FYI: A rare two-headed diamondback terrapin was found in Massachusetts! 🐢 Weighing just 5.2 grams, this tiny hatchling has two distinct heads that control its body independently. Despite the challenge of navigating with two separate minds, it is swimming, eating, and doing incredibly well!

Once upon a time they could “ stay at home”, hide behind the Veil of the Broederbond and Apartheid but Nelson Mandela ultimately drew that curtain aside to expose their perfidious persona Once again,the Veil of MAGA’t in America is affording them the same “protections”,at a cost to all Americans

I've had to concede defeat. It's 'clear' my sky won't be improving any time soon. Still I did get 45 minutes worth of exposures. I'll do a bit of processing later this morning. On Monday I'll have another go. Mars will still be part of the cluster. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography

Want affordable housing? Build up, not out pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/10... Thank you Michael, a timely analysis However the additional issue that should be added is the “consideration” that the Social Housing Stock,in both cities and towns has been drastically reduced as % of all stock
pearlsandirritations.com
Want affordable housing? Build up, not out
Home ownership has become increasingly unaffordable because land prices have increased so much under population pressure. The only way to restore affordable housing is to increase urban density.
