Ms Gushan is already a leader.
Profound and concise outline of true political leadership—universally true.

I submitted observations to the Science Museum Group recently, that two paintings by William Ascroft showed noctilucent clouds, the earliest known depiction of them.
First came 'who are you?' questions. Having provided my credentials, then came 'but did the artist say something about what he saw?' He literally painted what he saw; how could words be any more reliable? Then the clincher: 'we might be challenged on what you say'. Sure, I expect it. Fear of challenge. What next?
Torridon School only had one student, so they closed it. It didn't have ideal topography for a playing field either.

Clever, and witty.

Beautifully written explanation of why Europe’s heatwave must not be normalised, whether it’s to “but that’s every summer in Australia” or to “I guess this is just what summer will be like in Europe from now on”.
There is still time to mitigate some level of climate change, and we don’t want to waste that opportunity with apathy and inertia.

It’s far better to be uninformed than to be informed by TikTok.
I've been gnawing on an idea this weekend that, like a piece of gristle in my steak, stubbornly refuses to resolve into anything distinct and palatable. But this being the internet I'm not about to let that stop me. Please return your seats and tray tables to the upright and locked position, I'm about to brain dump.
Joy, like dignity, is the birthright of every living thing.

20211030 | South falls sunrise at Silver Falls State Park
We waited in the cold for this amazing opportunity to get this shot in 2021 at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon.
Two pictures from this week…
Picture 1: Trump’s reality.
Picture 2: Reality.
Using acronyms divides your audience in two groups. Those that *think* they know what it means and those that *don't* know what it means. Both groups now feel not fully connected anymore. This can lead to dangerous consequences, depending on the acronym. Ranging from your message not getting through to people relying on their possibly wrong interpretation of the acronym. So spell it out at least once, ideally at the first use in the conversation. It makes things so much better.

An utter disgrace, and totally un-Christian.

I’ve been close to two Strads: a cello, and [nearly two decades ago] a 1727 violin. Notice how small the guitars bodies were, back then?
