Hi Twitter, long time no talk. But at least I have kept my promise to my parents to send them a picture a day.

Main updates: I moved to my 2nd host family. I am now in Affoltern Switzerland. The first thing we did when I got here was go on a walk with their goats at sunset. Wow.

I am so grateful to the 𝓥𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓶𝓮𝓻 family for letting me stay with them for my first month in Europe! Their house was built in 1730! And even has a Wikipedia page https://t.co/iCh9Vgl38I

What do you get when you have some Taiwanese, Fins, a Swede, a Korean, an Irish, a German, American and a Canadian in a Swiss “hill” cabin?

A dance party of course 💃🏼

Guten Morgen! Day 4 of my @JFAOtraveller in Switzerland! My first host familie Vollmer is actually just across the German border in Rheinfelden! Excited for this summer’s adventure! 🇨🇭🇩🇪

Back in June, I help my mom clean out her pool shed. There's a strand of old twinkle lights with plastic flamingos. "Throw them out," she says. "They don't work." But I see that the flamingos came off easily, so I start to pull them off. "I can do something with these."

It may seem like nonsense to some folks but we should all be very concerned about the amount of misinformation that is swirling around in our country and in our communities. Very good article ⬇️

It is a pretty cool coincidence that the human brain contains around the same number of neurons as there are stars in the Milky Way.

[Mike Sowden @Mikeachim]

I recently learned something mindblowing about the geological history of the Mediterranean Sea, and I just can't get it out of my head.

Now I'm going to make it *your* problem too. Sorry.

Hang onto your hat. This is wild.

My Parents and I just had this conversation. I crave the community that seemed to exist when my parents grew up. And I wonder, if you boil it all down, those communities existed on the foundation that families could survive off a single income.
Thoughtful🧵.

Geek Time...If you ever wanted a great example of #clouds forming when cold air moves over a warmer body of water, check out the Great Lakes this afternoon. Look at all that moisture being pulled out of Lake Superior!! #weather #nature

“I really believe in the the ability of human beings to be good. […] life is hard on people and it makes them do bad things, but I think people are good. And I think we can solve our problems by supporting each other.”
