For #WaterfallWednesday, a picture of a #waterfall in #Iceland with some lovely #columnar #basalts. I distinctly remember how cold, dark and wet it was that day but I don’t have a clue which specific waterfall this is or where it is located…

At age 4, I was classified as 4c, enemy alien, even though I was born in the U.S. Within a few months, the internment of our community was ordered by FDR with broad support from the American people, who turned their backs upon us. We lost our homes, our businesses and our freedoms. (2/4)

It has been my lifelong mission to tell the story of the Japanese American internment so that we remember and do not repeat the mistakes of the past. Now, I am bringing that story to the UK from Jan-Apr in a show called “Allegiance” based on my own experiences. (3/4)

(new post because I have made a mistake before someone has been so kind to tell me)

It could be lost in the Artemis and holiday shuffle, but on Dec 15, #NASA and CNES will launch a $1.2 *billion* satellite, SWOT, to map the height of the world's water in unprecedented detail.

By measuring height, you unlock the changing water volume of all the major rivers and millions of lakes. And in the ocean, small scale changes in height reveal ocean eddies, an invisible keystone to in how the seas soak up carbon and heat.

I'm constantly surprised at the number of people who are looking for lists of people to follow. There's no shortage of fascinating breadcrumb trails here.
Pick a toot that resonates with you and open it up. See who commented, or retooted it. Look at those people's profiles. Follow them.
Look at their older toots and follow the people whose comments on those toots pique your interest.
I've been here a month & have a global circle, not one of whom I knew before coming here. #IFollowTheCrumbs
