🚨 IMPORTANT: You can use the word 'autumnal' if you want today. 🚨
The Fall/Autumnal Equinox is TODAY at 2:19 PM EDT. That's the time at which our Sun is directly over the Earth's equator, signaling the start of the Northern Hemisphere's astronomical fall. The Earth’s northern hemisphere will continue to tilt further from the sun through the Winter Solstice on December 21 this year.

Happy to announce that I'll be joining @bellingcat at the end of this month as a Senior Researcher. It's fitting, as I've already been working with the excellent team there for the past five years on various investigations with Scripps. Looking forward to continuing that work!
