Out of everything I have crammed into my brain about the little bubble of air we exist in and its almost Sisyphean quest for equilibrium, what has caused the most psychic damage?

Learning about commercial flight levels.

Sharing my favorite cloud/storm of all time for #CloudAppreciationDay.

Hard to believe its already almost the two year anniversary of the Ada, OK storm.

A supercell thunderstorm at night with pancake-stacked structure and lightning protruding out from the clouds in a few directions. A clear, starry sky sits to the left, and a gravel road extends out to the horizon.

Just wrapped up You Weren’t Meant to Be Human by @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social and (I mean this in the most positive way) what the FUCK?

Panel 1: A shirtless man with a large shark bite sits calmly on a chair, hands folded, and declares: “I died fighting a shark.” Panel 2: Next to him, a rugged hunter with a grey beard and cap sits with hole in his head. He explains, “I died hunting with friends.” Panel 3: A man with visible traces of car tires sits on a chair, bones jutting out from a car accident. He mutters, “I died crossing the street.” Panel 4: A simple ghost draped in a white sheet sits next to him. It confesses, “I died changing the bed sheets.” The joke suggests that the pop-culture image of ghosts covered in white sheets comes from people who met their end while struggling with linens.

The atmosphere is quite humbling. #photography

A ridiculously tall LP supercell towering over a northwest Oklahoma landscape with red cliffs in the distance. The Sun appears to be setting behind the storm.

Officially re-started my degree this morning after having to drop out over a decade ago. I still wish the timeline that got me here had been more...compressed. But I am glad that I'll likely be able to do this without additional debt and that I had time to really reflect on what I'd like to learn.

GOES West captured von Kármán vortices streaming around Guadalupe Island this morning. These cloud formations typically occur when the prevailing wind is diverted by elevated land features such as islands, mountaintops, or volcanoes. More cloud science at: noaa.gov/jetstream/clouds

Books since I last posted about books -

1. VEAL by Mackenzie Nolan. Very gay. Very interesting conceptually. Promising debut.
2. THE DEATHLESS ONE by Emma Hamm. Listen. If you give me a seemingly dark & ruthless god who is down bad for a human, I am very probably going to show up. I am who I am.

One of my favourite non-tornadic storms from this past US chase season.

I almost dropped off this guy an hour or so earlier after it looked fairly ordinary, but glad I stuck with it.
