Switch to HP.
I save a lot on ink because it never prints. Any. Thing.

Bonus:
They conveniently force you to use an app that thinks the resolution to every error is subscribing to an ink purchasing plan.

YouTube history channels are generally the worst history channels. When you find a good one, treasure it.

I read your book shortly after it was published. I found it to be a remarkable historical record of what it must have been like in those moments. Chapter 10 (I believe) was especially tense and frightening. I will definitely be reading your next book.

I have not heard of this museum before so thank you for sharing.
If I were a millionaire this is the type of place I would spend my fun money on 😆

Fascinating series that you have been posting from this museum. It seems they could benefit from some volunteers to give some of these birds some love.

On this day in 1945 a brave Danish Dutch diplomat drove his car into a Japanese concentration camp and saved my grandmothers and thus my life.
A thread.

It is August 15th 1945, my grandmother and her daughter (2 years old) are prisoners in Japanese concentration camp Lampersari.

The way these Puffins sound like helicopters when they fly! 😂 This is great!

Left my GoPro in with the Puffins while I went and did a Shorewatch yesterday and this was the result! Such curious little birds! @fairislebirdobs.bsky.social

Most of the latter are block heads, so it makes sense.

3 towering columns of gas and dust in starry space and googly eyes on each so they look like Muppets.
