From my house in the suburbs. There is a lot of light pollution here and can actually see the reds with naked eye. Saw better last year in October, but had to drive 35-40 min out to the country.

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture.

Despite the Speaker's encouragement to hurry back to end the shutdown, members of the House who helped create the shutdown are having difficulty getting back to DC because of flight cancellations caused by the shutdown.

Something I do wish non-historians would internalise is that (modern) historians are not (generally) just making shit up. We do in fact have sources and evidence and proof of things which have happened in the past

Imo 'school readiness' is a ridiculous concept especially now that so many of the early learning goals (the measure they use) are not developmentally appropriate. Honestly you should see the self-regulation goals because quite a lot of *adults* wouldn't meet them.
