We recently visited Kolob Canyons at Zion National Park. We realized it would be a great place for a Milky Way photo. We came back later that night and we did it! #astrophotography #astrosky #nightsky #milkyway #nightsky #kolobcanyon
it's really jarring to see how little media attention the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their dog Gilbert received in comparison to the notable death of a non-elected leader of a right-wing organization.
15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
On 21 September 1937: J.R.R. #Tolkien's The Hobbit was published.
The book tells of a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, and his journey with thirteen dwarves to recover their treasure from a dragon, Smaug. It's sold over 100 million copies and is one of the best-selling books of all time. #BookSky
If someone asked me to give them only one chart that explained the background conditions that facilitated Trumpism, this is the one I'd pick.
@jennyowenyoungs.bsky.social I finally got to listen to the recent Reptile Boy Coverage, and I just want to say I enjoyed every second of the music break down at the end, including the Bluey bit. <3
Thanks. So far we’ve found the Scots really friendly.
Thank you! Great advice! I think what I mean is called a waistcoat then?
Do you have any spot you think I should look out for?
I’m in Scotland for the next two weeks! I am thinking of buying a tweed jacket or vest while we are here. Should I try to buy it in Edinburgh or wait and get it in skye or inverness or somewhere else?
A clip from our show yesterday, Remember Old Friends. Thanks to Kay for taking the video!
All, if you haven't seen it already: HHS has canceled funding for the Moderna bird flu vaccine.
Please call your reps.
That’s a wild mix of science and …creativity there. 🧐
I have several girlfriends that I know (or at least know better) due to them dating my exes after I did. I think this is an unusual thing… but it’s great evidence for why being friends with your ex can be great. If they were into you they probably have good taste in women.
With everyone focused on whether Trump will fire Pete Hegseth
And the death of Pope Francis
The Dow is down about ANOTHER 1200 points-with the dollar at a 3 year low
And Kilmar Abrego Garcia languishes in El Salvador as his allies fight for due process
What a debacle this administration has been
The coolest thing I've ever made was a music video where I sang a filk of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" over footage from Sweeney Todd, Little Shop of Horrors, and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. All three stories have the same message: you can't make a deal with the devil, because he cheats.
Ooh! I had never thought of that! I've taught that film a few times in my film class and never caught it!
Two headlines in the New York Times today.
It’s just a weird question, I don’t even know if they have Bluesky…
Wtf.
I am not. But I’ve been using their exiting product for awhile and really enjoy them and respect their company.
One of my fave Skin & Hair care brands — Bright Body — is crowdfunding a zero-waste, mineral SPF that works on all skin tones. They lost half of a grant for this project due to the attacks on DEI. — check it out here: www.ifundwomen.com/projects/1st...
Artistic pursuits while visiting the in-laws. Magpie, and inspiration photos. There are tons of magpies along the river here in Liberty lake, but they don’t sit still long enough for me to paint them.
It's been kinda hard to want to be online lately. It's all just a lot. But tomorrow is spring break, so that's good right?
Pretty sure that's illegal...
