Sunrise over Tropical Cyclone #Alfred πŸŒ€

The center of Alfred is now only a few hundred kilometers east of Brisbane. Thunderstorms are concentrated south of its exposed low-level circulation.

Alfred remains at Category 2 strength for now, while its movement is slow and meandering.

Trump Killed a Major Report on Nature. They’re Trying to Publish It Anyway. (Gift Article) The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study β€œtoo important to die.”

As I shared last week, the US's first National Nature Assessment has been shut down: but the authors, led by @phillevin.bsky.social, are determined to continue. Read more: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c...

Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed | Judith Butler Those who celebrate his defiance and sadism are as claimed by his logic as those who are paralyzed with outrage

READ THIS ASAP:
β€œIf we continue to be gripped with outrage and stilled by stupefaction by each day’s new proclamation, we will fail to discern what links them. To be gripped by his statements is precisely the aim of their utterance.”

It's amazing, I even have a painting similar to the first one you posted of clouds in the circle frame, I will dig it up and send you a photo. I thought - I have to reach out to this person! I'm new to this platform too, slowly leaving the big ones, but it's tricky with art, instagram is so dominant

As a library technician I'm loving this post πŸ™. Keep borrowing! Loan stats keep the libraries running, on shelf materials and digital.
