I'm way more likely to pay extra for the Geology Lecture version of a flight than for checked bags
Lockwood DeWitt@lockwooddewitt.bsky.social · last wk.The geology we're flying over, and obvious changes in rocks and processes as we move onto new and different locations. (Focus on visible features, rather than researched & published info- interpret the landscape.)
I have never seen someone so flummoxed by the concept of feeding people lmao
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · last wk.Politics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.
Got to watch St Vincent absolutely demolish this chode's front-n-center leaden vibes last night

play is always at the heart of poetry. i believe this deeply. even when the subject matter is not fun, not joyful, even when it is very difficult (which is often the case), there's still play happening in the language, in the form, in the leaps & associations, in the ampersands, even in the silences

This was a poem I had to read a couple times before it *clicked*. Once it did, wow--so honored to have had Dale Going in PSP. I have her poems' last lines run through my head all the time. "--Dearie, it's like singing into a piece of toast."
Public School Poetry@publicschoolpoetry.bsky.social · 2mo agoRemembering the poet Dale Going, who was a joy to work with, and whose poem "This Is My Secret Society My Private Tribe," we nominated for a Pushcart Prize last year. Read the whole poem here: www.publicschoolpoetry.com/dale-going
This is a newly processed view of the largest volcano in the Solar System, Olympus Mons. It's 21 km tall. It's as wide as Arizona. Metropolitan LA fits inside its summit caldera. Its basal cliff is 7 km high. And it started to grow ~3.5 billion years ago but has lavas only 2 million years old.
