Editor, the Norton Library Edition of Moby-Dick (out now!). Writing about oil, infrastructure, extraction, environment, Line 5. Loves every dog.
Happy anniversary! It was on this day, July 25, 2010, that Enbridge's Line 6B ruptured in Michigan. But don't worry, it was only 17 full hours before they realized it so just a million gallons of diluted bitumen spilled into the Kalamazoo River.
Saginaw Bay might not be the best stretch of Lake Huron but it will do.

shrimp and grits, choi sum, garlic scapes, crispy pancetta, salsa macha. (Grits from old mill guilford, nc.)
when administrators presented the results of their year-long campus conversations about the proposed data center to the Board of Trustees today, they did not include one single word of opposition to the plan. Which is a little strange since the room was full of people opposed to the plan.
let us never forget that the mission of a university is to produce workers for an economy

in case you were wondering why I'm so annoying about the Line 5 pipeline
me and the plovers had the entire coastline of Lake Michigan all to ourselves today
when news of the invasion of Normandy hit, press associations named my grandfather, part of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, as the first man ashore. No way to know that for sure but we do know he never recovered from the war experience so fuck that shit.
