Digital painting of a miniature elephant standing at the edge of a forest. The head of the elephant is a white vanilla flower, and its tusks are brown vanilla pods. It is staring straight at the viewer.

Last month I got a cat. He is a ten month old big baby named Jericho. He likes to hunt toys and sit on me for pets. Sometimes he helps me write or crochet by sitting on my keyboard or yarn. I love him so much
Jericho, white and dark tabby cat, lays on his back exposing his belly as he reaches for purple crochet squid toy Jericho laying on his side and giving a BIG stretch in the empty bathtub Jericho puts his head close to inspect my yarn (bulky size pink white and purple, unraveled because I had to frog a row because of a mistake lol) Close of me and Jericho as Jericho lays on my chest as I’m lying on my bed. Both his and my eyes are squeezed closed in contentment

Sometimes a book is written so beautifully it’s hard to get through.

Orbital is my fourth “perfect” book of the year.

Orbital a novel by Samantha Harvey. Jamie Quatro says “A radiant explosion of a novel.” Blurry vibrant planets and light rings on a cover with a warm color screen

“Non-lethal” rubber bullet blinds a journalist in one eye, leads to blindness in the second, and causes dementia and now fatal traumatic brain injury.

To be clear: a rubber bullet fired AT her HEAD, while she was flashing journalist credentials and not close to protestors or police.

Fatally shot.

When cops shot Linda Tirado in the George Floyd protests, they destroyed one of her eyes with a rubber bullet. The subsequent brain damage is proving fatal. Linda needs funds for hospice

Police Blinded Her With a Foam Bullet. Suing Them Was When the Pain Began
When less-lethal weapons are misused, journalist Linda Tirado learned, there are no consequences — except for the people at the wrong end of the launcher.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.
