A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better…
-For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return.
-Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

They have been very vocal here in west central Florida. I'll take care of them for you here until they return to you.

Multiple stars and the planet Jupiter on the night of the November 1st 2024 new moon.

At my advanced age, I have been bitten by the night sky photography bug and the camping bug at the same time. My first capture attempt from a week ago at the Kissimmee Prairie Preserve, a dark-sky preserve here in FL, on the night of the new moon. Not the greatest, but I'm constantly learning.

Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park. One of my happy places. May she remain forever a place of beauty and not sold out to be another ugly ass development. I have less confidence about that these days.
