Nope. This isn’t science fiction; no dystopian future. This is here… now. I’m past opining, but willing to converse on any subject that improves lives. #Volcanology, #Petrology, #SW #Engineer, #System Architect, and #SciFi #writer; I really dig #butterflies. Especially the tiny ones. Walker in the Rain. #CowboyBebop

Found this political pamphlet in a 1992 newspaper I was saving. They all look so young.

So-so day in the world here. Still not seeing the Hairstreaks or the Blues. Saw what I thought was a Lorquin’s Admiral but on photo-inspection turned out to be a Sister. Still seeing Orangetips, which are usually gone by now. The biggest catch was a Pale Swallowtail (maybe more than one). I was about to say the species are slowly coming out, but again the pictures reveal this guy already has major battle scars. Not sure what the story is there.

@dgar Very thoughtful. You could add a Gandalf figurine and call him "Old Spice"! 🙂

@mloxton @OldAndCranky maybe it’s the parasitic worm talking. 🤷‍♂️

You're not in the way, your body isn't taking up too much space. There is no normal, average is just the space between all the possibilities. You don't need to make yourself invisible, smaller, or less, because you don't meet some ridiculous criteria.

On aphantasia:

“I dream, but not in pictures”

“I can write entire articles, documents, or conference talks in my head while out for a run. It’s usually quicker for me to create content in this way than sit at a computer and think about it. I can come in from a run and type out 2,000 words, transferring what I’ve written in my head to the document.”

First time I’ve heard how I experience the world described in words! Also why I take photos.

@skinnylatte Just reading your posts, I would never have known about you. I guess your ability with recipes and cooking could be enhanced by this and it’s probably a new delightful surprise each time you cook something. Nevertheless it’s sad to think you can’t have a flying dream.
I think if I had this mental arrangement I would move to somewhere near the entrance to Yosemite valley. That way I could wake up each morning and experience the awe that sight over and over again. Or is it possible that with aphantasia the significance of what you see is somehow lessened?

Gotta protect the administrators from checks notes professors.

“A group of 11 professors arrived at Gibson Hall Friday morning to deliver an open letter signed by 250 faculty members that condemned the university’s response to a pro-Palestinian encampment and demanded it drop suspensions against seven students involved.

“Nine armed police officers stopped the group from entering Gibson.”

@Npars01 @msbellows @abdalian As in GOP to POC: “You didn’t tell me there were going to be multiple generations needing education.”
but GOP to white people: “We need to get you your own schools. Also, have more babies.”

SOMEONE is going to be elected president of the U.S. in November. It can either be the guy you yell at who changes his approach, or the guy you yell at who puts you in a camp. Up to you.

@StillIRise1963 And in case you have any doubts, think carefully about what that word ‘camp’ means. And maybe it’s not you. Maybe it’s your kid. #VoteBiden #voteblue all the way down the ballot.
