I couldn't get more than 3 in a photo at a time but there are about a dozen ravens circling over me making sure everyone knows it's the autumn equinox. They are so loud and excited about it. 😂🖤

100%. I saw Don Henley on the End of the Innocence tour. It was great musically, ethically, & brought people together. I saw Cake shortly after 9/11. They not only handled the fear, anger & pain people were suffering, but made sure to remind people that not all ethnicities are extremists.

last night we had ed sheeran apologizing for saying what’s happening in palestine is bad and at the same time david byrne putting up a huge graphic that says MAKE AMERICA GAY AGAIN and showing footage of ICE brutality to a sold out crowd. you can actually be famous and successful AND give a shit.

I wrote up this story about my mom's survival from polio and its connections to world history, family lore, & current events: katestarbird.substack.com/p/a-family-t... We need to keep telling our stories of the world before vaccines — to prevent ourselves from having to live in a world after them.

A Family Tree, Nearly Broken by Polio

As MAHA leaders call the polio vaccine a "fraud," an old family photo tells the story of the world before vaccines — and warns of the risk of forgetting.

My mom had polio when she was five. She was living on a US military base in Japan (1947). Four kids on the base died. She was the only survivor.

Around Orion from The Denton Observatory ~•~ It seems appropriate? serendipitous? as the days cool & shorten and the wildflowers & bees senesce, with longer nights & darker mornings, a new and different season of beauty arrives. —— Seestar S50 Orion Nebula ≈20 min Flame & Horsehead nebulae ≈50 min

The Great Orion Nebula through an astrophotography telescope From Wikipedia: The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula in the Milky Way situated south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion,[b] and is known as the middle "star" in the "sword" of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky with an apparent magnitude of 4.0. It is 1,267.0 ± 5.4 light-years away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. M42 is estimated to be 25 light-years across (so its apparent size from Earth is approximately 1 degree). It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun.The Horsehead and Flame Nebulae in Orion taken with an astrophotography telescope From Wikipedia: The Horsehead Nebula is a small dark nebula located about 1,375 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion molecular cloud complex. It appears within the southern region of the dense dust cloud known as Lynds 1630, along the edge of the much larger, active star-forming H II region called IC 434. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of its resemblance to a horse's head. The bright star Alnitak (ζ Ori), the easternmost star in the Belt of Orion, appears very close to the Flame Nebula in the sky. But the star and nebula are not physically associated with one another. The Flame Nebula contains a young cluster of stars which includes at least one hot, luminous O-type star. The dense gas and dust in the foreground of the nebula heavily obscures the star cluster inside the nebula.

Today is off to a fun start! On the way back from the post office I finally saw the local Screech Owl! Then just as I was about to get out of my truck, a handsome little fox trotted by. I've seen them nearby before, but not at my house.

The German version of my latest essay is out: A Far-Right International Is Assaulting Democracy MAGA and the AfD are united in a struggle against democratic pluralism that transcends national borders. It is an alliance of extremists defined by aggrieved revanchism.

Eine Völkische Internationale tritt zum Angriff auf die Demokratie an

MAGA und de AfD sind im Kampf gegen den demokratischen Pluralismus vereint. Es ist eine Allianz von Extremisten, die sich einem gekränkten Revanchismus verschrieben haben
