Amateur. I have at least 90 open right now in my PHONE's browser. Not sure I can count how many are open on the desktop. 😆

Forbidden Planet (1956): Altair IV, backdrop

The nice thing is this backdrop is still hanging out at the former MGM Scenic Arts Department. (At least, it was until a few years ago, and probably still is.)

The boot-shaped Rubin Observatory stands beneath a star-filled night sky. The Andromeda Galaxy is an extended disk glowing to the left of the dome above the dark mountain ridge.

When your neighbor comes for a photo op✨

This image shows NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory & Andromeda, our nearest large galactic neighbor — and one of the most distant naked-eye objects at 2.5M light years away.

That's "cosmic neighbor" in a nutshell: close by, yet wildly far! 🔭🧪

I've been thinking about getting off my butt and trying to learn Spanish. Had two years in high school but that was almost 50 years ago. 🤔 Maybe I should dust off my Duolingo account and join you :)

If you play specific games, try searching for them (or anything else really) by #nameofthing in the search box, top right (on a desktop computer. Not sure about locations on mobile.) I see someone else told you how to pin feeds, so I will shut up now. Welcome!!

Hey #quiltsky Any of y'all close to Middle Tennessee (US) or willing to drive, here's a quilt show nearby for a couple of more weeks.

Thanks for sharing! Love seeing things like this.. even if they make my brain think about making them into quilts. :)

Black cat looking up at the camera. There are several small kittens sleeping in front of her. Caption says What the heck am I supposed to do with these?  I requested minions of darkness and you send fluffy jellybeans.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

Appreciate the video since I couldn't be there myself. (I live on the other side of the US.)

Basting looks great, you have nice crisp corners.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vf0... has some great tips for EPP. It helped me! :) Happy sewing/quilting!

That IS so cool! Very fond of dragons myself. I occasionally manage to take myself off to a good sized yearly science fiction convention called DragonCon. Oddly enough, it's maybe 1% dragons and 99% assorted geeky things. Pretty much something for everybody. Lots of fun. :)

Norse fairy tales are awesome! I do love art, all kinds. I am humbled by your trust in sharing some of yours with me. (thank you!) I like it a lot, honestly. Sometimes I think we (creative maker types) are too hard on ourselves. 🫂
