“Augustus came to power after the murder of Julius Caesar and destroyed the balance of power with a series of sweeping constitutional rewrites. Gibbon's main point about monarchy is, when you put one person in charge, the entire world is just a prison for their enemies.” tinyurl.com/ycxbykfy

The Rosette Nebula, looking like an old-fashioned donut, with hints of copper at the edges of the brown appearing gas cloud, with a star cluster in the “hole” in the center.

The Rosette Nebula is an emission nebula in one part of the constellation Monoceros (the Unicorn), which lies east of Orion. The star cluster in the center (or “donut hole”) is a star-forming region. This was the result of an hour of imaging last night with my Dwarf 3 #astronomy #astrophotography

It’s so funny, there’s a long social media tradition going back 25 years of making a big deal about how you were going to quit, and then only being gone for like half a day.

Your Daily Affirmation:

The chill of the day sharpens my focus. I am on task, getting work done, handling details, basically anything so I don't have to go out in the friggin cold. Focusing on waffles to start.

My website was due for an update (she’s freelancing again folks) and then I decided it needed a dose of fun so check out my mantra generator as we ease into 2025:

My dog does not like this parody of the classic Bring It On anthem that I'm singing to her:

🎶 I said BRRR! It's cold out here! There must be some doggos in the ATmosphere! 🎶

New quilt! All made of home-dyed cyanotypes, with plants I collected.

It’s been about 2 years in the making, and I’m so pleased with how it’s coming out.

A crab being held up so you can see its ventral side. It has red spots on its white carapace, with reddish legs and claws, the claws have black tips. In the background you can see tidepools and the ocean.

A crab, photo taken looking down on its dorsal surface. Its carapace is reddish with many short spines along the edge from the widest point up to its eyes. It has long antennae.

We're bringing the 25 Days of #Crustmas to Bluesky! For the next 25 days, let's celebrate all creatures crustacean, & hope Santa brings us what we all desire... carcinization. To start off, here's a classic, the Pacific Rock Crab, distinguished from the Red Rock Crab by its red-spotted stomach. 🦀

Next time you need a dinner idea, may I suggest cooking a pan of veggies and cheese and doling it out between pre-made puff pastry 🍽️

Found a HBH cheddar broccoli recipe for last night’s din but I’m already dreaming of other ingredients to stuff in pastry.

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

Buddy I love echo chambers. You ever meow back at a cat?
