Ok, until I can work out how (if?) you can embed videos in a toot, here’s a link to #TomHolland ‘s #Umbrella on #LipSyncChallenge. Usual rule applies - if it crosses your timeline, watch it, appreciate it, and boost it. (🤞🏼 this works)

Wow!! Stunning capture by David Rojas:
The total lunar eclipse at dawn on Tues, 11/8/22. The photograph was taken from the Pacaya volcano in Guatemala, at a height of 7066" above one of the extinct cones of the volcanic complex called "Cerro Chino". In the image you can see the moon in its total phase with its characteristic red color of a lunar eclipse, above the moon the star cluster of Las Pleyades (Messier 45) and below the Fuego volcano (with lava) and Acatenango. #photography #art

One of the dumbest things a smart person can do is to start thinking they’re smarter than everyone else.
