I see the prompt for #Bright from #BlueSkyArtShow. So going with this image from last Sunday's hike at the #Oregon Coast. #HumansOfBlueSky #Cowboy #Beach #Hiking #📷 #ECK

Curious about our magnetosphere? Listen to the good Doctor! Plumb the secrets of The #Aurora! 🔭

Living wages vs. out of touch greed on the corporate end of many large companies has been an issue that needs addressed for decades, ending us up where we are now. Unaffordable housing, and costs of living, that continue to rise in the face of consistently low wages.

For today's #Scape I have a coastal view across tidal plains toward the cliffs of #CapeLookout on the #Oregon #coast. In the foreground is a #GBH (Great Blue Heron) looking for snacks. #LandscapePhotography #📷 #ECK #BlueSkyArtShow #Hiking #Nature #Birds #ForestFriday

Before the Summer ended this year, I visited a local dark sky site to do some casual work with my telescope and camera. I had no idea the local www.rosecityastronomers.net were there in force! What a fun night! And they showed me the Markarian Chain of #Galaxies! 🤯 #🔭 #📷

I'd kind of forgotten about this landing, which I thought was completely bonkers! Air bags + bouncing?!?! Then came the sky crane for Curiosity...🤯

This is an extraordinary story. And a very weird part of Oregon history.

It's another #WaterfallWednesday! This falls always captures everyone's attention that visits this canyon off the #ColumbiaGorge! Then they spot the big one at the end! 😆 With good light, sometimes rainbows play in this one! #ECK #Oregon #Nature #Scape #hiking #cliff #forest #bluesky

Thanks to all the folks sharing their joy and pics of this awesome Aurora event! It may have been a G4 storm, but the clouds in #PDX were G5 level. 😆

Some final aurora photos from me tonight, taken during the recent substorm at Coot Lake, Boulder CO. What a night! Let’s wait and see if tomorrow brings the expected round two.

Near the Utah/Wyoming border now

In better news! This has resulted in the NOAA Space Weather prediction center elevating the expected geomagnetic storm levels to G4 for November 12th. I believe this is referring to the early AM hours. Stay tuned...

Read that as; 'The attacks are, in fact, illegal. We want nothing to do with them.'

Oh ain't that a shame! Guess that chicken has come back to roost after all.

Aw, not so secretive now is it?

Had a really fun hike yesterday full of water birds, mushrooms popping, spooky coastal trees, and warm sun (t-shirt weather!!!), at the ocean beach! There will be pics...lol

One year ago, WTA asked you to protect climate progress by defending the #ClimateCommitmentAct. Ninety-five percent of funds have already been put to work on projects, touching every county in our state. Learn about some of the big projects funded by this act statewide 🌲

An affirmation of a right! 🏳️‍🌈

I just have to think the senators knew how much hot water this was going to be because we all had, what, an hour? to figure out what they were up to and call in, if we weren’t online on a Sunday evening we would have missed the whole thing

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:

Late submission for the #Stunday prompt today. I was out chasing around the Oregon Coast today. More on that later! This massive cloud cap couldn't hide all of #MountShasta, but the upper elevations over 10,000 feet were shrouded. #Mountain #snow #📷 #scape #MountainMonday #ECK #Nature #Clouds

Herbst in Berchtesgadener Land (Hintersee)

Days like this in the #Fall in the #PNW are not common! And seeing The #ColumbiaRiver still enough to reflect the Fall colors is rarer still! We *might* get another chance for these conditions this weekend! (11-8) #📷 #scape #LandscapePhotography #ECK #FallColor #PDX #nature #forest #reflection #OR

Democrats are so happy about Tuesday’s wins, they have forgotten that we have an opportunity to pick up a House seat in a few weeks. It’s a longshot, but Johnson is going to try to wait until Van Epps is seated to reopen the House, to cancel Grijalva’s vote. Every DNC resource should be in play.

Lise Meitner, who discovered nuclear fission and did the experiments that led Pauli to postulate neutrinos, is one of my heroes. She had to work twice as hard for everything, and did so much. I tell a bit of her story here: mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlosb...

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

Dear Physicists and Physics fans, I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th. Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩‍🔬

This popped up in one of my streams today, and I had completely forgotten that it existed! I loved it's quirky vibe back then! (~93') Purely kismet that my wallpaper happens to *be* Space! 😆 (Image my own) I'll post a link in the comments... #Music #90s

We’ve got updates on closures at Mount Rainier. Plus information on an upcoming fee-free day, sno-park passes and events this weekend with WTA. Here’s the news you may have missed while out on trail this week.

Waterfall vs. Fall! This past Sunday was glorious in the Columbia River Gorge. Tons of people out soaking in the light & colors before the rain closed in again! Great to see to good news this morning! #WaterfallWednesday #FallColor #ColumbiaGorge #Oregon #Fall #🍁 #ECK #📷 #LandscapePhotography #scape

This is worse than many realize, and largely forgotten. Just the way the administration wants.

"What is my worth?! Or more crudely, How much is that doggy in the window?" A #Corgi ponders an #existential idea, while waiting to see if snacks will be involved at some point. #MonochromeMonday #📷 #ECK #BlueSkyArtShow #dogs #waiting #reflection #PDX #StreetPhotography #snacks

Tonight's sunset from #WarRavagedPortland! 😆 Have a great evening folks, and keep your head up so you can see the truth. ✊🏻

PSA: Before this "dislike" thing gets out of hand, because I've seen some very big accounts misinforming people, here's what it actually is. It's a private option that lets you see less of topics you're not interested in on certain feeds. That's it. It's not a downvote, thumbs down, etc.

'I think you meant to ask...'

Remember that thousands of ghosts and supernatural creatures are going to be feeling rather lost today, after their special day is over. If you have crawlspaces or bedroom closets, or there's room in the void-space within your bathroom mirror, give them a home.

While out and about this #Halloween, remember to look up! #Spooktober

Tales from Halloweens past! 🌜👻 (Knock knock) Trick or Treaters at the door. I open it to see a toddler dressed as a classic vampire, including widows peak hair, and cape! And a taller girl in Princess regalia + 👑. Smiling parents behind. To the mini-vamp, "Good costume!" 🧵1/2
