I'm hearing a lot of noise about how the Roe vs. Wade leak was probably done by one of the conservative judges...but I've always thought it was likely done by one of the liberal judges as a warning of "This is what's coming our way, start your protests now." That was my first thought on learning about the leak....
I find it funny that when my gaming PC is working hard on stuff it makes a very quiet version of the noise the Mutants make when mind controlling people in Beneath the Planet of the Apes.

I once met this person at Amy's Ice Cream in Austin.
When everything goes in your favour photography wise!
My husband took this shot of the #CrescentMoon over #TheNeedles #IsleofWight a few years ago. The moon looks full but that's due to #Earthshine and the perfectly clear conditions, the sun having just gone down on one of the few days of the year that this shot is achievable.
The inside of the lighthouse is illuminated which is a very rare sight these days. It was spectacular to witness. #ThrowBackThursday #Photography
This is the best photo of magnetic core memory I've ever taken. IBM, early 60s. Shot with a microscope lens mounted on a 35mm B&W digital camera. No post! (I got into the habit of never doing any post-processing while documenting historic artifacts for the museum. Photoshop not allowed!) #retrocomputing #photography #rcsri
I used this shot for the cover of my book of images from our museum:

I am trying to find my people on Mastodon. Can you please boost this if you:
-Believe that strawberries could be bigger and that farmers are simply not working hard enough to grow massive strawberries.
-Lie awake at night wondering if the trillions of insects will one day unite to overthrow the human race.
-Suspect that volcanoes are hiding something beneath all that magma.
-Find Tilda Swinton to be terrifying yet oddly attractive.
-Think that you could defeat 50 Smurfs in hand-to-hand combat.
As a Trans person, it's kinda depressing to read current trans-related posts,.what with proposed legislation, hate groups and people I know suffering in their transition. Stay strong everyone, it's going to be a challenging year, and for those who struggle, I love you and I am cheering you on... Don't give up the ship. #trans #transgender #LGBTQ
Listening into the Puget Sound Repeater Group on the 2 meter band for the first time in forever, now that I have the SDR hooked up to the laptop, and fixed all (most) of my interference issues. Can't kill power completely to the living room right now, but maybe some other time, I'll get more stuff on the shortwave bands.
Huh. The CDC has a Covid Exposure calculator, and it says that I don't need to stay home if I'm vaccinated and boosted and am showing no symptoms. I'm staying home cause I don't want to take the chance of infecting someone, but it's wierd it would say that.
I will be testing the morning of Jan 21st, and if I'm in the clear, I'm going SOMEWHERE, even if I just stay in my car the whole time. The cabin fever is strong.
