Revisiting some older photos with new editing tools/skills. This is a photo of a rare aurora in #Vancouver / Burnaby circa 2015. Green aurora is created by the excitement of oxygen molecules in the atmosphere where purple/blue is nitrogeg #astrophotography #scicomm #space

Aurora glow mix of both purple and green in the skies over northern mountains seen from Vancouver on the roof of Burnaby Mountain - so I guess Burnaby rather than Vancouver

With the news that the US is openly weaponizing space, I’d like to reshare this essay I wrote for The Baffler: “Without the capacity and the will to live in good relations with our local ecosystems and each other, wherever we are, we will be on a suicide mission.” 🔭

Happy Star Trek Day! In 2009, I attended my first Star Trek convention and met one of Star Trek’s finest activists, Leonard Nimoy. I’ve had a wild journey since, including Star Trek community building, podcasting and panel speaking. I’d like to think I’ve made him proud. @trektivism.bsky.social
