I’ve been excited by the responses to #SOFIAISELLA ’s The Doll People & I started writing a creative analysis that turned into something else. It’s got ideas I’ve been chewing on for weeks. I hope it’s received in the spirit it is given. #spokenword #poetry #creativeanalysis youtu.be/KRfTpUbIHwE

I heard there might be some northern lights, and I also heard Deer Park was open for the season — so I took a chance, and I took a drive, and I spent a thrilling Friday the 13th under the stars, on top of the World.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

The joy of picking up lichen after the rain. That’s why I love mountains.

Last night, only the tiniest bit of green auroral glow visible on the northern horizon here on the south end of the Salish Sea, WA. It was only visible to me with a 30-second exposure (iPhone 14 Pro). #aurora #auroraborealis #northernlights #nightphotography #nightskies

I think if you grabbed any famous thinker from centuries ago and showed them Wikipedia and told them it was free for anyone to access, they would say it is humanity's crowning achievement and would be indifferent to the moon landings, modern medicine, flight, or anything else you showed them

#BlueSkyArtShow Mazatzal Mountains After Sunset Sunset light still strikes the tops of the 50000 ft. (15000 m.) tall monsoon clouds towering overhead and it diffuses down #Underneath is the deepest red natural light I have ever encountered #photography #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin

I believe this is a Crowborough cultivar of arum lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) with some beetle pollinators in my parents’ garden. They’ve been coming in more robust every year #bloomsky #lily #pollinators

I could lie, I could say oh no, I won’t kill them, I’m a nice SecUnit. I think I was going to say that, or the more believable version of it.

I wrote another chapter for my novelette! It’s been on the back burner for months. I set it aside because I needed perspective I didn’t have. Still 2 ch’s left & I’m not positive I can get it across the finish line yet, but it’s so nice to make progress. #writer #authorsofbluesky #writersblock

I’m formulating a time travel story & exploring the implications of the way it works. I’m realizing I am often not kind to my characters by building these worlds. But that’s why I do it—to explore the emotional impacts of forces outside of our control in a safer environment than the real-world.

Let’s “fly” through space to explore the massive star AG Carinae in extreme detail, thanks to observations from Hubble. Red is emission from ionized gas, and bluish-white is dust reflecting the light of the star. Credit: NASA, ESA. 🔭 🧪

The #bees are very much enjoying these #azaleas. I think that’s what they are. Some variety of #rhododendrons, at least!
