I actually encountered one of these hawk moths myself a couple years ago! I was airing out a room with a lamp on at dusk, and one flew right in my window. It was big enough I thought it was a bat! I should post pics & video of it if I can find it. They are so adorable IRL! 😍

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power."FranklinRoosevelt

As Deaf/HoH, I was shocked the first time I learned the *vast majority* who use subtitles are Hearing. Much like relay tech, TTY/VCO, SMS, TCP/IP protocols & bluetooth earbuds a lot of broader utility has expanded from what was originally intended primarily for - or created by - Deaf/HoH & Mute. 🧵

Ah, fond childhood memories. I was a huge fan of Eugene Shoemaker's work, because I was such a strange, nerdy little kid. 🤓 I remember I got so ridiculously excited upon getting the opportunity to visit this site! Thank you for posting this and stirring up nostalgic feelings!

The BepiColombo spacecraft swung past Mercury earlier today, capturing footage with its onboard selfie-cam. Blazing by at 3 kilometers a second! Today's maneuver will help BepiColombo to settle into orbit around Mercury in 2026. 🧪🔭 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

His Dark Materials were a big part of what made me obsessed with night skies. Plus it was a story with an amazing female lead, not anything I had read before. Getting kids to read is so important, and letting authors write amazing characters that represent all walks of life is crucial 💙
