Holy wow you guys - the aurora is visible in Santa Fe!

Aurora in Northern New Mexico 🔭

I didn’t even know Aurora was possible in New Mexico. Surprise Surprise. #milkyway #aurora #newmexico #ghosttown

Aurora borealis over Santa Fe, New Mexico this evening.

First time ever witnessing the Aurora borealis, and in Santa Fe, New Mexico of all places! #northernlights #newmexico

Current sky 🌌

Northern Lights easily visible to the naked eye from Albuquerque, New Mexico! I thought the Sandias were named for the pink appearance of the mountains, not the sky... #aurora #northernlights #albuquerque #newmexico #sandiamountains #sandiaheights

Submit them to Aurorasaurus!!! They're an NSF funded project out of University of New Mexico that takes crowdsourced aurora observations for research purposes: www.aurorasaurus.org

The sky is gorgeous this evening in northern New Mexico #aurora #taos #nm

Hey rest of the United States!Head’s up! New Mexico oilman Steve Pearce is going to be nominated to lead the BLM. Millions of acres of pristine BLM land is vulnerable to mining & oil exploitation. Unleashed Steve will destroy our public lands. Call your reps and senators and block his appointment.

Back to work this morning, which involves sifting through the natural beauty and cultural diversity of the state. Definitely preferable to doomscrolling. #NewMexico #travel

I wonder how many people will change their party affiliation to Independent today, particularly in states with open primaries?

Gallup is about 20 square miles, with one of the longest continuous stretches of Route 66 in New Mexico, at about 13.5 miles. #Route66 #travel #VisitGallup #roadtrip #weekendgetaway #daytrip #funfacts #NewMexico

Along the Rio Grande… New Mexico…

Random thought...the FAA forced commercial airlines to cut flights by 10% to alleviate burden on air traffic control, but private air travel accounts approximately 1 in 6 flights handled by air traffic controllers (before they cut 10% commercial). The US = highest # of private jet flights globally.

The Trump Administration is preparing to potentially revoke a protective land order around Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico. 😡

#NoKingsAlbuquerque October 18. LOTS of people showed up. Each person has reasons. Those reasons may differ, but we are in the same boat. United we stand. Divided we fall. Personally, I appreciate the sense of community. 🙂

Moonlit Portal… Chaco Canyon, New Mexico…

In a few weeks parents will be hoping to fill stockings from Santa. 🎅🏼 So I’m thinking my two unopened bags may go to the food bank here in Santa Fe. It’s the Food Depot whose amazing head has been interviewed on MSNBC all week. I had the younger two fill a box to donate this week. #AT40 #FoodBank

The retailers will now attempt to do tone deaf XMas marketing as usual. 😑

For those of you in #Madrid New Mexico: #SNAP

I have volunteered for a local food project for a long time. The main food banks have arrangements with a variety of suppliers. A dollar donated to a food bank feeds more people than dollars spent directly on groceries donated. Food banks, pantries, and projects always need volunteers as well.

#NewMexico folks may find these handy. Spread the word; spread your generosity! 🍎🥔🥕🍅🥫 #FoodBanks

Burquenos: It's come to our attention that SNAP benefits may not be issued next month, and a lot of local families will likely feel that impact. For parents already doing their best to juggle everything, even small changes can make a big difference when it comes to keeping kids fed.

Random thought: many good articles are behind pay walls, while misleading or false content is free. As the economy deteriorates, access to information and facts can become a matter of disposable income.

🌌On the night of October 21-22, the Orionid meteor shower will reach its peak activity. The Orionids are fragments of Halley’s Comet, which Earth passes through every October. As these tiny comet bits slam into our atmosphere at around 41 miles per second.

Ranked choice voting might turn down the partisan vitriol significantly. I doubt either party would support the shift, because it would weaken their grip on candidates and cash.

Albuquerque Journal's page 3 coverage of the No Kings protest was disappointing. 🙄😒😑 That was probably the largest single day protest in Albuquerque's history, but the ABQ Journal devoted a lot of words to NM Republicans denouncing or dismissing the protests. Crap article.

The march was so huge it caught itself and people were taking another lap! Albuquerque came out strong, peaceful, and united. Organizers were making estimates in the high tens of thousands. #nokingsabq #nokingsalbuquerque #NoKings

The drone shots will show scope much better. There were a lot of drones in the air...and media helicopters. #NoKingsAlbuquerqueNM #NoKings

The modern GOP forgot about Schoolhouse Rocks? "No Kings" is a long-running cultural tradition. See you in 4 hours, #Albuquerque. #NoKings
