It's not called an "app" unless it was made in the Appalachia region of the Eastern United States, otherwise it's just sparkling website.

For #SundayPix this week, here's my offering #SundayPixPointy - taken at the local Natural Sciences Museum #dinosaur

The German word "hören" means "to hear". But it has funny relatives:

anhören = to listen
zuhören = to listen (a bit more active than anhören)
umhören = to ask around
abhören = to wiretap, to auscultate
überhören = to not hear
erhören = to hear and react to (eg. a plea or a prayer)
gehören = to belong to
angehören = to be a member of
satthören = to get enough of hearing

Should I rather aufhören*? OK.

Enjoy our language!

That lamp looks PISSED.

If you’re at the right place at the right time, with the right equipment, this is possible.

Last night, with guidance from https://transit-finder.com/, I positioned myself along the narrow line where the International #SpaceStation would pass between me and the nearly full moon.

I used a Fujifilm X-T4 shooting 4K video through a Celestron 8” SCT to capture the pass. Then, back at the computer this morning, put together these views with PIPP, Registax, and GIMP.

Quite pleased. My best yet.

"Think not of the books you've bought as a 'to be read' pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood." - Luc van Donkersgoed

Did you know? Half of all U.S. states, 25 to be exact, carry Indigenous names. Today we will be taking a look at the 25 states and the meanings of their names. They will be listed in alphabetical order under this post.

I need your help...

Every day I put out a post to encourage people to Toot about their lives. Mundane or interesting.

I do this is to keep the social aspect of Mastodon alive. It's easy to forget, in a world of niche content, all of the things that make us who we are.

When we share our lives, we can see ourselves in others. We can see what makes us different, and yet the same.

That's beautiful.

So PLEASE, if you see any of my boosts with #today in it, BOOST it.

Let's keep Mastodon social.

I just found my read of the day:

It makes so much sense to me that differentiation pathways in T cells(and biological processes i general) are much more flexible than currently depicted in literature! Why would a cell be fully stuck in one state with no way to return? HIgh time for studies like this to correct our current view on #immunology #memory #T cell #differentiation #gene regulation. So i look forward to read it!

There's nothing comfortable on this desk.
The only soft spot is.. you're looking at it. Jasper, the #Cat uses the full body overlap to hide phones and keys and things you've been looking for all morning.

Do you know who Cheryl Johnson is? You should. Ms. Johnson is the Clerk of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. In lieu of an elected Speaker of the House, she is in charge. This is the first time a black woman has been the presiding officer of the U.S. House of Representatives. Let's hope it takes two years for the Republicans to pick their 'speaker'.

There are options for both male and female versions of the fly, as well as eye-color mutants and a larvae.
