Oh cool, endosymbiosis is occurring https://www.popsci.com/science/two-lifeforms-merged-into-one/

The beavers are hard at work! It's a little sad to see them taking down big trees, but they're making a nice wetland.

After looking pretty sad for the first week after potting, these baby elderberries have actually perked up in the heat and humidity of the last three days. Still a ways to go, and I’ll be really thrilled when I see new growth starting

Exactly 14 years since the Deepwater Horizon disaster and the massive oil spill that followed, and the seabed there shows little sign of recovery.

We have to stop thinking that nature is just going to clean up our messes, and focus much more on how to prevent them in the first place. Not just the acute ones like this, but also the slower more insidious ones that are easy to ignore.

There is no "Away" where we can just put all the mess - it's all our own backyard.

Fuck nudes, tbh: send me pictures of you doing something I cannot. Pictures of you being competent and skilled and badass. These are the hottest pictures. This is the money shot.

My husband wanted to watch 1923 together. I am not a big TV watcher and not a fan of Yellowstone, but I am a fan of my husband, so Summer and I curled up with some snacks in my recliner.
The storyline has given us pause because his family and mine would have been on opposite sides. My relatives would have been in the Indian boarding schools (which they were), and his family with several Catholic priests and nuns could have been the oppressors.
He had no idea how bad the schools were. I did because I heard directly from my mother, who was second generation in her family, to be sent to boarding school.
She went from a one room school house to a school hundreds of miles away from her family. This end of year school photo of all the children she attended school with, on the reservation, represents the end of my mother's childhood. Her next school year was in boarding school, where she stayed until she was placed in household service to a wealthy family.
Not really so long ago.

Czy rocznica wybuchu powstania w getcie warszawskim może/powinna być kontekstem do mówienia o ludobójstwie w Gazie? Moim zdaniem jak najbardziej.

Czy mówienie o systemowym, państwowym ludobójstwie realizowanym 81 lat później przez rząd Netanjahu na Palestyńczykach w jakimkolwiek stopniu uwłacza pamięci o bohaterstwie powstańców 1943? Moim zdaniem ani trochę.

A poll for those of you who own actual physical books: How many #books do you own that were printed (that specific copy, not that title/edition in the abstract) before you were born? (I think for me it's about three dozen, but I can only lay hands on four of them easily, because most are in storage.)

I'm starting to think that having failed to be an astronaut is a bit of a teaching thing. I tried. University astrophysics, RAF basic pilot training thing, bombed out, most people do.
But at their age, 17 or so, I did have a sudden moment of "wait...high school students can at least *try* to be astronauts?!"
Yeah, I "failed" at some point, most people do. But I profited from trying. If you can, apply to one dream job for a giggle.

Dzień jak co dzień.

Miałem wąską przesiadkę. Większość trasy pociąg przyjeżdżał przed czasem.

Tuż przed Poznaniem, przyszło nam przepuszczać opóźnione InterCity, i nabraliśmy opóźnienia. Tak więc biegłem na przesiadkę.

Okazało się, że biegłem niepotrzebnie, bo przesiadka też była opóźniona, z powodu innego opóźnionego InterCity. A po drodze zebrała jeszcze trochę opóźnienia z innych przyczyn.

Kiedy w końcu dotarłem na swoją stację, przyszło mi czekać przed zamkniętym przejazdem kolejowym… na kolejny pociąg z Poznania. Tak więc łącznie oszczędziłem jakieś 30 sekund dzięki temu, że zdążyłem na wcześniejszy pociąg, ale za to stałem dodatkową minutę w deszczu.

Jestem mistrzem planowania.
