  @Darkphoenix@universeodon.com thank you, the fires are one of the top reasons I left the Rockies and moved back east. Obviously, looking around the globe, there's no place left that's unaffected. We're all in this together but only some of us seem to care.

  July 10, 1983 was a Sunday. My husband, Stephen, got up early to meet friends for a day of scuba diving and left the Sunday comics on the side of the bed for me. I had a lazy morning and then drove into Cambridge to do a few hours of work on a software project I was managing. I was listening to a Irish radio show that played music and storytellers and I was weepy. Irish storytellers are so good. I was planning to have dinner with friends nearby and got a phone call from them to let me know tha...

  Is "I regret that" an apology? Actually a good article on how views of #autism are shifting. "In fact, he said, his own research showed that autistic people tend to differ in cognitive empathy (interpreting facial expressions and language) but not affective empathy (the internal response to others’ feelings). “Once they know that someone is upset, it upsets them and they want to do something about it,” he said. “There’s a kind of myth that autistic people lack empathy.” https://...

  Wish I could say I'm surprised ... but all my encounters with Botstein were unpleasant. Good riddance. (Ba Win would be deeply disappointed with you, Leon.) "... Leon Botstein has announced he is stepping down from the helm of Bard College, after an independent review of his contacts with Jeffrey Epstein found the college president’s frequent interactions with the convicted sex offender “could have alerted” him to the possibility that he and Bard would be facilitating Epstein’s...

  A question for people in western Massachusetts, especially folks who know about birds. Is it possible that there are now ravens here? I've never seen them before on the East Coast, always in the Rockies or on the northwest coast. #birds #ravens #berkshires

  Jackie Morris is one of my favorite artists - she is sending out prints for a donation - and will send to the US "... in an attempt to show solidarity with the people of Minnesota I have cut a Common Loon, the state bird.

  Interview with Rebecca Solnit: "... Thich Nhat Hanh said before he died a few years ago that the next Buddha will be the Sangha. The Sangha, in Buddhist terminology, is the community of practitioners.

  "... Our government is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment, as if it’s just another piece of content to be swiped through while we’re waiting in line at the grocery store. But, in the end, we lose our humanity when we are thrilled by the destructive power of our military. We become addicted to the “spectacle” of explosions. And the price of this habit is almost unnoticeable, as we become desensitized to the true costs of war ..."...

  It's very weird to be walking around in 65° weather (30° over historical average) in early March in New England in a light cotton shirt with my sleeves rolled up - surrounded by a ton of snow. Like most dogs, #SunshineSadie prefers to prance around in the snow as long as possible. The river is running quite high - about a month early. If we have another spring and summer without much rainfall, the snow pack won't help as much as it could. #CognitiveDissonance #mawx #dogsofmast...

  Maybe some of you remember last year, almost exactly a year ago, when my car suddenly wouldn't start. It took four months of working/not working, three starters, and a new battery to discover that it was a very simple fix that had nothing to do with the starter or battery. Guess what! It's baaaaaack! Had the car towed to a new mechanic and had a nice long walk in the afternoon sunshine to get home.
