No fib, I teared up too. Seeing this act of camaraderie and humanity in this team meant a lot. Watching Christina Hammock Koch try to deal with tears in zero g really got to me too! "Someone get her a tissue!" 🥹

Went for a fun hike Sunday! It was t shirt weather! 🤯 And mossy morning light was magical! ✨ #Hiking #PNW #Moss #Nature #Water #Forest #Green #Spring #EastCoastKin

Absolutely incredible Nutella ad.

Artemis 2 live coverage of it's passage around the moon has begun! Catch it here!

A bunch of tiny "Half White Carpet Moths" feasting on something they like! #moths #Oregon #PNW

NASA #Artemis II flyby coverage schedule; all times in Eastern. You can follow along live on NASA+ (plus.nasa.gov) or on the NASA YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@NASA). It should be amazing to watch!

🧵

Alert alert the astronauts are doing a livestream rn answering questions from kids and it is extremely wholesome and informational!

I see this graphic kicking around from NASA. And I can hear it already. 'Why isn't it going where The Moon is?' It is going to where The Moon WILL BE. They're meeting at that point. The Moon is moving. If they aimed at The Moon, it wouldn't stay in that spot. Make sense? 🧪 🚀 #Artemis2 🌕

I'm going to cap off the fun hike pics from Silver Star Mountain with a four pick of the surrounding mountains, and one of the peaks at Silver Star. #hiking #Mountains #PNW #Rainier #Tahoma #MtStHelens #Alpine #Snow #Forests #BlueSky #EastCoastKin #CascadeMountains #Volcanos #Geology 🧪 🏔️

It's #Scape day! Here's another from a Monday after work hike up Silver Star Mountain. It was a glorious clear day, but really windy and cold up there! This is the iconic #MountHood from about 35 miles NW. #Hiking #PNW #Mountain #LandscapePhotogrpahy #📷 #EastCoastKin #Cascades

I made a little Instagram reel about this image because it’s just so frickin’ cool

I'm relieved to hear that this is resolved!

Post Something Random Or You’ll Have An Awful April

I remember now why I love hiking Silver Star Mountain. That is Mount Saint Helens on the horizon, in case you're not familiar. #MtStHelens #Hiking #PNW #PDX #EastCoastKin #Scape #LandscapePhotography #📷 #Nature This was from this past Monday when I saw the mountains were out. NOW I'm sore. LOL

I was curious, so I looked it up... #Artemis2 #Tiangong #ISS whoisinspace.com Huh! Not the record, yet.

That was an incredible launch! I look forward to the rest of this mission! And hopefully a landing in 2028! #Artemis2 I got home just in time for the 10 minute hold, and kicked my roommates ass into gear to get it on their TV! They didn't regret it. Ad Luna!

Artemis II lifts off

Here's to a nice nominal launch for #Aretmis2!

Here's a BIG falls for your #WaterfallWednesday viewing pleasure! Like Falls Creek Falls that I've posted before, you can't see the entire waterfall from the base here. But you can see some of the next tier up. This thing is massive. #Hiking #PNW #ECK #📷 #Photography #Waterfall Full screen!

How my brain works from about 2:53 on, IF I do not employ my many many hard won, self developed squirrel brain filters. And even then...🤔 "Not too bad..."

Very important explanation and clarifications in this segment. Watch and learn. Trans lives matter! 🏳️‍⚧️

I went for a short hike yesterday afternoon, and one of the things I was hoping to see showed up! Yup, it's the moon again! 😆 I saw a bunch of other stuff too, but I'll get to that later... 😉 #Hiking #Moon #Luna #BlueSky

I had to get an image of the moon tonight, because due to local weather, I probably will not have an opportunity to take a picture of the full moon for the launch of Artemis II. So here's tonight's moon! #Moon #Luna #📷 #🌔 #Photography #ECK #BackyardAstronomy #Oregon 🔭 🧪

Trump claims that if the SAVE America Act is passed, Democrats "will never win another election"

Japan has more than fifty of these Underground Automated Bicycle Parking Systems installed. They are mostly in the cities of Osaka and Tokyo.

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Holy moly! Philly is showing up to march for No Kings!

Yeah, what she said!

Regarding an iconic 80s sound. I first heard this in 1983 on campus radio and loved it.

TOMORROW: Be a part of history! Show the world that the majority of Americans oppose the most corrupt, inept, criminal, orange "president" in U.S. History. NO KINGS. Also: NO SERIAL LIARS/CONVICTED FELONS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS & NO ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN Be there. Make your voices heard! 🇺🇸 ✊ #NO_KINGS

If it's visible where you are, go look at the Moon. We've got a really nice one! #Moon #Luna #📷 #🌔 #Photography #ECK #BackyardAstronomy #Oregon 🔭 🧪

This is Luna. She has a permanent grumpy face because she had distemper as a puppy. She has enormous ears because we assume one of her parents was a jackrabbit. Still 13/10 (IG: lunasmom13)

Repost this to amplify please.

There are "No Kings" rallys happening nationwide this March 28th! Here's a tool to help you find someplace nearby to participate!

FACT OF THE DAY. 26 March 1953. In a huge medical breakthrough, US medical researcher Dr Jonas Salk announced that he had created the first polio vaccine. Polio cases fell from 58,000 per year in 1952 to 6,000 by 1958. Salk’s vaccine was replaced by a new one developed by Albert Sabin in 1962.

Post a non religious picture you think of as holy (🔊)

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

This one turned out much better!

Here's a real short clip from a winter visit to Tamanawas Falls. Repeat as needed. #WaterfallWednesday #Hiking #Oregon #MountHood #Snow

I love that many of his posts are teaching things, and positive. Much like this one.

That time I went to #MesaArch. I managed to get no other photographers in the shot! #📷 #Stars #Utah Tap the image and turn yer phone... 👆🔄📱

Seriously, wait for it! 😍

Aaron Rupar’s Public Notice newsletter interviewed me about my push for the news media to report loudly on Trump’s dangerous mental unfitness. “They don’t want to make themselves part of the story by calling him out," I said. "They’re afraid he will direct his deranged behavior toward them."

Probably not. And certainly not as dramatic as the graphic. For either one to become naked eye visible is a stretch. For them to be visible like this together is a lie. 🧪 🔭 starwalk.space/en/news/upco...
