A spectacular stretch! Get out there and enjoy it 🏃‍♀️🚲🍁☀️

The Marquette Hall Tower bells playing Roll Out the Barrell. Go Brewers.

What if we could lower electricity rates by making better use of the grid we already have? New research shows how heat pumps can tap underutilized winter grid capacity, spreading infrastructure costs across more electricity sales while cutting emissions. #heatpumpnation rmi.org/resources/th...

⚡Maryland and other U.S. states need to review their electricity rates to ensure they are fair for heat pumps. #HeatPump #EnergySky #ClimateSky #GreenSky #HVAC #EnergyAffordability #BuildingDecarbonization #CleanHeat #Maryland #ElectrifyEverything #UtilityRates #mdpol #EnergyPolicy #BuildingDecarb

"One year after NYC launched its congestion pricing policy, fine particulate pollution inside Manhattan’s congestion relief zone was 13 percent lower." news.climate.columbia.edu/2026/10/07/s...

Oh darn. It’s pouring rain outside. I guess we’ll have to stay inside and nap.

When ISIS killed my friend James Foley on camera they put him in an orange jumpsuit as a direct reference to images of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Not fucking interested my government having a fucking propaganda CONVERSATION with tomorrow’s terrorists, thanks.

Beauty makes me hopeless. I don't care why anymore I just want to get away. When I look at the city of Paris I long to wrap my legs around it. - Anne Carson, Nobel Laureate

Anne Carson, newly minted Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, once published the greatest ever author bio

a nobel prize is cool i guess but Anne Carson also received a Sappho finger puppet from yours truly and just look at that smile

please do not post photos of barbour jackets in early october if you're not also voting for policies to address global warming

i remain so alarmed by all the discourse about how people can use AI to get good deals / fight wage theft / counteract extractive insurance practices that doesn’t acknowledge that — if you accept this works — the companies on the other side … also can use it to do the opposite?

COVID: bad. Being excused from absolutely everything while I lie under a quilt in the attic drinking tea and watching East of Eden: unfortunately, incredible.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

Trump’s slashing of clean energy policies isn’t just increasing pollution and cutting jobs, it’s costing Americans a lot of money. New @energyinnovation.org modeling 👇 abcnews.com/US/wireStory...

Finally got time to go through the full report and it knocked my socks off. Cohesive argument that housing, insurance, energy, and transportation costs should be thought of as one interconnected issue, and we should tackle as a package by building smarter in low hazard areas at SCALE.

hi energy freaks, as you surely know, the senate has a permitting deal! heatmap explains!

For the most part, driving is super inefficient but at least it's really expensive and also quite dangerous.

Truly humbled to make the @time.com 100 Next list out today. Thank you for the nomination, Bill Nye! time.com/collection/t...

A footnote to my Lyme story: my husband hunts deer because we have WAY too many in the DMV. I call venison hyper-local, climate-friendly protein with ecological benefits (a take that is not wildly popular in Takoma Park). But after my diagnosis, I have a new slogan: eat the deer, reduce the ticks.

Stevie Wonder releasing four previously unheard tracks from Songs in the Key of Life for its 50th anniversary is delightful. Also a reminder, you can, in fact, make masterpieces and still leave some songs in the vault. pitchfork.com/story/stevie...

My latest: Twice as fast and at half the cost: A geothermal startup is collaborating with one of the nation’s largest homebuilders to drive down the cost of tapping the subsurface for heating and cooling. link ⬇️

One of the things I love most about spending a week in NYC is taking the train back to DC, then the metro home and everything feeling comparably quaint and quiet and bucolic as my nervous system regulates

Bonus for whoever wrote this chyron

Climate Week, but maybe the real decarbonization was the solar-powered cargo bikes we rode through Manhattan along the way. #ClimateWeekNYC #SaultyDog

A district court ruled that the Trump administration must reinstate a $7 billion grant program that funded solar panel installation for low- and moderate-income families.

Briefly popping my head back in to unveil the cover of my upcoming book, LIFE BEYOND MEASURE: Nature's Hidden Wonders at Every Scale. It’ll be out on April 6 in the U.S. and April 29 in the U.K. and you can pre-order it right now! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/757705... 1/

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and the essay Total Eclipse are among my absolute favorite writings that I often revisit -- fundamentally shaped my perspective, life, and career. Grateful for Annie Dillard. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/b...

New research! Solving the U.S. housing shortage can be a force multiplier for gigaton-scale emissions cuts and an affordable, resilient future. Thrilled to be a co-author on this new white paper from the newly launched Housing Multiplier Project. housingmultiplier.org/wp-content/u...

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Agreed. I increasingly see this kind of argument invoked to argue against interventions like air conditioning in places where extreme heat events are increasingly leading to mass mortality. We no longer get to choose between adaptation & mitigation--we have to do both at an accelerating pace.

I think more and more that @davidzipper.bsky.social got this exactly right. many counties experiencing population decline have high elderly populations. getting people to walmart or a small airport would be a big deal. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
