipates after maybe fifteen minutes. It’s a combo of too cheap to get a frother and a gym pass.

An announcer at the flight gate to Rome just *stared* down a group of passengers from the end of the terminal - kilometers away - beelining towards her and said, verbatim: “Gate B08 leaving for Rome is closing now - RUN!” 🏃‍♂️🏃🏃‍♀️

@amanda_gann @WRIIndia Congratulations Amanda!!

Driving on the highway rn and saw fireworks from diff cities/towns. One was near the interstate, so I instantly had to pull over to enjoy the show. The best part was that I wasn’t the only one: dozens of other 🚙 parked on the shoulder with their E lights on doing the same thing.

@YouSoFancy @leeloowrites Ahh you’re speaking my language. +1 to all of the above. I’d add Prismacolor Turquoise graphite drawing pencils, in HB and Bs.

@leeloowrites Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this 👩🏾‍🎨 Kuretake Zig, Copic, Tombow for markers/pens; Koh-i-Noor, pentel hybrid arts technica writing and drawing pens; Faber-Castell, Derwent for pencil (watercolor, intense, graphite, color, charcoal) Conté for conté crayons,

@designingh2o **Not India’s, haha. They are mice I found abandoned under my car and I didn’t have the heart to just leave them scattered on the asphalt in the heat without a mom.🥺 I’m going to have to get syringes and formula to feed them since none of the wildlife rehab’ers got back to me.

@amanda_gann This is affirming. Feeling less creepy of my artificial shoulders haha

@amanda_gann A true urban jungle 😍
