#It’sTheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt #Climate Who imagined we would actually arrive in this place? 40 years of warnings, hard core denial, today the artic melts, forests burn, oceans simmer, and we respond with yap yap, maneuvering for our individual advantages, killing each other, while seemingly oblivious, ignoring impending calamity, unable to change, basically helpless to to do anything but watch with fascination at the approaching apocalypse. Are we worthy? 😬

Getting to the Moon River Waterfalls is sometimes quite tricky depending on the water level. On this day we managed to boat to this spot on the river as beyond this point was too treacherous for the boat. The water levels were quite high and the falls were wild.

Normally, I'm a big believer in Hanlon's razor: don't attribute to malice that which can be explained with incompetence.
But in some cases, you have to acknowledge that the distinction is pointless because either way, a marginalized group is being brutalized. Either you fight the evil, or evil happens. There's no neutrality. Intent doesn't matter when it comes to the abuse of marginalized groups, only results matter.

President #Biden has nominated Gen. David Allvin to be the next chief of staff of the #AirForce.
Allvin’s confirmation, however, could be caught in Sen. Tommy #Tuberville’s blockade of military promotions over the #Pentagon’s #abortion travel policy.

Get in Irwin, we're going Moon driving!
Apollo 15, the 4th mission to put humans on the Moon, launched #OTD in 1971. Folded up in the lunar module (LM) was the first Lunar Roving Vehicle, allowing Dave Scott and Jim Irwin to venture farther from the LM. https://go.nasa.gov/43FoEKi

Pawsitively the best astronaut portrait ever! 🐶
For his official NASA portrait in 2007, former astronaut Leland Melvin snuck his two fur babies, Jake and Scout, in to NASA's Johnson Space Center to pose with him. #NationalDogDay

I am so grateful for Mastodon and the people I am getting to know. It is kind of remarkable that we all take some time out of our lives to share and interact on a regular basis.
I have been overwhelmed by the kindness of people here. I feel connected to a community of good people that value each other's humanity. That support is precious, something I've never experienced on any other platform. So I want to say thank you. You matter and you have helped just by being here. ♥️

Hmm, we moved a swarm that showed up behind our shed a couple of weeks ago (3 frames!) on Sunday, and now there is another swarm about to move back there again(!). Who put my shed on AirBnBee?! #beekeeping #bees #BeemudaTriangle
