Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

I recently started using Fable and @thestorygraph.com instead of Goodreads. Loving them both for different reasons. Anyone else on there and want to connect? #books #reading 📖📚

Book hauls from a recent charity shop visit.
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
This is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay

I rarely buy books new. I love browsing the charity shops for something good. And book trends usually appear after a month or so by which time you'll know if it's actually worth a read or if it's just BookTok hype 😂

Currently in Cleethorpes with my parents. It's a bit of alright. #cleethorpes #UK #seaside #beach 📷

My parents stood with their backs to the camera on a promenade. They are reading the info board for the beach that can be seen in the background. The beach is sandy and the sea is far out.

A sandy beach. There are wet patches and in the foreground there are some sand dunes with grass growing. The sky is blue with white fluffy clouds.

On the left is a path. On the right is some sand dunes.the sky is blue but mainly covered with white fluffy clouds.

I finished a WIP. Although I'm still classing it as a WIP until it's ironed and framed 😂

Another night having a look at the sky. It really is one of my favourite things to do ❤️🔭 We saw Saturn and learnt how to identify the Pegasus constellation 🐎 And of course it would've been rude to not take a look at the moon 🌖🌕 #astrophotography #space #moom #photography #UK #nightsky

Photo of the moon taken through a telescope. The moon is just under half full and the meteor craters are absolutely stunning along the terminator line. The moon also has a slight glow.

The sky in Leeds at 6am this morning was absolutely stunning ☁️🌄 #photography #sky #sunrise #uk #Leeds #science

Houses in the bottom half of the photo and the sky above them. The sky is peppered with mackerel clouds and fades from pale blue down to orange pink behind the houses.

I went to RSPB St Aidens yesterday for the first time and absolutely adored it. I have more photos I took on my camera to go through but these are the ones from my phone. #addbirder #ukbirds #yorksbird #RSPB #RSBPStAidens #Photography

I'd say these were lower in altitude? But I'm not sure how I would know?

Oh thank you! A bit of Google I thought it was Altocumulus Undulatus. It was very cool!

More photos from last night's #astrophotography session. Annoyingly I forgot my camera mount for my telescope so these were all taken on my phone! #womeninscience #photography #moon #nightsky #uk #yorkshire

Photo of the moon with a lot of black background. It is extremely bright and creators and showdown can be seen.

Photo of a closer shot of the moon. It's taken through a telescope eyepiece so there is a slight reflection at the top. There is a massive impact creator on the moon and the trails can be seen clearly jutting out.

I think this is the Albategnius impact creator at the top as the image is reflected.

A long exposure taken on my phone. If you zoom in you can see so many stars!

Hey #astrophotography and #science people! Does anyone know why the clouds are looking funky? First bit of stargazing for this winter. It's warmed the soul ❤️ #clouds #photograpy #womeninscience #sciart

I took a photo of the moon 😁 I find it quite hard to focus with my telescope so I'm pretty pleased with this one 🌕🌝 🔭📷 #astrophotgraphy #photography #moon

A close up of the moon. About 2 thirds are visible. You can see craters, especially at the bottom where they are very defined

Last night I went to see Europe's Strongest Man competition. It's so much fun and I just don't get how these people do these things. I can barely lift a tea spoon 😂 #europesstrongestman #giantslive #leedsarena #strongman

Three burley men on a podium holding up trophies. In the foreground is a crowd. In the background are camera crews

Two men deadlifting the largest dumbbells in the world. They weigh 350kg.
One man is lifting it and is very red. The other man is bent over with his butt to the camera.
The referees are sat opposite the men, with camera crews next to them.
In the foreground is the crowd

A line of very big men holding their country's flag.

Bit on edge today as I've started a new job/course and induction week is *a lot*. So I did some cross stitch. Another Innocent Bones Subscription kit. 🧵🪡 #crossstitch #crafting

A cross stitch piece that is not yet finished. It's a black outline of two hands that look like they are holding an invisible ball.
There are several orange and blue stars surrounding them.
The hands have black mystic eye tattoos on their wrists.
In between the hands is an orange playing card with the ace of spades in black.

That's so pretty 😍 I've tried an embroidery kit I found in a charity shop but it came with zero instructions. I'm not sure if I was doing it right so I abandoned it. Maybe I should dig it out again 👀

My spring flowers have started coming up. But my tulips are all leaf. Like one big giant leaf. And nothing else. Except this one red tulip... Whhhyyyyyy?? 😭😭😭🌷 #garden #gardening #springflowers #tulips

A grey pot with purple and yellow pansies. There are two massive tulip leaves growing out of the pansy foliage

A pale pink pot with 7 tulips in mud. All just one leaf and no flowers.

A pale pink pot with tulips growing in it. There are a few that are just massive leaves, but two have flowered. One is red and the other looks like it will be yellow but is still currently a closed bud.

Oh is that the same as the film? I think I've seen the film... I'll add it to my wish list. I'm currently listening to The Man in the High Castle and tbh I'm not really enjoying it.

I'm currently visiting my parents in Northampton (UK) and I don't remember there being this many pretty places when I was growing up! Details of areas in alt text #uk #greenspaces #photography #nature

Sixfields reservoir with the express lift tower in the background
Photo shows a walking track curving to the right, with grass on either side. The grass is bordered by bushes and trees. In the distance is a single tower. This is the only building that can be seen. On the horizon is a gangly tree.

Sixfields reservoir
In the foreground is dried grass, then a strip of water. Along the horizon line are the bushes and trees that line the far side of the water. The top half of the picture is the sky. It's cloudy, light grey.

Playing fields behind Crispin's Club in Duston, Northampton
The sky is blue and there is a large patch of grass in the foreground. A cross the centre of the photo there are trees. From the right there's two cherry trees in blossom and then a willow.

Woosland at the back of Berry wood hospital in Duston, Northampton
Woodland but in the centre is a tree that looks like it is growing upside down. The branches are pointing to the ground, while the trunk points towards the sky.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

A six panel comic. In panel 1, a yellow warbler says "Hey, so I'm going to go out on a limb here". For the next four panels, it hops down along a branch. In the last panel, at the end of the branch, it sings a little song. I'm sorry.
