It did by us. Just a little, but I am still grateful. Hope you had buckets, hope @allanrose.bsky.social did…hope all the desert land, creatures & plantlife had some relief today.

Rarely on social media. News & injustices so overwhelming. But our desert seems to fortify. Even in this heat.

No rain for us (except for a sprinkle) but happy other parts of Tucson did get the monsoon offering yesterday. Wondering if I should water the saguaros & ocotillos…

I can’t love this but must acknowledge. Must keep making our voices heard, & work relentlessly in 2026.

When my grandson (he’s 4) visits, I plan to take him to Flandrau & the planetarium. Maybe someday you will produce a Weird Universe show (& children’s activity book?) for future generations of astrophysicists! 💙🔭🪐💙

Haha, but I am. I’ve been off social media nearly a week but stopped on it today. So much miserable “news.” But we’ll keep at it.

I also donate as I can, demonstrate with Indivisible Tucson as I can, volunteer, attend LD meetings. I am not “boasting,” just trying to figure out what to do to protect democracy (& humanity).
