The turtle enclosure is clean and Mikey swam like crazy before dinner.🐢🦐 Adding the filter made a huge difference, I can go a month before needing to do a full scale cleaning.🫧🧼

I still need to steam my shirts but I'm running out of steam myself.😴 Maybe I'll get one ready for tomorrow and then steam the rest tomorrow night, the days aren't long enough sometimes...

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. It's a puff for me then back to the grind.

I don’t like to mention that rich guy over at #Twitter, but he’s rambling on about #ClimateChange & agriculture, which is in my wheelhouse. And he is also unabashedly & absurdly wrong.

Misinformation on climate change is irresponsible & dangerous, so let’s be clear:

25% to 30% of global emissions come from our #food system.

As UT Austin’s Michael Webber describes, agriculture is a major cause, victim and - importantly - meaningful solution to #climate change.

I have this cat laying with me. He doesn’t care about my problems at work. He doesn’t care about Meta and the fediverse. He doesn’t care that Fedia.io’s database is a ​

He, for some reason, just wants to lay right here. Purring softly. Twitching now and then as he dreams. Apparently feeling safe.

He’s 17. I give him insulin injections twice a day and he has a shaved spot on his back with a glucose meter glued to his skin. Yet he still trusts me.

When I adopted him 17 years ago, he was a wreck. He peed on my couches, pooped on my bed. But he grew out of that.

He and I play games, even still today. i will act scared to see him and back away, and he will start chasing me.

He knows how to ask me for what he wants. I feel like I understand him sometimes.

I’m really am super lucky he put on a show when I was looking for a rescue to adopt all those years ago. He’s been an awesome cat.

Lacaille 9352 is a red dwarf star 11 light-years away. Relative to the Sun, it is smaller, cooler, and less luminous. We know of two planets there, and it's a possible target to image an Earth-size world with a future observatory! https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/eyes-on-exoplanets/#/star/GJ_887/

The thermostat in the fan in our room is currently reading 30°C.

This does not spark joy.

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of @jeffvandermeer's Annihilation: A Novel (The Southern Reach Trilogy Book 1), a surreal, bizarre book that didn't click with me, but which people I deeply respect loved.

It's just ... weird. And there are sequels.

The author is a hoot to follow, btw.

As usual, feel free to claim one, or tell other people about it, or do both! If you read it, please feel free to try to explain it to me.

The best spot.

I'm six years older than Joe Biden, and I just did months of performances on stage in London, 8x a week.

Age is a state of mind and body, and Joe is just fine, as am I. It's that other guy with the orange foundation who seems feebleminded and unhealthy.

The Chicago Defender reached its peak influence during World War I when it launched a campaign, starting in October 1916, to encourage black individuals to leave the South. The editorial page declared, "Farewell, Dixie Land," urging black men to relocate for the sake of their wives and daughters, seeking better treatment and recognition of their worth.

This is my missing (stolen) powerchair. If you see it around town being used as a luggage cart or chihuahua stroller, let me know!

On the slopes of Mount Gassan, colorful patches of snow are piquing the interest of Japan’s geoscientists. But what can these organisms tell us about climate change? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/06/25/national/science-health/snow-algae-blooms-japan-mountains/?utm_content=buffer64e9d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #news #japan #climatechange #yamagata #mountains #mountgassan #environment #ourplanet

Few days ago I've setup a non-federating video platform on https://u.fail for some fun and adorable content to create some smiles on faces.. 😺

I want to keep it ad-free and everyone can upload to 512M video's and 1GB for 'pro' (A little paid tier to pay for it all)

No account needed to browse some vid's and suggestions are welcome

Note for all for #media covering #uspol: If reporters are still referring to a hard-right operative/conspiracy theorist like RFK Jr. as a "Democrat" they are indirectly (or arguably directly) aiding & abetting Republican ratf*cking of Democratic primaries.

Worth passing this message on widely. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/rfk-kennedy-trump-maga-biden-2024-election-1234777035/
