Walking through the falling of very large snowflakes. Today seems like a good day for large thoughts, "with grandeur, and drenching, barrel-scorning cataracts, and detonations of fist-clenched hope, and hundreds of cellos." [from Nicholson Baker's The Size of Thoughts]

Lohren Green's collection Atmospherics is an absolutely enthralling intersection of psychology, poetry, & physics. You'll even see some network science hiding among the constellations and between the seams. Also --- Poetry Tables? (see encircled in pencil) Be still my heart! https://t.co/2uLWORGVbl

And more broadly, I'm learning so much from the frame of mind, commitments, and practices that bell hooks describes and evinces in her book "Teaching to Transgress". Simply cannot put it down. (7/n) https://t.co/jbZ3zTB4ZF

Robert Boyle in The Sceptical Chymist (1661) complains about how alchemists "do so abuse the termes they employ, that as they will now and then give divers things, one name; so they will oftentimes give one thing, many names." That never happens in modern science, does it? 🤔
