A sadde thinge that we have to worke arounde alwayes ys that the quiet, steadye, patient labor and kyndenesse required to holde up the worlde and keepe us all goinge ys nevir a newes item. Unshowye, ordinarye, hard-won skill at the job you must do for othirs to get on. The greatest honor ys there.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

snakes leave behind whole skins. all manner of flying creatures, not just butterflies, do them one better, whole new selves from wriggling worms. rocks into gems. mystics die to the flesh to be reborn in the spirit. rebirth is the rule, not the stray exception, if we can grasp it

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent sheep I have met on walks. You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.
 A morbidly inclined sheep, who likes to hang around in graveyards, detests parties and owns original pressings of the entire classic run of Leonard Cohen LPs from 1967-1974.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday
A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.

Just want to point out what great science communication happens on Watch Duty, the writer using jargon and defining it as he goes. Using the jargon communicates full detail to the more expert audience, and defining it assists newcomers. This kind of multilevel writing is essential to good #scicomm.

The fire continues to move south, "chunking away" (fire is advancing in an uneven or patchy manner) paralleling the West Mandeville Fire Rd and Mandeville Canyon - per radio traffic.

Five helicopters are currently working this area of the fire.
