In 1932, two newlyweds packed a folding kayak with:
• hard-boiled eggs
• chocolate
• strawberries
• two bottles of brandy
Then they pushed out into the Black Sea as refugees from the Soviet Union.

Congratulations. But just to be clear and to not overlook how much local investment has already gone into building world class facilities in Africa: you mean *more* possibilities for astronomy on the African continent right?
NO NO NO YOU DON’T

Only from American women. They give the rest of the planet's women all 24 hours. Makes you think.

Watercolour painting by Canadian artist, Jennifer Annesley, of a lit antique oil lamp lighting a log interior, next to a glass of white wine. In the background is a square 4-paned window looking out to a vista of a snow- covered mountain and deciduous trees. Colours range from firey yellow-orange & burnt sienna to cool blue and purple. Value range is complete, from pure white to pure black. Available at Canada House Gallery in Banff, Canada https://annesley.ca/availablechg
"Skoki Afternoon"(watercolour, 21 x 14") The entirely analog experience at Skoki Lodge is rustic, yes, but elegant & restorative in its simplicity. Antique oil lamps are the only light source in the 1930 ski-in lodge, creating a glowing interior that contrasts/augments the winter landscape. #art 🇨🇦
There have been MULTIPLE early leaks of scientific discoveries via DECORATED CAKE. Scientists are good at many things, but shutting up is definitely not one of them.
It’s fish doorbell season!
A Dutch lock is closed for the spring, and its employees want you to tell them when migrating fish come knocking by ringing a digital doorbell
@geocycle.bsky.social The material impact you’ve had on me… 🤣
A grey and orange bike leans against folded seats in a train waiting at the station. An orange backpack leans against the front wheel. The bike: a Trek 1120 with luggage racks for bike camping, and the backpack: a Mystery Ranch/Carryology Unicorn 2.0, are totally dope.
First commute by bike to Onsala of the year!

“The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot…It had not been seen by anyone in likely more than a century.”
Good morning from Finnish Lapland 🇫🇮 at Santa Claus Village, the northernmost stop on the FlixBus European network 🚌
Over the next 100+ hours, I’ll be travelling exclusively with FlixBus all the way to Lisbon 🇵🇹 which is the longest journey you can book as a single ticket with them!

We should have canceled him a generation ago for being bad at statistics. How can you trust an economist who is that bad at interpreting information?
Fuck Larry Summers and his misogyny. Who is surprised? He’s been boasting about it for more than 20 years! www.pbs.org/newshour/sci... @harvard.edu
The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

Replays of that superb pass from Taylor Heise and the goal from Megan Keller
Two Bluesky posts. The first is a headline from the Colorado Sun that says “An old land dispute in the San Luis Valley pits the privacy of a billionaire's new home against grazing sheep” and the second from Effin’ Birds that says “What a fuckwit”.
Enjoying the serendipity of the timeline.
I’m biased bc I used to do a little fieldwork for the forest service in Yosemite, but they’re all neat. I had no idea they would do custom orders, though — it’s such a great idea for swag!

Those are SO COOL! 😍
I would be biased for Yosemite too. :) My family used to go there every year to go skiing at Badger Pass. 🎿
As a Buffs fan, I absolutely love this idea, and look how great they are!
And if you didn’t know, but are a fan of the US National Parks, Buffs has an equally cool looking parks collection with unique designs for the big favorites.
Ooo! That’s great to know. I will make sure to keep an eye out for them. Thanks for the heads up!
The Buff neck warmer/head cover on its packaging.
One side of the Buff featuring three radio telescopes in yellow that represent the OSO 25 m, and the Osaka twin telescopes. Above the telescopes is some geometric stylised northern lights, and in the foreground is an inlet from the sea and the rocky coastline. The landscape is shades of blue.
A side of the Buff featuring the ray dome, in yellow, that houses the Onsala 20 m. There is some aurora and stars above the dome and pine trees on the horizon, and two deer subtly in the foreground. The landscape is in blue.
We got custom Buffs made for the Sweden SKA Science Days and other sweSRC and Nordic ARC node events this year, inspired by the telescopes and landscape of Onsala Space Observatory. The anticipation has been intense, but they turned out so well! 🤩 🔭 📡
