@cafenowhere.bsky.social and I went out last night to see the auroras and I captured this one second loop of them. Streaks of red are in the background and a ribbon of green dances in front. The auroras are framed by dark trees on the left and bottom of the video.

Predator: Badlands doesn’t just skewer toxic masculinity, it also offers a different model for masculinity and strength. And it mocks the notion of rugged individualism in favor of diverse community. It does so without being pretentious or forgetting why this has become a beloved franchise.
FYI: Dan Trachtenberg's new film deepens the Yautja lore as well as the franchise's themes. With PREDATOR: BADLANDS, he's three for three.

Oh Hai 👋🏿
If I can keep these gig contracts steady, the last 15% of this campaign (that I started in October 2022) will go to the bigger ticket items that I still need like neonate appropriate pulse oximeters, for ex., and my licensure exam fees.
This is what I came for.

I’m very pleased that the campaigns for which I wrote postcards to voters triumphed yesterday. It’s invigorating to have a part, however small, in big change. And I just mailed out more cards for a special election in December!
