Space X having a bad day.

As Musk was busy blowing up Space X rockets, Europe's new rocket Ariane 6 successfully carried out its first commercial mission, placing a French military satellite into orbit and confirming the continent's independent access to space and further cutting reliance on US systems. #StandWithUkraine

I don’t want to ride on a Space X plane…

The religious right is at the heart of this propaganda machine- they’ve got the money and position to meet that goal of forcing this country into a weird bubble of Christian theocratic oligarchy. Ignorance is their goal, why do you think they are attacking the pillars of progress and enlightenment?

Many Hooklanders call twilight 'the hour of blue teeth'. Their crepuscular stories transform into a spectral commute. Great ghost murmurations twisting, stretching in the bruised day. The time's most common prayer still seems to be: "Let me get home before dark comes'. – Dr. Michael Benn, 1982

A botanical illustration of the bitterroot (Lewisia rediviva) by Mary E. Eaton, published in National Geographic Magazine (June 1917). The painting depicts the plant with delicate pink flowers that have numerous petals radiating from a yellow-green center. Several buds in various stages of blooming accompany the open flowers. The plant has small, fleshy green leaves near the base, and a thick, gnarled root system extending downward. The illustration is detailed and realistic, showcasing the structure and vibrant colors of the state flower of Montana.

A Native American legend tells of an old woman crying piteously by a stream, grieving for her starving grandchildren. The Sun sent a spirit in the form of a redbird that turned her tears into the bitterroot plant, which grew each year to help her people survive. #FolkloreThursday

A lit candle shining in the darkness for Candlemas

and clear,
There will be two winters
in one year,
But if Candlemas bring
clouds and rain,
Winter is gone and will
not come again."🕯️

There is a wonderful traditional castilian word for talking about frost when it re-freezes at night over the previous day's frost that the sun hasn't reached and melted: "Cencellada".

Then we're sure to have a soak,
If the oak should bud before the ash,
Then we'll only have a splash."
