Bathroom demolition continues slow but steady. A number of surprises, but nothing we can’t adapt to or use brute force, gaffers tape and museum putty to get around.

Working away on this #deepsea carnivorous sponge, crinoid and brittle star painting. It’s getting there, probably 75% done now, adding all the details and rainbow colors is my fav part! #deepseacreatures #coldwatersponges 🐡🦑 #invertebrates #acrylicpainting #marinebiology #art #painting #artist

Raspberries continue to provide!!! Even after snacking I may be able to get enough ripe berries over next 2-3 days to make one last (small) batch of jam!

What the actual f**k????!!!!
I mean we regularly train lots of allied pilots and other military positions… but not give them a mini-base (is 1000 personnel and fighters “mini”) within our military facilities!

Absolute hero… we are fully into WWII era fascism - echoes of Anne Frank, Ulmas family, Veseli’s, Le Chambon-sur-Lignon - so many individuals and communities who sheltered Jewish people, often at extreme risk (many were caught and executed along with the people they tried to protect) I weep, I rage!

The oceans just hit an ominous milestone.

A new report sounds the alarm on ocean acidification as Earth breaches the seventh of nine "planetary boundaries.

Me in 2023: Just chill. All the AI doom scenarios involve giving models direct access to and control over real world systems, and no one would be that dumb

In 2025: oh fuck

I credit flying a lot as a kid - looking out the window with my strength in looking at satellite data and topographic maps and being able to spot things others can’t, or seeing the landforms and weathering patterns. Still do it on every flight!

Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out!

One of my favorite Folk songs that Johann does… a Scott’s Gaelic ballad/lullaby usually heard on bag pipes… it’s also been performed as a lament at funerals/remembrances for Queens, Prime Ministers & Presidents. #folkmusic #gaelic #Scotland
