Flamingos are not pink. They are born with grey feathers, which gradually turn pink in the wild because of a dye called canthaxanthin obtained from their diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae. This is a baby flamingo. Original post

'In the Garden.' (1884) A close friend and follower of Georges Seurat and a founding member of the Neo-Impressionist movement, Charles Angrand's technical ability in this work is superb. Paul Signac praised Angrand's paintings as 'poems of light.'

Every couple of decades I clean out my sewing box. The wooden spools and prices were good back then. #Crafting #Sewing #QuiltSky
This is a photo of nine old wooden spools of cotton thread, some of which I inherited from my mother.  Colors include pumpkin orange, a light lime green, a bright golden yellow.  The prices ranged from 15 cents to 19 cents. All are smaller in size from contemporary thread. BoilFast, Talon, and Coats & Clark are the brand names. The color shades are clearly numbered. (Talon brand made zippers too; their thread shade matched the zippers.) The spools are arranged on a dark green 21st century towel.

No matter which 'Odyssey' translation you read, there is an overwhelming presence of enslaved men, women, and children. M.I. Finley's study, 'The World of Odysseus' takes on this issue in chapter 3, 'Wealth & Labour'. Reprints of this book are starting to appear. #Slavery #TheOdyssey #BookSky 📚
This is the book cover of the 1978 hardback edition of M. I. Finley's The World of Odysseus. It was an revised edition from his 1954 first edition. The revisions are contained in a final chapter reflecting additional historical discoveries and social change. The book jacket is dark red, with white script. In the middle of the cover is an outline of a Greek ship on a dark golden yellow.Photo of the paperback cover of Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey. The top of the cover is an artist's interpretation of an ancient Minoan mural restored on the island of Crete. The women appear to be dancing in blue and gold matching robes, with golden diadems holding their long black hair. The center of the cover is white with the title and translator's name center in bold type. The bottom has a golden line with uniform blue waves across.

INBOX: the last dedicated science reporter at The Wall Street Journal, @aylinwoodward.bsky.social, has left the newsroom. This came after the Murdoch-owned newspaper dissolved its Health and Science Bureau last October. NPR, CBS, and WaPo also gutted their climate desks in the last eight months.
After nearly five incredible years, The Journal's last remaining dedicated science reporter (that's me!) has left WSJ. Following the dissolution of the miraculous Health & Science Bureau last October, myself and a small numbers of others worked hard to continue our former team's legacy, but the time has finally come for me to move on.

I am deeply grateful for all of the opportunities this publication -- and the journalist community I met there -- has given me. From stories about T. rex lips to primate booze problems to shrinking brains, to Nobel Prize and NASA mission coverage, Jane Goodall's obituary, winter storm, volcano and wildfire smoke stories, I left no scientific stone unturned, working constantly to inspire curiosity and wonder in Journal readers during times of increasing turmoil and challenge. I met some of my closest friends, wrote for two of the most phenomenal editors I'll ever have the privilege of working with, saw Evan come home, and learned (in retrospect, naturally) the gift it is to be on a team of professional nerds who drive the cutting edge of health and science journalism in America while uplifting each other and their craft.

Well, this is your counterprogramming kid signing off. Not sure where I'll end up next, but don't be strangers y'all. In the meantime, I'll be coaching roller derby across the U.S., South America and Europe!

Heartbreakingly, those who believe only those who believe and look like them here on Earth deserve the best also believe that way about heaven. 

This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.”
