The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, Chile, recently released its first images of the cosmos/deep space. Vera Rubin (1928-2016) was a pioneering US astronomer whose work provided convincing evidence for the existence of unseen "dark" matter in the Universe #WomensArt

#PNWNativeGardening/BackyardHabitat #NativePlants The redtwig dogwood has exploded this year! Flowers, then fruit everywhere. I literally just stuck 3 twigs in the ground a few years ago and this is what happened. It has been a spectacular spring. 🌱

Today at a Pride church planning meeting I said, “At the end, I really just want to give everyone queer a candy bar and not give any straight people a candy bar.”

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

Lander is saying the most basic, correct things—“Do you have a judicial warrant? … I will let go when you show me a judicial warrant … you don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens. I am not obstructing”—and yet or maybe because of this he is detained, too.
Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The faith of new converts is a balm to the soul of battle weary parish priests. I sit at their feet and just drink, drink, drink.

The intense longings of a single mother of a toddler: I just want to see a movie. In a movie theater. Where it is cold. And there are snacks. And my phone is off. And I watch a movie and think about the movie.

Because we should all be acting like new folks experiencing us is the NORM and we SHOULD explain the incredibly mysterious shit we do
