Reasons #17,654–17,661 that I love riding transit: I can chill/vibe and not have to focus on driving safely, I don't have to deal with asshole drivers, I can people-watch and city-watch, I can read, I can close my eyes.

Coach 8139, adorned in of the coolest wraps Metro has commissioned, is operating the 1 Line shuttle service today with a message that's just as important now as when it came out in 2021!

One week from today, I'll be flying to the South Pacific to help sail this boat to Hawaii. (I'm literally in this picture!) ⛵

Holocaust was legal, hiding Jews was not.

Slavery was legal; freeing slaves was not.

Segregation was legal; fighting for equality got you killed.

Being a wealthy child molester is legal; abortions is not.

Laws are not a guide for human decency and morality.

I could go on; I have many others, which I put in the book. So invite me to speak to your #palliativecare group. Not that there's many doctors here, but still.
Or this one: a monolingual Anglophone nurse hears a patient speaking unintelligibly, assume it's delirium, until an L2 English speaking nurse recognises the language. The dying person isn't babbling; they've reverted to a mother tongue at the end of life.

Astronomer friends (@niais.bsky.social @aussiastronomer.bsky.social , others?): I will be in a southern hemisphere dark sky location in mid-/late-October: maps.app.goo.gl/MwptS4v8ZbVt...

Besides the obvious (Crux, Milky Way, Sirius, LMC, Mercury greatest elongation), what should I look for?

I still have a work account over on the other/bad/X place. It is SO toxic. ☹️

Spouse and I got our covid booster yesterday... 👍

Today I feel like I got run over by a bus. 😩

That means it's working. 👍
