My long time friend, The Astrovert, an award-winning astrophotographer, took this stunning photo of the Beaver Moon last night! 🌕😍

For me it is very personal:

The Other Time a Vaccine Saved America.

I was five. When my mom heard the news of a polio vaccine. She was crying, tears of joy and relief. People literally danced in the streets. For 6 years she had cared for my older sister who came down with polio the year before I was born. My sister was very sick, for a very long time, in and out of public health hospitals. She required a huge amount of physical therapy, and that burden fell hard on mom.

Please welcome one of the nicest people you will ever meet - @beegoddess64 She is a bright blue dot in the middle of the very red state of Texas. A scientist and a teacher and a wealth of knowledge on pollinators, gardening, crafting and so so much more!

"Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk...

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive.."

Cylinders of Elon

Elon's Department of Government Efficiency may get a bit sticky.

by: Clay Jones

Please pardon my bluntness as a newbie. But f*ck Amazon & Twitter (X) for their self-serving partisan election interference. I've canceled both of them. Fortunately, I have other resources. I really enjoy good, honest political debate. Nothing more or less.

I guess Jamie Lee Curtis deactivated Twitter. I hope all reasonable people do.

I'm no government efficiency expert, but if your first act is to give the whole thing a name that's a bad inside klepto-koin joke, you're off to a poor start.

Wait for Elmo to announce that it'll have 69 divisions and 420 staffers next.
