As the Artemis II crew journeys to the Moon, these images are a reminder of our shared home and humanity. At Easter, as the world reflects on hope and renewal, Gabby and I pray for strength, and for the fighting in Iran, Ukraine, and elsewhere to give way to dialogue and peace.

Cherry trees in Jackson Park have protection against beavers. 🍒 🦫

Plus, libraries buy your books (or lease the licenses for e-books, as you point out), so authors get paid. Libraries are often the biggest purchasers of books, especially if they get high use and have to be replaced. I love when authors include library use as support of authors.

I joined Amanpour & Company to talk about why "working homeless"—a term that should be a scandal—has become an ordinary fact of American life. 40% of officially-counted homeless people have jobs. And that's before we get to the millions who are rendered invisible, who are never counted at all.

Rooftop solar has come out of nowhere and is now 20% of Puerto Rico's energy generation mix -- more than natural gas.

Study for “Homage to the Square: Consent” by Josef Albers, 1971 https://botfrens.com/collections/212/contents/137253

It took decades for me. All that time lost, all those medication side effects that were endured for years. So many people still don't think it is real. I was one of them.

wish I was easy to find a psych who understands that if they treated my adhd that my other symptoms would lessen cuz im on psych number 3 and he doesn’t get it either. “set an alarm” “write yourself a note” my guy I need the bees in my brain to be quiet.

I wouldn’t say foisted, she naively ran to oppose a popular incumbent & didn’t realize that there already were a number of progressives in the district with bonafides (ehem Mike Simmons) who already held political office & would run to succeed Schakowsky. It was an unlikely strategy to succeed.

I stopped reading The Onion since Ben Collins tried to foisted his girlfriend on my congressional district.

Why are these signs only seen in suburban subdivisions? Kids live all over in urban areas, these should be posted on every city street

Incidents since last June where CPD seem to have cooperated with ICE/CBP or abbetted their activities were the focus of a special CCPSA meeting in January. For months people have called for Snelling to attend a meeting and explain how he squares those incidents with the Welcoming City ordinance.

One speaker says he had a fed point a gun at him and threaten him, only for a CPD officer to tell him there was nothing they could do. He's half talking to the commission, half chewing out Supt. Snelling, who's at the front far end of the auditorium.

Thank you @bittelmethis.bsky.social for calling me up to talk about what we can ALL learn from rats. “One of the things I’ve learned from rats is to thrive where you are and not where you wish you were,” says Brookshire. bigthink.com/science-tech...

You can tell Trump knows he’s in deep political trouble because he’s fighting like hell to stay on the teleprompter. It won't work.

If you watched the live NASA channel and all the NASA programming you’ve gotta give it up to some of the best science commentators in the business. NASA is absolutely masterful at this and it’s important to note this is a priority for them. Not many other govt orgs do this level of public education.

There are more accessible toilets in space than in any area in America where the homeless live.

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!
