We recently visited Kolob Canyons at Zion National Park. We realized it would be a great place for a Milky Way photo. We came back later that night and we did it! #astrophotography #astrosky #nightsky #milkyway #nightsky #kolobcanyon

it's really jarring to see how little media attention the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their dog Gilbert received in comparison to the notable death of a non-elected leader of a right-wing organization.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

On 21 September 1937: J.R.R. #Tolkien's The Hobbit was published.
The book tells of a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, and his journey with thirteen dwarves to recover their treasure from a dragon, Smaug. It's sold over 100 million copies and is one of the best-selling books of all time. #BookSky

@jennyowenyoungs.bsky.social I finally got to listen to the recent Reptile Boy Coverage, and I just want to say I enjoyed every second of the music break down at the end, including the Bluey bit. <3

I’m in Scotland for the next two weeks! I am thinking of buying a tweed jacket or vest while we are here. Should I try to buy it in Edinburgh or wait and get it in skye or inverness or somewhere else?

HHS cancels funding for Moderna to develop vaccines to combat bird flu
The department cited Moderna’s use of the messenger RNA technology, which it said “remains under-tested,” for the cancellation of the funding.

I have several girlfriends that I know (or at least know better) due to them dating my exes after I did. I think this is an unusual thing… but it’s great evidence for why being friends with your ex can be great. If they were into you they probably have good taste in women.

Bodega cats aren't just cute; some in N.Y. also consider them working animals
Kitty lovers started a petition to reclassify cats as necessary to tackle rodents at New York City bodegas.

The coolest thing I've ever made was a music video where I sang a filk of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" over footage from Sweeney Todd, Little Shop of Horrors, and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. All three stories have the same message: you can't make a deal with the devil, because he cheats.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.
One of my fave Skin & Hair care brands — Bright Body — is crowdfunding a zero-waste, mineral SPF that works on all skin tones. They lost half of a grant for this project due to the attacks on DEI. — check it out here: www.ifundwomen.com/projects/1st...

Artistic pursuits while visiting the in-laws. Magpie, and inspiration photos. There are tons of magpies along the river here in Liberty lake, but they don’t sit still long enough for me to paint them.

Watch Vance and Trump’s behavior with Zelensky.
If that’s how they treat a world leader while being filmed, imagine how they treat their wives and children in private.
