I went to university with, "Big Ass Rose."

I just called her "Rose."

What a delight

Thanks for posting on Bluesky, KUER. I wish that I had better income to helping with public media shortfalls.

Your local reporting, makes me a better person.

Thank you,

Utah will keep its valuable national parks open during the government shutdown Utah is stepping in to keep parks open while Congress hashes out the funding gap. Local businesses say that support has been a lifeline during a tricky year for park visitation.

Utah says park services like bathrooms, shuttles, water and emergency services will still be operational.

Extraordinary!

My photo shows a polychrome mosaic depicting Mediterranean marine life using earthy-coloured tesserae (mosaic tiles) against a black tessarae background. At the centre of the mosaic is a pale-coloured octopus composed of off-white and light brown tesserae with some of its writhing tentacles wrapped around the body of a lobster composed of light red, and pinky-brown tesserae. The octopus has an egg shaped body/head and it stares at the viewer with large eyes made of brown and pink circles with black centres. The octopus and lobster are surrounded by various species of large and small Mediterranean fish and a mollusc, including an eel and a flat fish. On the left hand side of the scene there is a small kingfisher bird on top of a rock. Some of the fish appear to be watching the fight between the octopus and the lobster This mosaic comes from the House of the Geometric Mosaics in Pompeii. Now on display at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples.

Spectacular googly-eyed octopus does battle with a lobster in this 2,000 year-old Roman mosaic from Pompeii! 🐙 🦞

Fantastic fishy onlookers too! 👀

Don't let it hit your eye.

A tricky bastard that moon.

Very similar to pizza pie.

The hot oily cheese, is the real danger - from the pizza too.

Humpies!

Originally this 2006 program was filmed on an analog 8mm, to VHS, then to a thumb drive. The video & audio quality is poor, especially at the start of the filming.

I presented "The Keepers of Time" with versions at Capitol Reef, Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree & Canyonlands National Parks, US. 2006-2024

Minimize the news input, since I think there's a kind of habit or compulsion to overdo all of the talking.

I do hope that many who use big commercial platforms for news & entertainment, consider moving over to the non-prof institutions.

Distorted image of a crossword puzzle, as a mean comparison to Memes that are all capitalized letters.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!

I don't know this says, but it must be terribly important, since it's all CAPS. Maybe it's a sensory processing issue, with my autism, along with dyslexia.

Can neurotypicals actually read this?

Folk seem less credible with all-caps. State the facts reasonably and convincingly. NO YELLING!
