Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Some oil paintings I’ve made of birds of prey.
Each took between one and two hours
I referenced taxidermy specimens live from my university’s science education center
Vulture is my fav

Oil painting of a vulture standing over bones (spine and horned animal skull)
Dark brown background
His expression is very pleasant and almost sheepish, as if he had been caught in the kitchen with a midnight snack.
He is incredibly handsome

Starting college tomorrow! Very excited. I really need to finish a paper by tomorrow though, so I gotta get on that grind.

Hoping to use this place to log my outfits, meals, and artwork :)

K bye

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

A six panel comic. In panel 1, a yellow warbler says "Hey, so I'm going to go out on a limb here". For the next four panels, it hops down along a branch. In the last panel, at the end of the branch, it sings a little song. I'm sorry.
