NASA study confirms Earth is reflecting less sunlight: the Northern Hemisphere is getting darker faster. This can't be good. When albedo (the reflectivity) of the planet decreases, the sun's warming of the earth has less and less ways to escape, and we begin slowly to boil, and have nasty weather.

Every American who wore the uniform from Valley Forge to now took an oath against tyranny, making them textbook antifascists. The military's entire purpose is defending democracy from authoritarianism. Declaring antifa "domestic terrorism" means our founding principle is now a prosecutable offense.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

For a "lame attempt", this has produced something quite pleasant to look at. I wonder where she'll hang it.

Day 6

Here is my really lame very 1st attempt at stained glass. I didn't have a pattern, I had a cheap glass cutter, so I just cut pieces and tried to fit them together somehow. 😆 No finishing edge. No classes either.

Fellow photographers appreciate the inclusion of metadata from beautiful shots like this.
Woke up to our first real snow of the winter in Santa Fe, so I thought I'd stick with that them and share one of my favorite wintery photos I've taken, from a visit to Canyonlands National Park back in February 2019.

Everyday for the last ten years, Donald Trump has used his bully pulpit to incite violence against Americans for any reason he decides.

He is a terrorist.

His supporters are terrorists.

We do not negotiate with terrorists.

Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

@paulsummergrad.bsky.social Irony abounds when someone's finger of blame appears to apply to themself. As Rodney King was famously quoted, "Can't we all just get along?"
Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.
