My first sci fi novel was Elizabeth Moon's Remnant Population and I was immediately hooked on the genre and I am 99% certain if I'd started with some mid 20th century classic with its midcentury gender norms I would not have become a big big sci fi reader.

GODDAMMIT I was just rhetorically asking the air in my office it this jawn was using my photos that way.

Stephen Miller is what happens when liberals scold people for punching nazis

I wish I could make a lot of money, like Klein, basically making fart sounds.

Above a pond in cold weather, in an arid New Mexico setting, two adult sandhill cranes are flying close to the water surface in the left lower corner of the frame, while three younger birds scrabble across the ice in takeoff behind them. The birds are moving from right to left in the image.

In Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, a family of sandhill cranes achieves liftoff early in the morning as they commute from their overnight location to their daytime location. #photography #wildlife

A dark brown-gray burro jenny stands in the lower-center of the frame, with her young foal alongside her and a yearling farther to her left. It is a foggy day, the grass is brown, and a hillside of cream-colored boulders rises behind the burros.

A chestnut horse is standing with his body facing right to left in the frame but he has turned his head and neck such that he is looking back over his left shoulder. He is in a setting of brown dune grasses, with a light blue sky above.

Criticizing the enlightened centrist isn’t kicking them out of the so-called tent, it is presenting them with an opportunity to stop eroding the integrity of the tent by tirelessly trying to find commonality with people who want to burn the tent down.

"This does not bring glory to my house"

Against a backdrop of grassy hills and badlands formations, a chestnut mare with a wide blaze walks from right to left in the frame in a relaxed manner. There is a light blue and cloudy sky above her.

The Theodore Roosevelt National Park mare Pretty Girl is, in fact, a pretty girl.

In an arid-grassy landscape with mountains in the far background, three stallions are shown - there is a bay horse talking from right to left, and behind him two chestnut stallions are nose-to-nose. They all have relatively cheerful expressions.

Just watched "if the stars had a sound" last night, what a super super film

I can't remember who I read that described him as looking like "a boiled catcher's mitt"

In a verdant green setting, there is a treeline of oak and pine trees in the background while three white-gray mares in the foreground stand next to a curve in a river.

In the Ozark National Scenic Riverways in the Missouri Ozarks, these wild mares are spending time together along the Current River.

Looking up towards a ridge of prairie grass, with a somewhat stormy sky, a gray stallion with a black mane and tail is walking while looking towards the camera.

They cannot possibly ever get the smell out!

In the TNG S7E19 ep "Genesis" we learn that Spot sometimes roams around the ship and that there are several un-neutered tomcats who are possible dads to Spot's kittens who are also roaming around the ship. I can't ever stop thinking about all that carpet, and all that tomcat piss.

"A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works."

This is SLAYING me

Five wild horses have crossed a dirt road in a sagebrush-grass setting, with a low mountain ridge in the far background, and a pink-orange sunrise sky. The horses are bachelor stallions, and range in color from dark gray to palomino to red roan. They are trotting along happily and looking at the camera.

I find it a challenge to live laugh love & regularly share my photos in this political climate but try to remind myself that this is the stuff we're in it for. These silly bachelor stallions made my day, popping along in the Salt Wells Creek HMA one morning at sunrise.

A white Aida cloth is folded on two sides. A cross-stitch pattern extends from the top left corner to create an almost solid mass of browns and reds. The project is sitting on a butcher block style table top.

Hey. If you don't want the candy corn I'll take it off your hands.

Our ship is the Mondor. It is broken. We are far from home. We need help.

Two decrepit brown couches are sitting on a city sidewalk; the end of the bottom couch has “J.D. VANCE” written on it in large letters in black marker, a reference to the vice president’s reputation as a couch fucker, as though summoning him to this opportunity

Stipulating that as Drexel University’s sustainability person I really wish we could get our students to stop abandoning furniture on neighborhood sidewalks at apartment move out time,

Can somebody get Chuck S up to speed please.

It's amazing to me because pets turned into pets at least in part by learning to eating humans' actual garbage. I know a number of dogs who would thrive and be joyous on a diet of other animals' shit, because....dogs.
