Today my husband asked me (because he thinks I know every damn thing for some reason)
"why can new life just start evolving now in some primordial soup from scratch like it did long ago? Why aren't there many different evolutionary trees with different starting points? Why one big tree?"
uuuuh I have some guesses but I don't know. π§΅
Ban Russia and Belarus from the #2024ParisOlympic and Paralympic Games.
"Russia is an outcast staging an unprovoked, aggressive, illegitimate, illegal war against Ukraine. And we should not allow the regime to have laureates from their country", says @gahler_michael.

@ScottSoCal I had a friend in Germany who made jewelry and he doesn't have any online presence, which I find very odd. He had a very unique name (Russian), so I'm sure he'd be easy to find if he was out there.
Norfolk Southern has a history of lobbying against safety regulations. Two years ago the union said that they were understaffed, that "just in time" BS was dangerous. And now an Ohio town is contaminated with toxic gas.
*very sarcastic slow clap*
This isn't getting enough news coverage despite lots of explosions and fire-- so if you don't know what I'm talking about please look it up.
Hi everyone! Iβm new to this platform. I am a queer, self-taught artist, designer, and zinester living in Miβkmaβki (Nova Scotia, Canada). My work revolves around radical love of the weird wildness of nature as a pathway to overcome self-criticism and truly come to love ourselves and others. Here are some of my favourite paintings from this year. #art #artist #introduction
Good morning from Dreadful Acres. Just had a fight with my coffee machine because yet again it brewed β contrary to my explicit instructions β a whole coffee without a cup under the spout. Naturally I have taken to my bed to recover from this trying episode. Which is why todayβs sunrise is once again photographed through my dirty bedroom window.

I bought a foldable solar power charger for my earthquake kit. It'll generate enough power to charge a laptop or phone, and has adapters so it's universal. Also a few bottle of gas, a camp grill, some pots and pans, a french press coffee maker, and a hand crank coffee bean grinder.
If I'm going to face the apocalypse, I'm doing it caffeinated.
During the first weeks Covid pandemic when we weren't 100% sure power stations would continue to run I seem to have tooled up on powerbanks but also three devices with cranks to power mobile phones and a little bit of solar. #powerbank
#Introduction Once I made a list of all the paid jobs I'd ever had and it was quite long. Highlights: couple of years in #theatre; #RestaurantManager; film & television production & distribution; #FilmArchive owner; reviewer; #MagazineColumnist.
Unpaid? voluntary performing arts #promoter, arts organisation board member, #community association member, #litterpicker #mum and #granny.
The reason why many of you are just hearing about #TyreNichols is that his death does not fit the narrative of the βunarmed black man killed by racist white police officersβ headline.
Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by 5 black #Memphis cops during a routine traffic stop.
Reports are that they beat Tyre Nichols until bones were protruding out of his skin. The victim was unrecognizable to his family.
This behaviour cannot be reformed.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
