Yesterday I learned there is something called a Virginia Creeper Sphinx Moth. Now you do, too, if you didn’t before.

I’m ready for my closeup Mr DeMille

If you see this, post something green you'd like to share

Thank you!! @joshuaholland.bsky.social

Having offered some gloominess, let me also say that the widespread idea that Biden is headed for a near-certain defeat at this point is monumentally stupid. We’re gonna have a multi-billion $ campaign after the conventions. Dem coalition is bigger. And the threat of Trump isn’t that he’s too old.

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't. www.zdnet.com/article/digi...

Finally. Facts & historical perspective.

Folks, I may have a PhD in history-including US politics history-but the last several years I’ve been working in public health as a science writer. One of my areas of focus is Aging, including Alzheimer’s and related dementias (AD/RD). I find the discourse around Biden really troubling.

Happy 1st birthday to this little escape artist! A year full of fetch, grooming, purrs, cuddles, and conversations.

Wow. Maybe polling really sucks.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

The Princess is recovering well from her spay surgery. Lots of sleeping & glad to be out of the kennel. She hasn’t used this bed in ages. Glad it’s making her comfortable.

If you see this you have to post a picture from your phone but dont explain it.

@nytimes.com editorial board has ZERO credibility at this point. Biden should step aside but not Trump, the convicted felon, sexual abuser, fraud & charged traitor? Christ.

You know what, Biden should go on TV and say "if the Court is going to be reviewing so many administrative regulations, it's going to need to be a whole lot larger. Going to need *puts finger in the air* idk, 5 or 6 justices"

Recovering from an inflamed uterus & spaying surgery (unexpected timing due to last-minute opening) is exhausting but she’s still adorable. Keeping her contained and relatively still is going to be a challenge. She has, tho, tolerated the night in a kennel.

History repeats itself when we ignore trends that led to bad decision making, disaster and similar regrettable outcomes. #ListenToHistorians

In April 1944, the Vice President of the United States wrote an article in the New York Times about the threat of Fascism in the United States. He ended by predicting that right wing anti-Communist saber rattlers in the US will inject a fascistic brand of politics into our political culture.

After 40+ years as a cat owner I am so NOT appreciating, for the first time, a cat in heat. The sounds. Yikes. This little girl. (No, we didn’t get her at Aldi.

@therickwilson.bsky.social offers superb debate advice for Pres Biden. He’s got Trump’s number like few others & truly understands the danger another Trump admin would be for our democracy. open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

One can knit 🧶 without looking at the work in progress but you can’t do the same with crochet. Providing a basic income and/or housing is less expensive than providing public housing/health assistance but a living minimum wage would be the ideal, best solution for society overall.

ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.

Time to cross-stitch a “Do Not Disturb” door hanger with images of 2 snoozing cats. It’s not our bed; they merely let us use it around their occupied spaces.

Justice Thomas washing his hands of the boy he “raised as a son” with Harlan Crow’s assistance, who’s now a 32yo facing felony charges, should be as big a story as Hunter Biden. www.businessinsider.com/clarence-tho...

Clarence Thomas raised him 'as a son.' Now he's facing 25-plus years on weapons and drug charges.www.businessinsider.com Years ago, Thomas took in a 6-year-old relative who reminded him of himself. His sister's grandson, Mark Martin was a "challenge."

What TV series have you watched all the way through more than three times?

Next time someone tries to blame the Biden administration for inflation, show them this. Workers and the families they try to support will never get ahead so long as ‘shareholder value’ is a CEO’s priority.

With framing like this, who needs political opposition? Really @washingtonpost.com? Why not “After Senate Rs doomed their own border bill at the behest of Trump, Biden takes action to secure the border”?

This is my favorite feed.

Just gonna once again share this feed that automatically surfaces every Gift Link or Gift Article on Bluesky across many news outlets. This is basically how I get my news now: slow, generally very good, with a recommendation. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I’ll never get how this is remotely comfortable, let alone comfy enough to sleep on. #Cats. Sigh.
