I'm selling 2 tix to the Green Day show in Detroit next Wednesday, Sept 4: https://my.ticketmaster.com/ds/vQGA7xDLce/event/08005F61FC003B53

Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid & the Linda Lindas will also be there and I’m sure it will be a great show. I bought these a year ago before I knew I’d be moving to MD & asking less than I paid. #music #Michigan #Detroit #GreenDay

Africa is bigger than China, the US, Eastern Europe & India combined.

Since Earth is a sphere, flat maps dramatically distort the size of continents.

I pay very close attention to #politics because I study politics.

This is the best #DNC I've seen.

Those folks in the Middle Ages may have been onto something 😆

I’m noticing that many of my friends in the Northeast & on the West Coast seem to be feeling very confident about a #Harris win in 2024.

Don’t be.

Governor Tim Walz will be a fantastic VP. #HarrisWalz2024 #politics #Walz

I hear he also likes cats. 🐈

I finally watched Pom Poko with my family - one of the few Ghibli films we hadn’t seen. It’s a strange, sad & thought-provoking movie. I’ll be reflecting on this one for some time.

Also, something that shouldn’t need to be said, but never criticize a candidate based on her reproductive status.

Unless you intend to lose. /2

Hey, so before you criticize a female candidate because you “don’t like her laugh”…

Don’t.

I'm excited to share that I am heading back to the Senate this Fall to work with Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) on science policy related to energy, agriculture, water, the environment & more!

I keep thinking about this conversation from a few years ago... #KamalaHarris #politics

Listen to smart women with cats. (And with dogs, birds, lizards, rodents… )

President Biden will not seek reelection.

Relatable. #books

Several kind folks have asked about my upcoming move to DC since posting about it last week.

So I wrote more about that here: https://open.substack.com/pub/sheril/p/back-to-the-beginning?r=1j872&utm_medium=ios

We’ve known for decades that extremes were coming.

Higher temps ☀️
Drier droughts 🥵
Intense storms ⛈️
Severe floods 🌊
Changing coasts 🏝️
Insecure resources 🌱
Growing conflict 💥
Increased migration🚶🏽♂️
Mounting uncertainty 🌍

#ClimateChange is real. It’s here. It’s now. We have work to do.

A detailed #news story at CNN about record breaking heat across the US, yet no mention of #climate change? 🤔

Appreciation post for how #mastodon has never tried to sell me anything.

Thank you :emoji_wink:
