Black-beaked Gull on a beach

I missed #BlueSkyArtShow yesterday, but this cheeky little black-beaked gull needed to visit the interwebs again.

BlueSky has taken a bit of a backseat this summer.
Critter woes continue:
Reesie Rabbit passed away. I got many extra months with my friend.
Penny Pigaloo is failing. We are keeping her comfortable.
Chase has The Itchies. Meds are working, but it took a while.
Teela Bird's bumbles are better.

Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?

2023 US household income by population

2023 US household income by population, full graph.

I present you with 2 of the same graph. One (no longer) on our government websites that is truthful but abbreviated for readability, and the other, poorly altered by me in MS Paint to show a clearer representation of the numbers.
Posted for absolutely no pertinent reason today.

Midsummer always needs a mid-winter photo for fun.

IKR? There was an island between Alaska & Russia where they survived for a LONG time after the mainland mammoths died out.

A very bad timeline of possible "Noah's Flood" dates and the civilizations that carried on like nothing happened. I may have the flood of Surruapak (sp?) in the wrong place, I've seen several dates from 3000-2800.

I'm seriously struggling with the Noah's Flood video. It's a chonker, and I dislike the order of things, and I can't read Utnapishtom's account without crying. I think I just need to suck it up, quit fiddling & publish the thing.
Here's a bad timeline that you may find helpful.

Tis the season.
Happy Solstice!

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Snakes aren't out to get you, they are just noodles living their lives. Also, they don't have eyelids, so they may be asleep if they are just coiled up and relaxed.

I've been pretty swamped with prep for the upcoming workshop this weekend; plus I got sick, so had to muddle through that.
IDK how much I'm going to be posting here on BlueSky this summer. I have a lot of tasks on the table. I'll try to pop in once a week at least.

Two white ducks full of mischief.

These two little sh*ts went on an adventure yesterday & nearly gave my mother a heart attack. Hours of looking & calling had zero results. The poor woman was nearly in tears. Who comes waddling up covered in mud at 7:15 that night?
I'm glad the troublemakers are home.

I've been hesitant to talk about my new project because it can be a hot-button issue for folks, but this morning at 10:00 I'm launching my new YouTube channel, "The Secular Scriptures," where I read and then discuss the Bible as a text from historic, literary, and modern social perspectives.

Trade schools and Universities both serve good purposes. Teens should be encouraged to go to both as they are inclined, and be barred from neither.
Neither should condemn a person to debt into their 50's.

I dislike all this slashing of federal funding to critical resources.

But... if you aren't receiving federal funds in education, you no longer have to play by federal rules to receive those funds.

That said, 37% is a huge hit and doth sucketh mightily.
