No #bees around here at the moment.
As it should be.

Loads of robins though.

(Stops to ponder an idea)

So from The Robin Sanctuary of Ireland:

A robin. 😊

A trove of more than 2,000 of Mark Meadows’s texts was published today, and they show that Jim Jordan played a lead role in Trump’s plot."

#introduction 1/ I’m a lifelong creative and activist. In 11/16, the amazing Jennifer Fisher introduced me to postcard activism with its pithy effective actions we could take (before the birth of Indivisible) on FB’s @postcards4USA where #PostcardsToVoters was born later.

I don’t support banning of books so my nieces and nephews are all getting these as part of Christmas

We think people panic during a crisis.

Actually, most do the opposite.

In 1977, two planes collided above a runway. A handful of passengers climbed out of the ruptured hull. Everyone else burned alive. It wasn’t because they were injured. They were all wide awake. They just couldn’t get moving.

They didn’t want to panic.

If I won a dollar for every time I forgot to do something important, I’d still forget to fill out the paperwork required to collect the money.

Heads up, Augusta: "Levi" is the neo-Nazi head of White Lives Matter (WLM) in Georgia—and an ambulance driver, or at least he claims to be. We've tracked his earliest WLM activities to metro Augusta area.

Please share the information in this article to EMS contacts & friends near Augusta. "Levi" has a habit of driving around on his OneWheel tossing Nazi propaganda onto people's lawns, so this information should also be shared with OneWheel enthusiast communities and shops. Lastly, "Levi" is likely linked to a Mormon community in or near Augusta. More details are in the article, which has several (masked) images and a link to a recording of his voice.

50 years ago today, Gene Cernan became the last person to stand on the Moon. Before his return to the #Apollo17 lunar module, he said: “We leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.” #Apollo50th

I have a background in disaster preparedness communication and would like the vocal ethics police on this app who keep insisting the “only” ethical course of action is to leave Twitter now to explain how Mastodon currently enables people living in the Gulf South today to get real-time warnings and information about the ongoing tornado outbreak on par with Twitter. They need this information now, so “let’s build something better” is a dodge. #LAwx #MsWx #Wx #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon

Hey, this is pretty cool.

As long as I had the Takahashi 60 on the mount, I figured out a fairly good as-is use for it. I chose a target that was the right size to allow me to crop away the edges with the most stretched stars. This is M45, the Pleiades. I can't frame it all in my 152 anyway, so it was nice to get every bit of it.

I’ll never understand how an entire generation that’s addicted to porn needs a fucking content warning on anything.
