Prioritizing hard science over anthropology won’t actually get us too far. We need both.

Also, you seem to be a jerk.
Maybe being a jerk is causing harm to people around you.

An etched glass block featuring the biblical badass Judith, set in a gold bowl with two candles on top.

Happy first night of Chanukah!

(I’ll be working on the candle cup sitch tomorrow 😂)

Saguaro cactus with both living green areas and dead brown parts. There are holes throughout the cactus. The inside, open to the world, looks like dry bark.

I need to get back to this with my good camera.
That’s on the list.

Black and white image of Judith, her foot on the decapitated head that used to belong to Holofernes. Lions are at her feet. The tree of life is behind her.

My Judith:

AI created image of a lawn inflatable featuring Judith holding a bloody blade over Holofernes.

This is what started it.
I’m sure my new Judith menorah design didn’t help.

I can sign up for these lifestyle choices.

There is a world in which I run a feminist Jewish podcast about Yael and friends with an associated line of lawn inflatables.

Having a plan really helps.
I’ve saved a lot of money by changing to grocery pick ups because it’s much easier for me to stick with the list and not be tempted by other things.

I’m all up for fun and new exciting foods, but if I don’t plan for them they will just go bad in the fridge.

I love the onion

The presentation will be free and on YouTube, so maybe it will help. I’m going to try to keep it short because a long presentation for people with ADHD is a bad idea. 😂

Honestly, I think you make choices and maybe it can work out in the end.

Rather than ditching the disposables, maybe choose the best disposable option for the environment and then take on another environment-directed mitzvah.

But I’m adding this to my meal-planning presentation I’m creating. 😊

Followed.
And one day you’ll get a pitch from me…

I remember the Berlin Wall coming down, but mainly because my father through a fit that it “wasn’t on the syllabus” so I wasn’t learning about it in school.

A bee lunches, head down, in a while blossom. The wings are in focus and the body is blurred, but you can see that this bee has made quite a mess of lunch!

Eat Happy!

I have a weird goateed twin story, actually.

My husband looks a lot like the bassist from System of a Down.

We found out when he was “recognized” at work.

That’s very cool

Absolutely

Oh I’m just putzing around over here myself. But there are some photographers taking stunning pictures. 😊

@thesheepcat.bsky.social !!! Green bee!

Welcome to the floral feed! 😂

The world is crazy.
I bloomscroll.

This is how photography is my meditation and gratitude practice. 😊

That’s stunning

I posted a monarch today too! bsky.app/profile/bloo...

Wow! That’s really something.

Beautiful shots!

Lovely shot!

Macro shot of a Monarch butterfly wing, its black and white polka dots in a downward angle across the screen. Tiny pixelated wing scales can be seen. The sun is coming through the honey-colored wing, making it glow.

This was last year at the Phoenix Botanical Gardens.

Me too! My blood pressure is much lower all of a sudden 😂

Gorgeous pic!

I would have some fun with that in editing. Lovely colors.
