Lysichiton americanus, Western skunk cabbage. (OMG)

The Artemis II transited behind the moon from right to left. It took me a few seconds to understand that without gravity, they were upside down to how I would think the image should be.

As an American who recently went to a Mexican beach town, populated in the winter primarily by Canadians, I thought about purchasing a Canadian Maple Leaf swim suit, or patch, or small key fob. I also knew I couldn't pull off the politeness, the Sorries, or the "eh?". Ashamed to be American now.

An 86-year-old widow of a WWII combat veteran. Why was she shackled? What were the ICE agents afraid of? Is this the worst of the worst being deported?

‘Maman is finally free!’: French widow, 86, flies home after ICE detention ordeal Marie-Thérèse Ross-Mahé, who moved to the US to marry a GI she met in the 1950s, was arrested in her nightgown at their home

This is how the world now sees the United States of America.

The rescue service is still busy every year. Stay on the trail.

I followed your post to the Cliffs of Moher website. It has been years since I was there. There was no trail to the south of the tower. I walked on the edge of the cliff, outside of the stone slabs meant to keep the cattle from going over the cliff. Yes - I almost went over, my friend grabbed me

Been there. Almost fell off with 35 lbs of camera glass in a backpack. Stay on the signed trails. Don't go south. They rescue hundreds of people and bodies each year. Stay on the trails to the north.

Love the way the headband and the collar bone frame the face.

I use a many-species blend of mycorrhizal fungi, bacteria, and humic acid. There are MANY products out there; one I use is Hardy Grow UltraBio. Manufactured soils lack the microbes, or are highly bacterial from manure. Add mycorrhizal fungi before planting for better veggies.

Busy volunteering at the food bank. Too many new families coming in, unable to afford both rent and food.

A week ago in WA State suburbia. Now all grades over $6

Non-profit food banks don't give you all the food you need. They might give you one day's worth for your family size, or a few items which are donated. The larger ones have a system to place no barriers between people and food, but you can only go once per week for one day's worth of food. 2/2

I volunteer for a non-profit food bank in WA State. We need two things every week: Cash donations so we can purchase food in bulk at a discount, and more volunteers to repackage food to smaller quantities and help people shop for what they need (sometimes limit what they take). 1/2

Better than watching grass grow! (Yes, it is a cool thing to watch the shadow details.)

I hope for this as well... but I'm convinced it won't happen. He will cry 'AI video', even when there are MANY of them. MAGA will fall for it again. It would be too hard for a MAGAT to accept that they have been cheated, lied to, and wrong for 10 years.

Is there a better source? I'm not seeing this in other major news sources.

Looks VERY familiar!

Are we great yet? WA state suburbia:

I love Bodie in the late afternoon sun.

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

Who killed the Iranian school girls? Not Claude.

A Chevron station sign lists regular gasoline at $5.79 in suburbia. Fuck this non-administration.

Fuck Drump fighting Bibi's war for him.
China, release the Epstein files.
