DST causes so much more harm than good. If you need time to golf, go into work an hour early and take off an hour early. a 24% increase in heart attacks, plus an increases in auto and other accidents for several days after the change is too high a price!

Virginia Senate will vote on ditching Daylight Saving Time in a few days! Tell your VA state senators YES on SB541! www.votervoice.net/ditchDST/Cam...

This will be the third year of this orchid blooming in spring.

“Valentine Time”

Virginians, use our form to tell your state legislators YES on SB541, to ditch DST in coordination with neighboring states! www.votervoice.net/ditchDST/Cam...

Finally, some sanity in the news.

The volume of people misunderstanding Daylight Saving Time is astounding.

Karin and I were co-residents! Ditch DST!

@savestandard.bsky.social My people! Fight the good fight!

If a paid lobbyist calls you a “freak” and accuses you of “melting down” and “malding” for quoting data, you have the right to block. If he then uses an alt to call you “petty”, “touchy”, and “scientifically illiterate”, you have the right to block the alt and to subtweet him.

thank god someone with the correct take on this. Save Standard. Ditch Daylight.

I moved to AZ 4 years ago and I love the organic feel of standard time.

Save standard time!

Year round standard time is the only sane choice, and we haven’t even tried it in over 50 years. I mean, can we at least TRY it?!

Orchid update: Buds budding.

Summer’s early sunrises aren’t a problem, thanks to summer’s late sunsets:

The morning light is finally starting to come ever so slightly earlier, but slowly enough that there is a part of me that wants to shake every fool who thinks year long daylight saving time would be a good idea.

Standard Time is the natural clock, set to the sun. Daylight Saving Time is the fast clock, set to force earlier waking. Our nonprofit is based in Fountain Hills, just east of Scottsdale.

Standard time indeed the best. We already tried year round DST. It was hated so much it was abandoned after the first year.

Taking a moment today to remember Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, who died during the Apollo 1 plugs-out test #OTD in 1967. This image, taken on 2nd Jan 1967, shows the Apollo 1 prime crew in front of their Apollo Saturn 204 on Launch Complex 34. Image: NASA 7PC-0016 #NeverForgotten

Farmers hate DST. Especially dairy farms when you have to change milking times. Not good for consistent and healthy milk production. Farmers do best on standard time. Always.

End Daylight saving time! It serves no real purpose.

Four lives lost in Florida, three children injured (one critically) in Miami (where permanent Daylight Saving Time changed sunrise from 7:08am EST to 8:08am EDT)—on this day in 1974.

DST is a form of mind control. It is absolutely evil.Manipulating circadian rhythms causes people to become discombobulated.This then leads to innumerable social problems. Live in Arizona for at least two years and you will understand that DST is a scam.

Most adults in the US wake at or before 6:30am. Morning is when sunlight is most essential to health.

The post that I’m quote-posting below is a common misunderstanding. Daylight Saving Time was created to profit shopping and golfing. The myth that DST helps farmers was invented by the shopping/golfing lobbyists.

Yes, and USE REAL TIME (permanent Standard Time). bsky.app/profile/save...

Thank goodness México did away with DST 3 years ago! It's contrary to human mental and physical health, to change the clocks twice a year, as well as NOT cost effective.

Make Noon Noon Again ! Sundialers for Standard Time !

Arizona has long been on Standard Time and everyone functions perfectly fine on permanent Standard Time.

Hoping a decision in favor of standard time will be made soon.

Abolish DST! Leave the clock where it is!

when trump said that he wasn’t at all saying that out of care or anything if he doesn’t care about science. i don’t even know why he said that. nonetheless this is still something we gotta fight for. if i can’t do national level, i’ll do state level (new york)

Orchid says yes to the New Year.
