One of those nights when I’m looking up at stars and getting rain drops in my eyes. Looking for meteor flashes and also getting lightning flashes. #Starshowers @capitalweather.bsky.social

A fascinating read.
A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at.
And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.

There is a line around this building to get to the line entrance to wait to get into this job fair.
At the airport. For airport jobs.

I am deeply disturbed that Autism rates have risen over the last hundred years!! I’m also puzzled why 100 years ago there was only one other galaxy, Andromeda. Now look how many!! I think they’re connected!!!

A major (M7.6) earthquake between Honduras and the Cayman Islands has set off Tsunami alerts all over the Caribbean. Worth watching closely.

Has it been a month already since Atlas made its showing? Ancients saw comets as harbingers of doom. Has anything happened in the last month to worry about?
