New article! A lot happened this week, so I wrote about how Antonin Dvorak wrote his greatest works in Spillville, Iowa in the summer of 1893. And about saying goodbye: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/dvorak-liv...

A new study finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers, including oil companies.

While there are some great journalists on @msnbc.com and @cnn.com, the CEOs are fascist-friendly. MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd for telling the truth. They fired black and brown hosts during Black History Month. They will only get worse, and your support helps them.

This is wonder, too! 🦉🌙✨

🌙 If you are a parent, you should offer yourself a moment of wonder and joy, and read this 🌱🦉🎻 #EastCoastKin #ArtYear #Parenting #Hope #Journalism #Art #Thoughts #Music #Dvorak #Dvořák (because someone, probably violinists and pianists, will know the marks) 😃

Strongly radioactive cuprosklodowskite gets its name from sklodowskite & Marie Skłodowska-Curie. Ikaite occurs in truly spectacular towers or columns (up to 18 m) growing out of the Ikka Fjord in SW Greenland, floor towards the surface. As a marine geophysicist I have to vote for it. #MinCup25

Okay, that's enough photos of endotherms. Back to bugs! Here is your Saturday Stink Bug, a very pretty little nymph spotted recently in Montana. I love the speckling on this quarter-inch critter. 🌿🐙 #insects

I love Helen Mirren. I always have, for years. But these last couple of decades? I exalt her now! 🌙🙏👏 Writing, writing, writing, then writing some more, these days. I have a couple of grants deadlines approaching. Life can be exciting. It can also be a lot of work! 💙 Cheers to all of you folks🦉✨

“Because in the end, that is what you are left with — your work. The more you own that, the better off you will be. In the immortal words of Whitney Houston: 'No matter what they take from me, they can’t take away my dignity.' And in the equally immortal words of Whitney Houston: 'Kiss my ass.'” ⬇️

Why am I suddenly channeling Yul Brynner? 🧑‍🦲🌙 🐝 This is a great post people! A little shot full of happiness for this Thursday, and a toast to you all for a happier weekend to come🥂 Back to work for me ⛑️

Thanks! BTW new wildflowers are blooming in STL and I thought of you. I always look for this tree stump on the lake because so many different flowers grow on it at once (not the best pic but you get the gist)

🦉There's another introductory post I've done for my BardicArts Substack site (I needed something up on it as it's my landing) but before I post it here later, I'll not waste a good opportunity to repost this one tonight🌙 #photography #nature #nationalparks #ArtYear #EastCoastKin #appalachians #art

The letter, called the “Katrina Declaration,” strongly criticized President Trump’s proposal to significantly reduce FEMA’s role and push more of the disaster response burden onto others.

🦉 Has anyone seen Alt National Parks post anything lately? I just searched for them and can't seem to find them 🪔 Is there something I should know?

I am, once again, asking astronomers not to keep coming up with new and inventive ways to make my life difficult. *takes off archive hat* HEY THIS NEW PLANET IS SUPER COOL, @mattkenworthy.bsky.social, @ericmamajek.bsky.social! www.eso.org/public/image...

A dog-day cicada for #invertefest 🐡 When I was a small child I thought the sound made by these cicadas during the dog days of summer was caused by the heat itself.

I took a holiday near Ballyconneely and took some bog photos with a camera I got last year and haven't had a chance to play with yet.

Note that this article was published in June, before Epstein reentered the news cycle. But he was always at the center of everything, along with Netanyahu. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/heat-exhau...

Aspen trees are growing taller in Yellowstone thanks to wolves that prey on elk, which graze on trees.

I was supposed to be taking a much-needed break this week but my HVAC died and the repair set me back over 10K, so back to work I go. Anyone who wants to support my writing and research and make sure I don’t lose my house, subscribe here: sarahkendzior.substack.com

I wrote THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP to get a break from covering Epstein, but Epstein interrupted my break. Posting this excerpt because I can't believe people are now pretending his crimes weren't so ubiquitous in the news in 2019 that even children knew the truth. www.thelastamericanroadtrip.com

I'm quite proud of my niece, friend, and fellow artist and writer. For this reason below. She's a great writer!

I am still experimenting with #panorama merge in Lightroom. This is a result of 4 photos taken in portrait mode. The photo is a bit dark and murky, because it was, well, kind of dark and murky. Maybe someday I will overcome my laziness and use a tripod. #Scape #PanoPhotos #MobilePhotography 📷

🌙 No matter the age or the origin of what we see, we are looking at splendor made by the interaction of humans & the land. No matter the peoples, no matter the language, the color of our skin or lineage. We were once part & parcel of terrain like this #ArtYear #EastCoastKin #Scape #Landscape #Photo
