I'm really excited to put my signed copy of Everything is Tuburculosis next to my signed copy of The Anthroproene Reviewed. You are one of my favorite authors and your work has gotten me through some times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just two buddies hanging out ♡

Maybe it's like the metric system and it just isn't a common unit of measure in the US?

I don't necessarily rely on CNN as a primary source. I was in a hurry and figured you could find your own alternative source! I tend to trust BBC and NPR a lot more. While I will admit the increased cost wasn't 100% his tariffs, the tariffs didn't help and may have added to shortages.

This has been a pretty nice change for social media. I never got into Twitter but I'm finding myself browsing here more than Facebook or even Tiktok.

Trump slaps first tariffs on Canadian lumber The Trump administration is hitting Canada with stiff tariffs of up to 24% on lumber shipped into the United States. It's the first tariffs imposed by President Trump, who during his election campaign...

It wasn't related to covid. money.cnn.com/2017/04/24/i...

During his first term the cost of lumber went up. I haven't seen any fresh tree farms popping up. We still rely on Canada and he wants to do a 25% tariff for them. I wish you luck in the years to come but I'm already trying to minimize my investment risks with a financial advisor.

So are you excited about his tariffs?

Not that he deserves a pardon but I wonder how they'd react if Biden pardoned Trump?

The frost is pretty metal today.

It still sort of amuses me that the republicans went for a gun crime against him. Pardoning his son is such a non-issue.

Seeing the northern lights over the family farm this fall was pretty amazing.

The party that spent years saying we couldn't raise minimum wage without the additional cost of doing business being passed on to consumers expects us to believe that the cost of doing blanket tariffs won't be passed on to the consumer. Make it make sense.

I just leave this here.....

I want congress people to start wearing logos on their suits so we can easily see who they're sponsored by.. or maybe something like a girl scout sash?

I honestly have hated apathetic voters ever since 2016.

The mainstream media prefers reality television to sound governing and hard questions.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

I'm only on tiktok, bluesky, and discord these days for social media. I never really joined Twitter so this all feels pretty new to me.

They look like my Ziggy!

One of my favorites near me

I think audiobooks are a valid way of consuming books but they aren't reading because you literally are not reading, you're listening. I say this as someone who loves her audiobooks. I think whatever method someone needs to do to consume information is totally okay.

I'm going to go buy a copy right now 🥰

I have a tiktok too btw!

I'm missing the autumn leaves now that Michigan is finally cooling down for winter.
