Amazing - watching Starship Flight 12 deploy their test payload in space

WTF?! How heart breaking 💔 Rest in peace, Kyle

Says the guy who thinks through the roof credit card spending is a positive thing!

planned obsolescence 😡

Dusting this thing off to say Happy New Year! I hope the first week is off to a good start for you.

Like everyone else, I’m in awe of Faizan Zaki’s big win at the National Spelling Bee—especially after coming so close last year (huge congrats, Faizan!). I couldn’t help getting distracted by the trophy. It was designed by Rookwood Pottery in Cincinnati back in 2019. What a great looking trophy!

Today we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. #MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember

Disappointed that @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social didn’t lead with the #HandsOff protests. It took 20 minutes to get there when it should have been their top story.

I almost never order food delivery but tonight I ordered some chicken wings. Sorry Uber Eats I only tip based on my order total - not including the taxes and fees - that's effing insulting.

Optimism is important. This was a good read from Robert Reich open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

It's Valentine's Day, so you know what that means: BEES. Alongside being the patron saint of love, plague, epilepsy, and fainting, Saint Valentine is also associated with beekeepers. As such, we thought we'd share a few of our favourite hives today. Here's a thatched cottage in Waddesdon, 1880!

St Valentine's keys are traditionally given to unlock the giver's heart. Valentine was a Roman priest who was caught marrying couples & refused to give up his Christian faith. Executed on 14 February 269 AD, it was not until the 14th century that his feast day became a celebration of romantic love.

Good to know Senators are standing up to Trump!

Imbolc, an ancient Gaelic-Celtic feast which marks the midpoint between winter and summer., reminds us that spring is on the horizon. The long darkness of winter is fading as the light continues to return. Wishing you a joyful and hopeful Imbolc! 🌿🔥 #Imbolc #spring #pagantraditions #witchsky

Ah loves, just noticed this weekend is #Imbolc marking the beginning of spring. Imbolc symbolizes the halfway point between the winter solstice (Yule) and the spring equinox (Ostara). Imbolc is often celebrated with fire rituals. Look out for snowdrops, miraculous light in the dark times.

Thread: Saturday is Imbolc, which celebrates the first day of Spring in Ireland. It is an ancient Gaelic-Celtic feast & is also marked as St Bridget’s Day, its Christian re-incarnation. In schools children make Bridget’s crosses to celebrate it. (pictured: Hill of Tara)

Proud to be a Costco member!

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Until I saw this, I didn’t realize just how much I needed to see penguins in sweaters this morning.

So excited for the Connect-a-Thon kick-off that starts in 2 minutes! #WikiTree #ConnectAThonXIII

With the roads clear, our household ventured out for breakfast this morning. I captured some lovely photos of the morning sun glistening on the ice still clinging to the tree branches. After an hour in the crisp, sunny air, I see the icicles starting to melt from a tree in our front yard. #atlwx

Over by the southern edge of Lake Lanier, what has been mostly rain for several hours is now freezing rain. The ice is accumulating on tree branches quickly and we have at least 5 more hours of precipitation to go. #atlwx #gawx

Speaking of snow...it snowed pretty here for a couple of hours but has now changed over to sleet. I guess I can get some work done now that I'm not distracted by the pretty snowfall outside my window. #SnowinGA #atlwx #gawx #Atlanta

Oh to love snow as much as these two! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebcC... #BaoLi #QingBao #NationalZoo #Pandas #SnowDay

I've signed up for the Appalachian Roots team. I will be connecting distant cousins from Carbondale, Pennsylvania to my 4th great-grandparents from Decollatura, Italy. #ConnecAThonXIII #CollaborativeGenealogy #Genealogy

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

Be truthful - not neutral

I felt so many "warm chills" while watching this moving ceremony earlier today.

It’s been over 36 hours since I turned off the TV after watching CNN New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson and Andy, but I just got major mental whiplash turning CNN back on and seeing Anderson doing a live report from the French Quarter

Absolutely! I decided to step away from news and social media earlier today until accurate information could be confirmed. Instead, I enjoyed watching some of the New Year's Parade in London and followed by some of the Rose Parade—it was a nice break from all the "news" and finger-pointing.

Happy New Year! Without downloading any new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025?

nervously waiting on additional updates 🙏

Reported fatalities in New Orleans as vehicle apparently slams into Bourbon Street crowd #news #worldnews

I’m not in the mood to put on makeup before going out tonight. Can I just wear a photo filter instead? #NYE

I'm still watching the 1st quarter of the Alabama-Michigan game, but I couldn’t resist peeking at the latest updates. Looks like Alabama still hasn’t found any rhythm. Is it still raining in Tampa? Because they sure don’t seem to know how to play in the rain! #CFB

This is how I answered the phone when my boss called earlier today—and he couldn’t stop laughing! What’s your favorite Gen X siren call? #Wazzup #GenX #GenXUnite

My Yuletide Sacred Space - the vintage Lefton Holly Berry ceramics were passed down to me by my great-grandmother. The light blue snowflake ceramic pieces were made by me in 2023 and 2024. #SacredSpaces #YuleGoat #ceramics #witchsky

5 yrs. ago I learned to spin yarn. Over the years I've spun more than knitted, so my goal for 2025 is to use more yarn. Well, it's not 2025 yet, but I’m spinning more thanks to this beautiful drop spindle and yarn bowl my brother gave me for Christmas! #spinningyarn #handspinning

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

BBC had an article about scientists unveiling 50,000-year-old baby mammoth remains but the article also linked to this article for November where a cute 32,000-year-old saber-tooth kitten was found in Siberia. www.discoverwildlife.com/prehistoric-... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Two years ago was our first Grinchmas. It seemed appropriate since I had to start chemo 10 days before Christmas. Last holiday season I was still recovering and not in much of a festive mood - hench Grinchmas 2.0. No Grinchmas this year. I am thankful for my health this holiday season.
