To be fair to myself... Although I missed the spectacular May 2024 aurora AND last nights AND it's fully cloudy here tonight...

I DID get a glimpse of an event in October 2024...

...faint tinge to the naked eye but I got some pictures so I will share those and stop whining :-P

I feel like this is speaking to me RIGHT NOW as a burnt out department chair prepping for my Astro101 class...

Title: We can either Teach Astronomy or do Corvee Work. Translation of text: To the king, our lord: your servants, the scribes of Kilizi. Good health to the king, our lord! May Nabu and Marduk bless the king! We watched the moon; on the 14th day the moon and sun saw each other. (This means) well-being. May Nabu and Marduk bless the king. Because of the ilku-duty and the corvee work we cannot keep the watch of the king, and the pupils do not learn the scribal craft.

MY MOTHER IS NOTHING IF NOT PERSISTENT!
The single sock that finally arrived in the mail, with a sticky note saying, "All clean! Love, Mom xxxooo"

Decided to delete old posts. But not before archiving them.

That was a weird time...
Screenshot of this account's first skeets from May 4, 2023: Hi, all. Don't know why it wouldn't take "noisy astronomer" (character limit?) but I promise, it's me. And it's also the last week of the semester so I'll be erratic for a bit! I feel like it's appropriate to start with a dog post. Here's Macey, sleeping on Luna (with a picture of a closeup of two dog faces, a brown one laying on top of a black one) A few minutes in... discovering this place to be fucking weird in a good way, definitely vibes of early twitter. Hello fellow weirdos!

I left a single sock behind at my mother's house during my last visit. Here is what ensued...
Mom: Did your sock get back to you that I mailed?? Me: Lol i can't believe you actually mailed it. No, Not yet! Mom: I did (laughing cry emoji) Several days later... Mom: Your sock was returned due to heightened security concerns (several laughing cry emojis) Mom: I washed it (laughing cry emoji)
