NASA Intern Found Hope in the Moon - NASA Lee esta historia en espaΓ±ol aquΓ­

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

A Winter Morning
We got an inch or so of snow overnight which helped create this unique light. It was extremely still and the water was very calm except for the ripples caused by the birds.

#TBT since Art & Science are both important.

Seattle's #BurkeMuseum has a great show up called "Rare Air: Connecting with Species of Flight." It was great to do #urbansketching at this exhibit. Please visit & find out ways to help flying animals 🌎

#Throwback to a comics character post from January 2021, originally insomnia inspired. Not quite fully there now, but, fell asleep unexpectedly/now awake at what should be a proper bedtime. A bit hard to properly rest of late.

Excited to see so many familiar faces joining BlueSky! It's scary to rely on social media to share public events and spaces, especially when the overlords are behaving badly. We love building the Bremerton &zine community so we can stay connected.

In this cold weather, a fun thing to do for kids and adults is to bring some trees indoors. Take cuttings of small branches, put them in a warm place in some water, and watch what happens. Some trees will do nothing, but many, especially the early-flowering trees, are eager to show their stuff.
