day one of quarantine. i’ve gathered my most glamorous friends with the most shocking secrets to my secluded mansion. but there’s been a mysterious murder…….
Stage-Toph: “I see everything that you see, except I don’t ‘see’ like you do. I release a sonic wave from my mouth.” *elongated scream* “There! I got a pretty good look at you.”
but the LOOK on Toph’s FACE it is the best thing E V E R R R
#there is no way in hell I could ever forget about this who do you take me for
The Play Within A Play has always been my thing. There’s a reason I obsessed over every costume theater ep. of LBD.
Starting at 4 pm Pacific today (Monday, 2020-04-13) I’m going to put my bird feeders (and those of anyone else who wants to participate) online via Zoom meeting for one hour. The goal is to see how many species we can identify during the hour.
[id: Photo shows a large group of flamingos–almost 50 of them–standing together in and around a slow-moving river. Behind them there’s some grass and a building mostly obscured by many trees. End id.]
Slightly more than 50, actually.
I… may have a problem with actually counting birds if a photo is available in order to improve my estimation skills for when one isn’t.

photos of sakurajima, the most active volcano in japan, by takehito miyatake and martin rietze. volcanic storms can rival the intensity of massive supercell thunderstorms, but the source of the charge responsible for this phenomenon remains hotly debated.
in the kind of storm clouds that generate conventional lightning, ice particles and soft hail collide, building up positive and negative charges, respectively. they separate into layers, and the charge builds up until the electric field is high enough to trigger lightning.
but the specific mechanism by which particles of differing charges are separated in the ash cloud is still unknown. lightning has been observed between the eruption plume and the volcano right at the start of an eruption, suggesting that there are processes that occur inside the volcano to lead to charge separation.
volcanic lightning could yield clues about the earth’s geological past, and could answer questions about the beginning of life on our planet. volcanic lightning could have been the essential spark that converted water, hydrogen, ammonia, and methane molecules present on a primeval earth into amino acids, the building blocks of life.

When the world is spinning out of control, when it’s hard to cope with what’s going on, I find solace and peace in my garden. I hope all my followers and friends are OK. May you all find your own peaceful haven. This too shall pass.
