The Glimmering Tide | Louisa Flynn | Substack Reflections on these challenging times, looking for the glimmers all around. Click to read The Glimmering Tide, by Louisa Flynn, a Substack publication. Launched a year ago.

Hi Bluesky, had to share that I’m excited to have found a direction for my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/theglimm... It’s early days, but I would love to connect with anyone who uses the platform, and warmly welcome new readers. A blend of new nature writing and eco poetry, this feels good!

Scientists chased a falling spacecraft with a plane to understand satellite air pollution "The event was fainter than we expected."

To better understand how falling satellites affect the air we breathe, scientists tracked a reentering spacecraft by plane. The goal was to study the metal particles released during reentry, something most of us might not think about, but could impact our atmosphere.

It's quite telling that there's so much debate about 'what is a woman' and almost none about what is a man.

We wouldn't need to debate 'what is a woman' if the space allowed for women in society wasn't so arbitrarily and narrowly prescribed in the first place.
