I was a #refugee. English was my 2nd language. I am an #NIH funded #physician-researcher who believes in science & human compassion. I am a #childlesscatlady. I am well aware that I am everything this administration hates, and I have no intention of going quietly into the night. #medsky

One of my good friends told me that her 14yr daughter told her she "wanted to be like Thanh when she grows up". Who knew a cursing childless cat lady can be a role model! Seriously though, I was genuinely surprised and deeply touched.

Once more: When America was a reliable and generous ally, the western nations (around the world) bought into the US. We all spent money on American goods and services. We trusted American competence. Culture and sports travelled. Money money money flowed in to the soft power. That has now stopped.

Never did I ever expect a U.S. president to handle outgoing communications and international policy via poorly written tweets. How do you expect anyone or a country to take you seriously when everything you do and say is utterly childish or a lie? What an embarrassing moment in time 🙄

Waller Hugh Paton's picture from 1859 makes a symbolic, optimistic salute to the advancing technology of the mid 19thC. He was no doubt aware of Turner's 'Rain, Steam, Speed,' painted in 1844 which commented on the changing face of the landscape and society over a decade earlier.

Fitting the main rod. Dear God, well remember doing this on my favorite 10 wheeler, and wish I was there with them. I can even taste the acrid, poorly made engine house coffee…or in this case tea? Love to do this again while I’m able. youtube.com/shorts/7GqNu...

I put "trams" as one of my interests on my name badge at #atmosphereconf as a joke, but this before/after of Utrecht in the Netherlands is why... Urban spaces in North America are mostly awful, and traditional 19th/early 20th century spaces were torn down or filled in for highways

Humpback whales perform an incredible bubble feeding spectacle right in front of a lodge in Canada. Witnessing this behavior is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I nominate this cartoon by Steve Cousineau for a Pulitzer!

Well done. #NoKings

Never trust anyone who hates dogs. Never trust anyone who dogs hate.

There is still a signal box at Birkdale Merseyrail Station - I assume it is no longer in use. There used to be a number around the network.

Been thinking about this locomotive for a while now.

That’s just my two cents.

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

I mean, we all expected that right? No other reason to have those documents

picture, thousan words, etc etc

58 years, 7 days ago, in an area of Anam, Vietnam, seeing that U.S. troops were slaughtering Vietnamese villagers, Hugh Thompson landed his scout helicopter between fleeing villagers and pursuing troops and ordered his crew to “open up on them (US troops) if they open up on these civilians”. 1.

Happy Sunday! Next up is the Purple Martin. I'm looking forward to their return! They are so lovely to see and hear down in the bay. Some kind people put up nesting boxes on the remnants of an old dock. #bainbridgeislandbirds #pacificnorthwestbirds #birdart 🪶 #purplemartin

Robert Mueller was a patriot who served this country for his entire life. He fought and bled for the United States while many of the cucks who are attacking him did everything they could to avoid service. Nothing any of these subhuman shitstains say will diminish his legacy.
