Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

What should you expect from the models. They might seem underwhelming, the atmospheres disintegrating, and harder to follow as they get further out and further apart. The idea is the point, and you can still see it, like the oblique Uranian axial tilt, this is expressed through the rings. 56/

This is one of the best (and experimental) poetry books I have ever read. One of the privileges of my life to hear Mark Goodwin read at the Carlisle Poetry Symposium. Buy this book, if you somehow have not already.

echoless - muffled
as if indoors.

We're between
four walls of mist.

#OtD 1 Apr 1982 oil company Exxon made a private report on CO2. It showed burning fossil fuels would cause global warming which may be irreversible and could be detectable by 1995. They then spent $31m to spread false propaganda claiming the opposite stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8039...

Old black eyes..
Of the birds nesting here currently, it's the Blackbird that concerns me the most.
The female is sitting on eggs in a fearsome Blackberry bush but the leaves haven't opened yet which means the eggs are easy to spot when she occasionally exits the nest.
Hoping for early foliage!

Maybe Herons, there in Life, Death, and Rebirth.
