I only glimpsed auroras a few times when I lived in Wisconsin, just faint gray streamers, but I vividly remember the way they moved.
I’ve caught glimpses of a decent aurora once, nowhere near this spectacular, but the thing that struck me most was that the light flowed in a way that was very conspicuously NOT like a liquid but like electricity. It felt like being inside one of those plasma globe lamps. Eerie and breathtaking.
The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

My feed is dominated by sand discourse and it feels very nice.
Almost as nice as very fine sand, which (sometimes) squeaks when you walk on it.

I suppose it's a good moment to mention that the most neglected subdivision of sand is 'very fine' (63-125 µm)
so many people, including some sedimentologists, will just completely skip over 'very fine' and go from silt to 'fine' sand (125-250 µm)
don't forget about 'very fine' sand! 😁

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

Immediately preceding this: "KATHERINE, do not *lay* on him"
So she's not laying on him. She's just very very close. If he leaves it's not her fault. It's practically coincidence
(There's a decent chance she'll forget she was trying to bully him and they'll both fall asleep)
