Just a reminder, cuz it seems one is needed, if you're 35 today and Indigenous, you're old enough to have attended residential school in Canada. #indigenoushistorymonth

This Webb image of the “Pillars of Creation” has layers of semi-opaque, rusty red gas and dust that start at the bottom left and go toward the top right. There are three prominent pillars rising toward the top right. The left pillar is the largest and widest. The peaks of the second and third pillars are set off in darker shades of brown and have red outlines. Peeking through the layers of gas and dust is the background, set in shades of blue and littered with tiny yellow and blue stars. Many of the tips of the pillars appear tinged with what looks like lava. There are also tiny red dots at the edges of the pillars, which are newly born stars.

pictures like this make me believe in magic

What the hell...Felons performing police duties. We can't get any lower. How disgraceful !

Oh, how I miss the Night-blooming jessamine (Cestrum nocturnum).

I’m yet to go to an academic event in Wales where Welsh cakes were not offered. We need a similar policy with shortbread in Scotland.

How did they make that touch of azure, mineral?

Contemporary photographs of dresses made from moiré silk often look dark and sombre but this mid #1860s example tells a different story. The watered effect here ripples in palest blue and is anything but dour #villarosemaine #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

JunoCam captured this image from very close to Jupiter, making Ganymede’s shadow appear especially large. At the time the raw image was taken, the Juno spacecraft was about 44,000 miles (71,000 kilometers) above Jupiter’s cloud tops and 15 times closer to the planet than Ganymede. An observer at Jupiter’s cloud tops within the oval shadow would experience a total eclipse of the Sun. Total eclipses are more common on Jupiter than Earth for several reasons: Jupiter has four major moons (Ganymede, Io, Callisto, and Europa) that often pass between Jupiter and the Sun, and since Jupiter’s moons orbit in a plane close to Jupiter’s orbital plane, the moon shadows are often cast upon the planet. Jupiter’s bands and clouds are visible, making stripes across the planet in various colors of white, orange, and blue on the poles.

if the budget cuts go through for nasa, we’re losing juno, which has given us these gorgeous images of jupiter over the years

It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

Sigh. Who makes these decisions? I’m not saying strict vetting is not necessary. I just have to wonder about the rationale. Seems oddly arbitrary and capricious.

More beauty of Kyiv for you.

I keep showing you these ordinary moments,
my favorite places.
I keep showing you that life is going on here.

It wouldn’t be hard to protect Medicaid and funding to rural hospitals and still reduce our nation’s ballooning debt and deficit. The Rs would just have to make the wealthy and corporations pay slightly more in taxes. (PS Rs are never serious about the debt and deficit when they are in power).

I wonder how Merrick Garland is doing these days, knowing he resisted prosecuting Trump because he didn't want to appear to weaponize the DOJ.

You know, as a young PhD student, I spent about two years barefoot. I didn't wear shoes unless I had to. It was in part a protest at the lack of reasonable shoes for women, but it was also an amazing way to understand the world under your feet.

Here- first teaser. Much more to come…

I would like the City of Winnipeg to waive transit fares & recreational user fees for the northern relatives who have been evacuated to the city.

Thank you,

Morning from Kyiv,
where a drone attack has lasted for more than 7 hours.

Luckily, I don't see any information about any damage or casualties.

I will make a warcoffee.
Life is going on.

Public pressure has helped to reopen shuttered weather data centers. To help keep this pressure building, meteorologists and climate scientists from across America want to fulfill our mission by sharing our science with you. It's live now. And tonight, it's my turn! Watch here: wclivestream.com

Arris pizza is good. Imos never had a chance.

Last year, Illinois abolished requiring prior authorization for inpatient mental health care — and now, we're extending it to outpatient care.

Patients and their doctors should be in control of decisions about their care, not insurance companies.
