    So seeing the eclipse is like taking acid or Psilocybin mushrooms?

    I knew I had a reason for not watching.

    About 2 years ago, I began looking for one thing everyday to be amazed by to balance the flood of things that look so negative. Sometimes we have to save ourselves instead of looking for an external newsfeed to do that for us. The more habituated I became in looking for little things, the bigger picture faded somewhat.

    Most interesting quote in Dr. Ristroph’s article: “Former slave-holding states are still the home to most of America’s black population.”
    Given how horribly racist everybody knows those states are, it sure would be interesting to get her take on just why that’s still true.

    Turns out the totality paths of the 2023 and 2024 eclipses cross over my hometown. Note that we average 300+ days of sun/year.
