Democracy

I have a lot of fun on Bored Panda. It can also be exasperating wading through AITA posts. I don't care about that stuff. So, your third-cousin twice removed wore a white dress to your wedding. I don't need to know!

This article is surprisingly insightful.

People Share 35 Things Americans Don't Understand But Should

While it can be pleasant to think that you and your household is an island, conventional wisdom and actual life experience would show that it’s simply not true.

and you can't "demand" democracy -- you have to work for it and participate in it, and holding up a sign saying you "demand democracy" isn't really near enough either.

Inspired by the great classical work "Lark Ascending" by Ralph Vaughan Williams, I call this photo "Woodpecker Ascending". Female downy woodpecker, composite of 4 images. Clifton, Virginia, USA 21NOV2024 #birds #BirdPhotogaphy #BirdsOfMastodon #naturephotography #Nikon #NikonZ8
A composite showing the same black and white woodpecker but in 4 different positions overlayed in a single image. At bottom right it is perching on a branch looking up and to the left. Just to the left and up the bird is in flight with its wings at about 45 degree angles. Further up and to the left, the bird has its wings spread all the way wide, and finally, furthest to the left near the top the bird has its wings tucked all the way back against its body.

hello friends! this is our twice-yearly reminder that we have a support fund and it helps us to do things like the Barbed Wire Fence Telephone exhibition and the Simple FM Transmitter booklet. it also helps us to show just how many people are interested in the lab continuing to exist and do interesting things. we're sincerely grateful to everyone who contributes, but please know that our budget does not rely on small donations like this, it just gives us a little extra room to do interesting things.

you can donate to the support fund here: giveto.colorado.edu/campaigns/…

The eruption began less intense than the previous one and is now declining. Lava has flowed westward to the north of the Svartstengi power plant / Blue Lagoon. Gas pollution is forecast to travel southward and westward.
