It's been a while since my last post. I was in Newfoundland last month. I thought it would be nice to share some interesting pictures with you all. Go if you can.
I'll try to upload something I have been working on soon.

Amazing set from Swell Maps C21 last night. Only Jowe Head from the original line-up, always a pleasure to see @davidlancecallahan.bsky.social who brings some of the anger of his other band Wolfhounds. Would be great to see Luke Haines with them, he's at the Hare later this year with Peter Buck.

Obviously not.
It's about the Milky Way (left) and an auroral oval (right), captured by Göran Strand (astrofotografen.se) in Oct 2022 across a little lake in Abisko, Sweden.

This image from #JWST provides a wealth of information about Arp 107, a pair of interacting galaxies caught in the early stages of a merger.
It's therefore an extraordinary window into the interaction between 2 galaxies,

Are there stars in your eyes?
No!
This is a 27-frame mosaic taken from Ojas de Salar, Atacama Desert.
The eye is actually a small lagoon captured reflecting the night sky as the Milky Way arched overhead.

So much love for @dcmediagroup.bsky.social. Please give them a follow. Collab’ed with them for this report on the Thursday, Feb 13th Drag and Trans rights protest in front of the Kennedy Center.
The Drag and Trans community put on a street show of resistance in front of the Kennedy Center arts center in response to Trump’s Trans Community erasure policies and his takeover of the Kennedy Center Board.

I had a dream the other night that I performed in the same festival as John Cale. Actually I was more a coordinator than a performer in the dream, and I lost my own gear at the end, but not before talking with Cale. I don’t remember what we talked about.

I was at a doctor’s office sitting in the waiting area, and overheard a phone conversation another patient was having. Referring to the facility as “NYJew”, I shot them a glance. Our eyes met but there was nobody home. No surprise, as banal racism is a mindless activity.
