Pink shirt day rings hollow when people blatantly exclude PWD's. There's no pride parade for PWD's. PWD's who are too sick/injured to work are living in poverty, with govt funding at half the Minimum Wage, 1/3 of the Living Wage. A few PWD's seek MAiD to escape poverty & lack of social supports.

January is a big time for drugmakers to hike prices. This year saw higher prices for 575 medications so far, including Ozempic, drugs for HIV, cancer and many others.

Mars rotation. Mars has a day length almost the same as the Earth, at about 23.5 hrs. I made this video from nearly 100 separate images, taken over a period of over 4 hrs. I've speeded it up to show the rotation, and plays at about 3660x real-time speed. #astrophotography 🔭

It is entirely logical to be furious at the fossil fuel industry, whose decades-long campaign of corrupting politicians, crafting fake science, sowing false doubt, and lying at an industrial scale has brought us to this moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/o...

Double-pendulum. Lowest energy mode where both pendulums are in sync and not a lot of energy so they stay in this mode. No chaos.

Really nice footage of Mas rotating! Mars is closest to Earth this week, so its a great time to get the 'scope out or even just scan the skies with binocs. It's really red! 0232 UTC on 16 Jan 2025 is opposition, where it will form a line with Castor and Pollux. The detail in this vid... 🙌 🔭🧪

Wildfire in the MIDDLE OF WINTER! But somehow, it can’t be Climate Change? Insurance companies dropped the ball decades ago even though they had the power to lobby government to mitigate losses. #capitalism

One of reasons why I never went into Astronomy as a physicist. It’s tough even without racism or heterosexism. In gr 7, I rescued a Tasco telescope from neighbor’s garbage, made equatorial mount from scrap WOOD, STRING, my brother’s train transformer & small toy motor. I got fuzzy photo of Saturn.

Today, I met a guy who has Multiple-Sclerosis. He didn't think society owed him anything even though he has a severe disability. He's a hard worker but his business is very slow right now. Personally, I think Persons With severe Disability deserve dignity, and should get a Living Wage income.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.

In my dreams. This year has filled with unfortunate circumstances. Still at a Disability Assistance income from CPP-D equivalent to $8/hr. Acquaintances won the $18M lottery earlier this year & they know I go to the food bank but I’d be surprised if they helped.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

Summer 2021 had so much hope. Recovering from a second surgery in Colorado, I was seriously working on my sailboat for the first time in 7 yrs. Short-lived because I got a vaccine injury 2 weeks after this photo was taken.

Always love sharing this story. Soon, the "efficiency bros" will target science/research they think isn't adding value. Truth is, we don't know the value until it’s revealed - often years later. Another great example: radio astronomy research on tiny black holes led to Wi-Fi for billions of ppl!

Lots of progress. But also remember that medical technology is not infallible either. For example, I have a confirmed vaccine injury from the Moderna from one of BC's top Covid doctors. We're always learning things are more complicated than first thought.

Feeling crappy again due to barometer climbing. Maybe I shouldn’t be lying down to avoid pressure building in my brain CSF? Little energy.
