One year ago today, a spectacular aurora display graced the night sky across much of the globe. This was my view in *Oklahoma.* What a beautiful world we are fortunate to live on. #photography

A truly amazing experience.

The President seems unwell. From his physical symptoms to his visible cognitive decline, the American people deserve clear answers about his ability to serve. I’ve formally called on the White House Physician to provide transparency and the truth about President Trump’s health.

An alien fleet appeared in Earth's orbit, and broadcast a message:

"Having studied you furtively, we now seek formal contact, and want to meet your greatest thinkers..."

A long list followed.

"How do we tell them?" world leaders wondered.

Topping the list were the names Calvin and Calvin's Dad.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 22h

for my sourdough loaves, i use a cast iron bread oven that you heat up at 450 degrees for an hour before baking. put the loaf in with a couple ice cubes, bake covered, for 20 minutes, remove the cover and bake for 30 more minutes and i consistently get a crunchy, flavorful crust with a great spring

Joseph Parisi @equinas.bsky.social · 22h

Don’t you need a special oven to make really good bread?

Venting is not just "blowing off steam." Putting words to our feelings & experiences, especially in the presence of someone we trust, supports us in processing what we've been through & organizing the story we're telling ourselves about it.

Don't sleep on venting as a tool.

I forgot to account for the water from the soaker, so it came out to about 80%. I'll lower it slightly for the next batch for easier handling.
