A beautiful night on the Gulf of Mexico with the water a turquoise green and colorful sunset clouds overhead. If you look closely you can see two people taking a dip in the warm Gulf waters. An impressionistic effect has been applied.

Ransomware Attacks Have Entered a ‘Heinous’ New Phase

Today we’re celebrating the life of Micaela Bastidas, who in 1780 started an Inca uprising against the Spanish with her husband, Túpac Amaru II. One of her goals was to reestablish Indigenous women in social life and politics, which the Spanish had prevented. Among other roles, she was a key figure in supplying troops with the necessary money, food, clothing, and weapons.

Florida Republicans have filed a new Florida amendment allowing only certain flags being displayed by governmental buildings

The confederate flag is one of the few they allow

The pride and trans flags are not

I say make the confederate flag the state flag of Florida. What better way to express you’re a perennial loser?

I didn't even know that it's #thicktrunktuesday so I guess that makes my tree of life a fitting post for today. (Still experimenting with creating stained glass effects.)

Sedona 10234

Sedona,
How do you describe this beautiful area tucked into North Central Arizona not far south of the Grand Canyon.
In this case, I think a picture speaks thousands of words. You could forever try to describe the beautiful rock formations but I'm not sure that words are adequate.

Properly jaw-dropping moment this evening: an e-mail from my US publisher saying that "since it's a science book", they'll publish Blue Machine WITH METRIC UNITS. So I don't have to convert everything to foot pounds per square elephant. In YEARS of writing for the US, this is the first time I have ever had a hint that there is a world outside feet and inches. Progress! #Books #Metric #Science

@fraying This should be on a post-it on my computer. Hey now it is.

I can only imagine the stress of being at the front lines. Thank goodness these Ukrainian women found something to distract themselves for even a few minutes!

STAY SAFE GIRLS ❤️

BREAKING: 🐦InternetArchive supporters are planning a digital rally 3/20 in support of the digital rights of libraries at https://www.battleforlibraries.com/

That's when a judge will hear oral arguments in big publishers' suit to end the ability of libraries to own+preserve digital books.

It’s wild that during Reagan’s presidency everyone watched the first generation of families that required two incomes to survive and we had to come up with terms for us kids left alone at home but Reagan isn’t seen as the guy that drove the death of the middle class in America to enrich the wealthy when he clearly accomplished that.
