Every time you check out a library book instead of ordering from Amazon, ask a friend instead of an LLM, cook a meal instead of ordering from an app, or go for a walk instead of scrolling social media, you interrupt the cash flows of insane CEOs. Do it! Ruin their day!

I ended up walking over 10 miles around Amsterdam, but a lot of that was wandering around Schiphol airport trying to find the lockers I had used to stash my luggage. I was so lost I ended up going through passport control three times! 😂

Hi Bluesky friends! What should I do for a few hours in Amsterdam on Sunday? 🇳🇱

Welp, this was the best total solar eclipse I saw from the Iceland Sea, but it was still very fun to talk to several hundred people about space while on a cruise ship!

I’m not sure which is more unbelievable, that I was somehow okay with travel uncertainty for almost six weeks of preparation or that I’M GOING TO CRUISE AROUND ICELAND TO SEE THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE!!!! 🇮🇸 🚢 ☀️
