I think about this post a lot these days

A Panasonic rice cooker from the local Asian grocery. Got it in college because my (now) husband heard about this cool appliance that could just cook rice. It cost like $15 and we’ve been using it to make perfect rice for 20 years

Holy fuck, Amsterdam is rowdy on a Saturday night

Bucatini. Like, whose great idea was “it’s like spaghetti but impossible to eat”

I think people in the US secretly love tipping culture because the can feel better than someone for just a little bit

IC 1396: The Elephant’s Trunk #nebula. This natural-color image was taken from a dark-sky location in Colorado. The trunk is the column of dust in the center. It sits in a huge region of ionized hydrogen with reflections from giant yellow stars #astrophotography #astronomy #space #photography

So iOS 26 is just Windows Vista? I can deal with this

To my family: here it comes

Happy #caturday from a sleepy Oscar! #cats #catsky

Orange #cat intensifies

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

Everyone’s worried about an overbearing HOA but no one tells you that an anemic one is just as bad

Oh hey, my basement is flooding again

Pleeeeassee 😭

This month's astrophoto is the North American Nebula + Pelican Nebula. This huge star-forming region lies about 2500 lightyears from earth. These nebulae are actually the same cloud of glowing hydrogen separated by a band of obscuring dust in the foreground. #astrophotography #photography #space

Sleepy kitty #caturday

He’s /so/ good at this

I shouldn’t have cackled as hard as I just did

Rob Sand, Dem candidate running for Governor in Iowa on school choice.

Got the chance to do some #astrophotography this weekend! This is ~8.5hrs on the Iris Nebula: a bright reflection nebula near the North Celestial Pole. My first time shooting IFN, I’m so excited at how much dust I got! (Full resolution at app.astrobin.com/i/di6fqb) #space #photography

Found a new music tonight. This is a ton of fun

Who else is having a GCP party today?

It’s that kind of #caturday

I, for one, am tired of [gestures broadly]. I have grown weary of [points in all directions simultaneously].

okay apparently we're all having Cubist Boob Weather for the forseeable future

My Sharpstar 15028 HNT came in this week and I was desperate to get first light. I traveled 3 hours to avoid weather and shot Markarian's Chain. All in all, I'm pretty pleased. Collimation really straightforward thanks to an OCAL. 60 x 300s #astrophotography #photography #space

Guess who got a new telescope! 🤦‍♂️ #astrophotography

Oscar is getting more confident on the leash #caturday #catsky #cats

Did my first hut trip to Ken’s Cabin this weekend. Unseasonably warm temperatures meant this hike was 6 slushy miles of post-holing — even with snowshoes Still, #Colorado never ceases to disappoint #photography #hiking #camping

Oscar has decided that this is how I work now #caturday

I’m back from visiting #portland #oregon for the first time. My husband and I spent most most of our time in the city but spent one whole day exploring the coast. It’s a beautiful and quirky place #photography

Oh look, it’s the Torment Nexus “A recent study … evaluated the ethics of “the digital afterlife industry” and … these businesses may soon realize there’s even more money to be made by requiring people to pay subscription fees or watch advertisements” (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/o...

Imagine you're being summoned. What gif represents that?

Reskeet a photo someone else took of you that you don't hate

“Get your shit together, Todd.”

No cheating, post the last photo of your pet

Discworld QOTD, from Eric “Any wizard bright enough to survive for five minutes was also bright enough to realize that if there was any power in demonology, then it lay with the demons. Using it for your own purposes would be like trying to beat mice to death with a rattlesnake.”

First day back at the gym in 4 months. It went way better than I feared!

I like running, I really do. I just wish I could take an extended break sometimes without my brain melting down with crippling social anxiety

Oscar is sooo cozy tonight #caturday

Oscar is no worse for the wear after his last round of kitten vaccinations #caturday

I got just over 5h on Markarian’s Chain last night. It’s almost #galaxyseason! #astrophotography #astronomy #photography
