Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

Aurora Borealis

The Aurora Borealis is probably my favorite Borealis.

The Dusty Surroundings of Orion and the Pleiades apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26030...
This image contains the Pleiades star cluster, Barnard's Loop, Orion Nebula, Aldebaran, Betelgeuse, Witch Head Nebula, Eridanus Loop, and the California Nebula.

Everything seems awful and chaotic and powerless, so I am left to do what I can only do: share some beauty with the world. I have no wise words or platitudes, but I do have a camera and empathy. A shot from my first global geomagnetic storm (2024) 💛

I feel ya. Sooooooo much. I mostly try my darndest to not give him an ounce of my energy - even the negative kind. It is hard some days tho.

The image is of a sculptural installation of the sun-Helios by Luke Jerram at Winchester Cathedral. It is orange and features a life like representation of the sun’s surface and hangs in the central aisle of the cathedral.

You don't want to hear the story
of my life, and anyway
I don't want to tell it,
I want to listen to the enormous
waterfalls of the sun.
-Mary Oliver

May the sun shine for you wherever you are warriors.💛

Analysis: China’s clean-energy exports in 2024 alone will cut overseas CO2 by 1% - Carbon Brief China’s clean-energy technologies such as solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles are helping to cut emissions in other countries.

The solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines exported from China in 2024 are set to cut annual CO2 emissions in the rest of the world by 1%, some 220m tonnes (MtCO2). www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

The Sierra Nevadas of California. Pushing past a smooth grooved tree trunk in the foreground, a bright blue lane gives rise to trees and ultimately snow capped mountains. This is 10k feet.

Woke up early, so what better way to start the day than a walk along the #Victorian promenade. Such a spectacular sky this morning! #photooftheday #NatureIsMagic #photography #Wales

Cabrillo National Monument

New blooms gather as the air moves.
Color rises from a steady strength.
Each moment opens with calm presence.
Hope unfolds in the smallest promise.
And nature settles quietly in your heart.

And I don’t want to hear shit about a censure vote against this man.

Rep. Al Greene was ejected from the State of the Union for the sign — “Black People Aren’t Apes.”

Now THAT is a great experience. 🥰

Is it just me, or are news outlets just generally not talking much about the US blockade of oil for Cuba? I only just heard about it today 😱

Jacaranda trees in bloom lining Fairfax in South Hollywood, CA I consider this a very mediocre picture but I’m posting it today in contrast to yesterday’s amazing pic as a test. I paired yesterday’s with Malcolm X and those pics never do numbers. Methinks the folks on this platform need a lot more Malcolm in their lives. Ninnys.

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. - Alice Walker

Farage forgets that the receipts are everywhere

This should be enough to trigger the investigation of the Bannon / Epstein connections to Brexit and of course emails exist verifying those connections already
