Ken Hon was my mineralogy, optical mineralogy, petrology and volcanology prof. He took the min class to see Kīlauea's lava flows. It's so fun to know he's now the scientist-in-charge at #HVO. I've heard that he's been really great at keeping people informed.

The photos show Ken, in a yellow coat, down on the ground filming a lava flow.

The other is the second big group trip to the active lava flows way back in the 1990s.

I left the Zuckerbergian autocracy in 2019 and didn’t use any social media platforms ever since. I tried out #twitter for a few months, but it’s just a mess. Well, here I am: #queer #electricviolinist #composer #vegan #cheesemaker based in #hawaii. I study #philosophy at #uhhilo and write #poems on #substack. Looking for friendly earthlings who can help me navigate this #mastodon thing. I’m interested in #ethics #buddhism #politics and #criticalthinking. Aloha 🤙
