I’m going back to work full time on Monday and I’m devastated. I know I’m luckier than most in this country as I got 24 weeks full pay to be with my girl. A competition isn’t what I care for nor does it help my woes.

To get a year with my girl, to watch her grow during this formidable time, I yearn for it. Jack is taking over her care now. He’ll be with her for 4 months until we put her in daycare at 10 months.

My whole entire life makes me a sorta prepper.

Being a geologist I understand how natural hazards can knock us out. Then working as a technical expert on superfund sites, I realize how much corporations and DOD are poisoning us.

I see how those near these sites are affected by contamination. Truly, i see cognitive issues in these areas. I wish people would talk about this for Project 2025 which wants to smite EPA. T* already deleted a lot of superfund sites off NPL that absolutely weren't ready. So we will continue to poison our land and by association, ourselves.

It's utterly heartbreaking. I'm working on a Navy site now and im looking at the vapor intrusion in the buildings and it's nauseating. The plume is volatilizing and it some areas theyre are claiming the detections aren't from the plume but from the work being done in there. So two sources, the ground and their work. mother fuck.

When i was in YTT last year, the teacher and owner of the studio couldn't understand how being geologist would make me sad for humanity. At that time, I was working on a lumber site that was obviously dumping. The people downstream of it weren't well. I feel so much pain for these people.

It's beyond the groundwater plumes we create in the world.

It’s been a minute.
