This view of the Milky Way was captured at Sunset Crater National Monument near Flagstaff, AZ, USA in 2018.

My co-workers and I were taking the back way into Flagstaff from a job site at the end of the day and pulled off the road to stargaze. I forgot my tripod at the hotel, so I positioned the camera on the truck tailgate, aimed towards the Milky Way, and took a couple dozen photos. This 10-image composition was the result!

Welcome to Mastodon! It's a laid back place. But here's a few simple rules you must follow:

1. Make an account on every fediverse server and create a unique introduction post for each one.

2. Put a content warning on any post that is tangentially related to the Irish Potato Famine.

3. Always use the hashtag #icomeinpeace. Otherwise, we will assume you are hostile.

4. When browsing Mastodon, remove your socks. It is customary.

5. Tell five of your friends to join. Yes, it's a pyramid scheme.

We have a sacred obligation to care for our veterans, those who risk everything to defend our nation, our values, and everything we hold dear.

It's one of the many reasons why I signed into law the PACT Act, expanding access to care and benefits for veterans and their survivors.

I’m bowled over by the people here and the wealth of ideas and creative pursuits. Almost everything interests me. I’m worried about the plight & the future of the world & seek ways to maintain balance with grace & humor while still working toward a better world.

I play classical piano, enjoy dancing, study French, garden, & am a home barista & coffee roaster/alchemist. I’m also interested in #music #photography #science and #art #classicalmusic #classicalpiano #VintageArt

"Miss Ukraine unveiled the costume she'll wear at the 2023 #MissUniverse pageant... The costume, titled Warrior of Light, was brought to life by Ukrainian designer Lesia Patoka... The project took her four months, which included extended periods with no electricity and having to work by candlelight and fighting the cold as the sirens wailed in the streets. β€œIn this image, there is a reference to Archangel Michael, the guardian angel, who protects #Ukraine with a sword..."

Toots like this make Mastodon feel like a secret club for inventors where we meet every Saturday in our treehouse to exchange parts and plans.

2022 started with the death of Betty White.

2023 is starting with the arrest of far-right extremist Andrew Tate.

2023 is gonna be a better year.

Sounds like a lot of people first heard of Andrew Tate yesterday. I wrote about him (and related misogynist trends) back in August.
