I love Harrison ford!!! What a babe!!! My 1998 diary

My diary from 1998 after I found Star Wars for the first time:

The people banning books are never the same people who actually read books.

AOC represents EVERY WOMAN in America right now who is sick and tired of misogyny & misinformation.

She represents us and the rage we feel.

Artist Je Shen.

His works are characterized by a "sedimentation" of color; he does not apply it uniformly, but rather gradually deposits it with thousands of small touches, creating vibrant surfaces that call for pointillism.

NASA’s plans for living in space should prioritize immunology and infectious disease Infectious diseases could pose serious risks for interplanetary travelers.

"Could immunizations somehow be developed to protect against the vast richness of Earth’s microbes, much of which remains undescribed? If not, children born on the moon or Mars may find themselves stranded there."

There's only one perfect photo for this year's Earth Day, and it's this one that the Artemis II crew took. Happy Earth Day.

A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.

Good morning BlueSky...

That's a Very Good Thing! 😃

Went to used bookstore today. Shelves are looking sparse. Asked the old lady owner if they're closing. They're not closing, she said they just can't keep books in stock because they're flying off the shelves faster than they're coming in.

This black-and-white portrait captures Maggie Kuhn (1905–1995), the indomitable founder of the Gray Panthers, an activist group that revolutionized the fight against ageism. Seated in a relaxed yet attentive pose, Kuhn is seen in her later years, radiating a sense of sharp-witted wisdom and gentle defiance. She is dressed in a dark, structured, button-down jacket with a small round collar, featuring a prominent circular political button pinned to her left chest—a hallmark of her lifelong commitment to grassroots organizing. Her silver hair is elegantly swept back, and she wears thin-framed glasses that highlight her keen, observant eyes and a slight, knowing smile. Her hands, weathered by time and adorned with simple rings, rest naturally in her lap, one draped over the arm of what appears to be a patterned chair. The background is softly out of focus, showing a glimpse of indoor foliage and a textured wall, suggesting a television studio or public forum setting where she frequently challenged societal norms. The composition is a medium shot that focuses on her presence as a formidable public figure. The mood is one of dignified strength and intellectual vitality, serving as a powerful visual testament to her legacy as a champion for intergenerational justice and the rights of the elderly.
