Old mediocre atheist writer with a fierce love of nature, science, astronomy, and prose. (Yes there’s overlap there.) Keeps cats in nip by writing, designing, and editing interpretive signs and conservation-related tidbits.

Fancy guest dropped by for a drink. Northern Flicker (yellow-shafted). This bird has it all. Just check out those zygodactyl grippers! #birds
Woodpecker with big, grippy, zygodactyl feet is perched on the edge of a concrete bird bath, leaning forward with its beak in the water. Bird has stripes and spots and a cravat and a moustache and a red neck nape spot. Oh, and bright yellow tail and wing feathers, too.

NASA astronaut & biochemistry researcher Peggy Whitson holds the US space endurance record. Cumulatively, she spent 695 days in #space--the equivalent of a hypothetical round trip to Mars. First woman NASA Chief Astronaut, 2009. #WomenInSTEM #WorldSpaceDay 🚀
A wide-angle interior photograph of legendary astronaut Dr. Peggy Whitson floating effortlessly in microgravity inside the seven-window Cupola observatory module of the International Space Station. Dr. Whitson is angled diagonally across the frame with one outstretched arm while smiling confidently at the camera. She sports her signature short, blonde pixie haircut and wears a dark blue and black commercial flight jumpsuit adorned with the prominent embroidered logo of Axiom Space alongside a mission patch on her chest. Behind her, the large, panoramic circular and trapezoidal windows frame a breathtaking, brilliantly lit view of planet Earth below, displaying bright blue oceans blanketed by swirling white cloud patterns. The geometric framework of the spacecraft interior, lined with handrails, switches, and wiring, creates a complex border around the vivid windows. The overall mood is triumphant, serene, and awe-inspiring. This image carries profound historical significance, documenting Whitson's groundbreaking transition to commercial spaceflight as a mission commander, continuing to break age and endurance milestones well into her sixties.

If this is how they define the GOP—if any disagreement with Trump means you’re against the party—then perhaps you should take them at their word. And on November 3, you can tell every nominee of the Trump party what you think of them.
