It's Official: NASA Is Giving Up on Climate Change Science In a major blow to climate science, NASA is not continuing its work studying global warming and will instead just stick to space exploration.

Gonna focus on terraforming Mars rather than not venusifying Earth.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have revealed a synthetic glycosystem -a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle- that can BLOCK SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cells, REDUCING infection rates by NEARLY 99%. Acting as a decoy, the molecule BINDS to the spike protein, PREVENTING it from attaching to real cells.

Posted some thoughts on film and digital photography on IG today. A small gallery of both. 📷

The bottom of the photo is water from the reservoir. A streak of reflected sunlight bisects the water. An outline of The Catskills rise up from the opposite shore. The sun is setting behind them and the sky is partly cloudy.

Okay, but there is no actual rule against neurons 🧠 making music, is there?

ONE. DAY.

They killed Breonna Taylor in her own home, lied on a warrant, and now they want one day like it’s a parking ticket.

This isn’t justice

it’s a damn insult.

Rep La Monica is currently facing a longer federal charge for checking the conditions of an immigration camp than the DOJ has recommended for Breonna Taylor

A pink folder with a stamp on it featuring Marlys that says “Dang! Thanks, Man”, a striped bag that says fresh roasted peanuts and contained a small purple Pegasus toy and an EXTREMELY small duck toy, as well as a note indicating that the charitable donation is to World Central Kitchen

A bonus sticker sheet with magical cute unicorn, llama, kitty, sloth and similar animals on it in a “Lisa Frank-esque” style

A six-by-6 square of rice paper with a drawing of two grey and cream cats — one crouched and staring at the viewer, the other coyly peeking over the crouched one’s shoulder, on a field of polka dots

I ordered a little piece of art from Lynda Barry’s Instagram (she donates the money to a charity) and it is SO CUTE and it came with stickers and toys 😭😭😭

“Where the Thunder Weeps” is a watercolor painting steeped in atmosphere and tension. Deep indigos and layered grays bleed into one another to form a sky swollen with rain, with a jagged flash of lightning tearing through its center. The vertical streaks of rain descend like sorrow from the heavens, giving the impression that the storm itself is grieving. This piece captures not just weather, but the emotion of heaviness — as if the sky, overwhelmed, has no choice but to release its burden. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx

a haunting aquarelle that captures the weight of a sky ready to break. The silence before the downpour, the ache in the clouds.

I wish photos had ability to transmit scent. Somehow the rain only enhanced the perfume of this rose. #yellow #rose #flower #photography #macro #summer

Arcadia Publishing, who published my two books, just sent me an email offering me money to give up my work to an AI company. No information about the company or how my work will be used. Just a one-time flat fee and some vague, not legally binding promises. I can only opt out one of my books.

Zena is photographed from the shoulders up against a grey background in portrait style. She is wearing a blue jacket with a white check pattern, has a pair of dangly earrings, and wears glasses. Her hair is short and curly. She is smiling broadly.

On today’s #PeoplingPodcast, we are joined by @zenakamash.bsky.social to discuss her work with Iraqi communities and how she uses craftwork to bring the public together with cultural heritage and to foster wellbeing: peoplingthepast.com/2025/07/08/p...

One thing you can do Right Now is be extremely vocal when you have librarians stocking inclusive collections. Call and tell them how happy you are, show up to board meetings. Bc the other side is *always* complaining and doing it in an organized way.

also you can donate to Lavonnia Moore here:

Everyday painkiller made from plastic — by E. coli Study highlights potential for sustainable synthesis of paracetamol.

In Utah they passed a bill banning books from the entire state that also stipulated that the books selected for removal also could not be redistributed or donated-- they HAD to be destroyed.

So. 6 weeks is probably about right.

An oil painting by John Rogers Cox (American, 1915-1990) titled "Gray and Gold" (1942) in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. The painting's upper half is a mountain range of gray clouds, possibly indicating a storm approaching. In the bottom half are precisely manicured wheat fields, separated by a dirt road, and in the center, telephone poles receding into the distance. In the foreground are low wire fences with additional crops in green.

Today's artist new to me, with a stunner of a painting
