I forgot I even had an account here and just remembered to install the app on a phone I've had for months so clearly bluesky had not really taken hold in my heart.

How about levers and clicky dials?

My car has lots of buttons but a lot look and feel the same so not great for adjusting things while looking at the road.

Thinking very specifically about the climate controls on my EUV.

Update I got an appointment with a neurologist and they are an MS specialist which I thought was the only damn thing we'd ruled out but they looked at my records and decided that's who I need to see.
Would be cool if I could get an appointment with a neurologist through normal channels but apparently they just really don't like seeing patients.

Whenever I'm out in public, I try to practice being kind in my brain and not think mean things about people talking about The Office being peak humor.

I do think mean things about people who think the issues with the Space Coast are due to foreign workers on cruise ships and not... everything else.

Since getting hit in the face with heavy machinery on Friday, my #migraine pain levels have been absolutely off the charts bad. I have too much shit to do for a hospital visit but I feel like that might be in the cards if I can't get this shit under control.

Polygonal Patterns Highlighted by Frost

It was spring when we acquired this image, and here we see polygonal patterns that are highlighted by carbon dioxide frost that has not entirely sublimed away.

This morning, I slammed the handle of a pug mill into my face and if you have ever wondered how much such a thing might hurt, the answer is "a lot."

This morning my migraine reigned itself to a level of pain that was just noticeable and annoying and I was able to get out of bed early and have a fun, productive first chunk of the day but now the pain is all the way back and I feel like I'm going to throw up but it was nice while it lasted.

Mars Wore Blue Velvet

The dark-blue and purple colors indicate coarse-grained sands that are comprised of basalt, an iron and magnesium-rich volcanic rock that formed from cooled lava millions of years ago.

Channels in Hesperia Planum

Also available in Context Camera data, the objective of this observation is to examine channels. There may have been a waterfall in this spot.

American citizens should not have to enter into a contract with a private company (that’s an X account signup!) to receive government communications
The NTSB says it will no longer email news outlets or reporters with notifications of upcoming press conferences, including those on plane crashes in Washington and Philadelphia.

Instead, all notifications will be made on X.

We're filing a FOIA to find out more about the change in policy.

I've been making so many more spheres and they are getting much more refined as I work on them. These are all from a previous firing, and I'm hoping the next round will be more interesting.

I had a few days in a row where I had too many ideas and had to scramble to write them all down and draw them all but now I need the time to actually make the things.
This term I've set aside 3 hours every Friday of just work but that's turned into training and meetings. #art #ceramics #pottery

I really need a good therapist to talk to about how I'm having constant breakdowns thinking about how my brain is going to burst and my kid won't have a mom but every therapist I've ever had with the exception of one in college has been truly horrific, especially with any kind of medical anxiety so

How much human language do you think your #cat understands? One of mine I don't even think she knows her name, but the other I'm starting to think knows a whole lot of English.
