Lapsed geologist, Chief Scientist at @oceana.bsky.social, dog mom. DC born and raised. Philly is my 2nd home.🖖 Skeets my own, *not* my employer’s. Mostly oceans + science + climate + policy. A little politics (sorry) and Phillies (not sorry).
heh I am talking to my dog like "look at that carnivorous sponge"
Two baseball greats, Jimmy Rollins and Ken Griffey Jr shooting the breeze.
Lift Every Voice and Sing feels like the right anthem to lead things off!
At the HBCU Swingman Classic, introducing the lineups and coaches and here comes Jimmy Rollins!
Amazing there are DEEP SEA CUCUMBERS that you would imagine are custom made for this purpose (why we don’t call them sea pickles b/c they live in brine is a whole other thing)
So my @oceana.bsky.social Mexico colleague got her cat ready for the game tonight and I need to share this 😍
Caught Brandon Marsh being a little saucy after his hit just now
My niece has the hots for Brandon Marsh. In the family chat just now we wondered if he’s taken. I go to Reddit and find this zinger. 🤣
What a gorgeous night for baseball can we score some more runs now #phillies
GHANA! GHANAAAAA!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 (I bought what I'm pretty sure is a counterfeit jersey in the market in Accra two weeks ago, but is that OK because FIFA didn't get any of my money?)
My rec softball team didn't have enough players last night. We asked 2 Indian guys who had taken a seat in the shade if they wanted to play. Arjun (1st time in US) was visiting Hari (new IT worker in Dallas): "we don't know the rules but ok!" Super fun & they did great. We had THE BEST TIME.
Me too! Though Ghana has to beat Panama today to have a realistic hope of getting out of group stage...
Took this photo in my neighborhood ages ago. I hope it's still there and ready for the #FIFA fanfest at Lemon Hill happening basically next door. (Love the Philly attitude, no?)
next thing you know we'll be building a Six Flags in Grand Escalante
Spotted lanternfly nymphs are everywhere. 😬 I put this sticky tape around a tree in front of my condo building in DC 36 hours ago.
