Thor's Helmet, taken from my balcony

Thor’s Helmet (NGC 2359) is an emission nebula in the Canis Major region, visible only for a short period during the winter season. It also remains quite low on the horizon, right in the middle of the light-pollution belt. These are nearly 21 hours of integrated exposure. 🔭

Ancient forests aren't "resources"—they're living systems sustaining us all. Destroy them for short-term gain? That's planetary sabotage.
#Ecocide isn't abstract: it steals stable climate, clean air, future harvests from our children. Time to protect what remains. 🌳🛡️

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

reading this and crying because it was written in 1977 and we’re still struggling and still hated. and yet we’re also still here, still loving and helping each other.

Surreal moon stunner.

Looking out toward the sunrise, the side glare of the moon pulled me in her direction. Her beams, her glow, the colors in the clouds!

And yet, the moon is the reflection of the sun’s mighty light. Sometimes, they pass wonder from one to another and we get to be witnesses.

Absolutely, flabbergastingly insane.

The fragile insecure flower is crying again.

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.

Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

Stop the Trumpstein war, prosecute the Trumpstein oligarchs.

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."

Yellow and orange sunrise. A building with a white steeple in front of the sunrise. Two naked trees in the foreground.

I took this picture 6yrs ago today. I was walking to the train and caught this sunrise over my town hall in suburban NJ.

It also happened to be the last day I would commute into the city, as I decided to stop coming in bc of covid.

WHO declared covid a pandemic the next day, March 11.

Happy Tuesday! We had another quiet sunrise but the balance between the cloud lines, the sun, and the horizon worked very nicely; and then the even waves up to the shore provided a nice supporting foundation. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

If you still condone this administration, you're a special kind of stupid. We bombed a school filled with young girls. Gas just jumped 40 cents. Not to mention the cost of American lives. I'm beginning to think Bibi is Bubba. What's a few more trillion?

The US Is Counting Traffic Deaths Wrong By emphasizing the number of people killed per mile rather than deaths per capita, traffic safety groups risk normalizing the factors that make American roads so deadly.

"Yes, building less dangerous cars and more forgiving roads would help address the US’s sky-high tally of roadway fatalities. But another way to save lives deserves far more attention than it gets: Stop forcing Americans to drive so much." @davidzipper.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

A ”perfect storm” with skyrocketing oil prices, reduced availability of more expensive fertilizers, and no help from migrant workers are hitting American farmers as planting and seed time approaches.
