War Crimes Challenge: I tally z least 8 war crimes as defined by international law the US helped draft and signed on to; what do you get? Bonus Round: Which Crimes Against Humanity has he committed (Article 7)? ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treat... www.icc-cpi.int/sites/defaul...

It's my birthday. And this is the first thing I'm doing now that I'm fully conscious and up to speed on the psychopath's latest war crimes as legally defined by the Geneva Accords the US helped draft. (Article 8.) Please, do the same.

My new favorite photo

Oh, wow. So many other worlds visible in the background of the Artemis II view from eclipse, peeking out of the haze of the solar corona. Thanks @tunctezel.bsky.social for labeling!

My personal highlight for yesterday's historic #artemis #lunarflyby : During Victor Glover's vivid reporting on the "scifi" solar eclipse, my cat Luna — who'd been scared, silent, and hiding under the bed when I adopted her and her mom a year ago — came over and started yelling at me for attention😅

I guess you can love someone to the moon & back.

What this also means: We should be grateful for our atmosphere 👀

They also posted this one Artemis didn't get closer than 4000km Block em

The way I balled 😭 hearing message from #Artemis II pilot Astronaut Victor Glover. 🫶🫶 #MoonFlyBy

Deadline for comment TODAY- March 23 - STOP Trump from razing remaining old growth trees of Oregon, ignoring risks to endangered species, and "maximizing" timber production in national parks/forests (ie letting private corporations pillage public lands) birdallianceoregon.org/take-action/...

The Antarctic has passed a tipping point. But let's burn more oil & build data centers.

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

I tend not to log onto BlueSky because I never used it enough to learn its filtering functions, and I don't always have the strength to face the Horrors. And then I return and immediately rant about the Horrors, because of course, I am horrified. M🍑M🍑M🍑. That's all.

The world was saved because a human being didn't trust a computer.

i am sad and dealing with severe eye discomfort thanks to covid-aggravated autoimmune issues and my pharmacy sneaking me a generic that is NOT THE SAME. If this has set off a flareup so my t cells are attacking my cornea again, I will be PISSED. Anyway here is my cat being cute to cheer me up.

@dr999.bsky.social @kenbentley.bsky.social Not sure if David's still in charge of Fifth Doctor range, but Sarah Sutton confessed at #Gally1 last weekend that she enjoys true crime tv. Might raid actors' tastes for story ideas, eh 😉? Although you had Mistpuddle Murders, but that was fantasy crime.

Post a tree you photographed

It's amazing how well Randall understands astronomers

Phone managed to cut through the glare of kleig lights (jk) on the @gallifreyone.bsky.social stage and catch most of our @bigfinish.bsky.social guests. #Gally1

My favorite writing error, misplaced apposition. *sheds a tear in memory of my beloved mentor, who tried so hard to exorcise me from this curse.*

Cats secretly rule the world.. 😅

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Remembering Elisabeth Sladen on what would have been her 80th birthday. Here are some rarely seen photos from Big Finish recording sessions.

So snazzy. I love the outfit, but your dedication to the part with the sonic caught my eye. I was kicking myself later for not taking your picture! #gally1

Fantastic t shirt on Peter Davison. #gally1

I'm glad for Europe to break away from US hegemony, I just hate the reason. And I hate letting down Ukraine plus vulnerable groups inside and outside the US. France's move helps by pressuring the oligarchs who control US media. Bezos & Zuck can conceal mass protests, but not sinking profits.

My thoughts on AI, after seeing a very liberal (and ostensibly pro-environment) friend post blatant AI slop as if it were cute...

This dear lady hooked me on #DoctorWho with her space elf character — in Time Flight, of all things — during my first glimpse of the show 43 years ago. Sarah, consummate actor, usually has no IDEA what Nyssa is talking about, but sounds convincing. One trait they share: she is SO sweet. #Gally1

The only person in the universe who *might* be able to keep these two in line. #Gally1 @gallifreyone.bsky.social #DoctorWho #cosplay #FourthDoctor #Romana #SpyMaster

@barnabyedwards.bsky.social Feels self-indulgent to go to a con these days, but the kids are all right. Giving me deja vu to the 80s, in an odd way— community coming together with extra kindness during a time of existential threat. #gally1 @gallifreyone.bsky.social

In 2021 I directed the voice cast for an animated movie about cats. It's taken five years to animate, so it's with great joy and not a little surprise, that I see it's about to get a release! youtu.be/54hM5tsS_SA?...

@barnabyedwards.bsky.social Found a new Dalek for you at @gallifreyone.bsky.social this year. Steel drums and scratchboard music. #gally1 #DoctorWho

ha ha that's great! I think I saw a Thirteen with her husband as Yaz, too! (This is the future liberals want: have fun and stop gatekeeping things that are just different phone wallpapers)

Attention #Gally1 @gallifreyone.bsky.social - Next to airport, but cloud cover 3% — which will win, light pollution or my telescope? Answer: my 'scope by the pool tonight saw Orion Nebula, Jupiter, and Flame Nebula—NO AI, just digital stacking (2-4 minute exposure to sift real photons from noise)

Folks, I know y'all are tired. So am I—born with arthritis, this admin is the biggest threat to my health. But we can't let them wear us down. Congress & the @housedemocrats.bsky.social show a hint of spine when we push hard, but ONLY when we clog their phones. CALL. This makes it easy: 5calls.org

Anna's #hummingbird Found this little guy banging weakly on upstairs window. He must've flown in when the garage was open, with patio glass door visible through the kitchen. I was worried, but once he tanked up at the honeysuckle outside my patio, he rocketed up and zipped away.

Oh, you want little guys? I'VE GOT LITTLE GUYS.

Trying to decide which of my No Blood For Oil signs to bring out. The one from Bush 41? Bush 43? The other one from Bush 43? These chucklefucks are all the same: they can't govern, and when the stupid people who voted for them start to notice their failure, here comes the lawless invasion.

Feeling really depressed yesterday and couldn't squeeze a sketch out until after midnight, when I was curled up in bed with my cats. Sometimes I do better just fingerpainting on my phone. #myart #procreate

Bio Update: Childless cat lady, currently looking after Mama Mimi (left) and hija Luna (right). Journeyman oil painter, chronic illness haver, Doctor Who fan, lifelong learner, and Californian.

Merry Christmas for those who celebrate. May the best parts of the holidays outshine the hassle, and may you find time to rest and enjoy comfort with those you love.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day21 The world of fanfic is strange and wonderful, and someday you may be inspired to draw Peter Davison as a werewolf. (No, it's not THAT kind of fic. In the #AlbertCampion novels, an alleged witch curses him. A friend of mine wrote a fun "what if the curse worked?" AU.)

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230. No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech. We can't let this happen. Share & take action www.badinternetbills.com

#ArtAdventCalendar Day20 - Pen & ink portrait of the late, great Jean Marsh in her role as Morgan Le Fay in 80s #DoctorWho. Wish I'd gotten this one autographed before she passed last spring.
