I saw this at like 12 years old, late at night, with everyone else in bed. It felt like a fever dream when I was watching it, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Sound up! I was walking my dog and heard barred owls. I took a video of these (maybe nesting?) screeching red tailed hawks in trees while I waited to catch the owls on video and you can hear them towards the end. The sunrise at the end was a random bonus.

Said Ray Bradbury: 'Make a list of 10 things you hate and tear them down in a short story or poem. Make a list of 10 things you love and celebrate them. When I wrote Fahrenheit 451, I hated book burners and loved libraries.' #writingascatharsis #writingasdocumentation #writingcommunity #writingtips

No one alive will experience a better climate than today. But young people will experience a much more dangerous and chaotic world in the future, and the extent to which that happens will depend on our choices today. Trump doesn't care because he's old and a sociopath. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/s...

Decades, even centuries, of research and wildlife conservation could go up in smoke over night. The damage this administration is doing will be felt for generations. And it will cost more money in the long run. Nothing efficient about DOGE.

Happy birthday to Charles Darwin, who wrote one of the most poetic lines ever dropped in scientific writing: "There is grandeur in this view of life - that from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
