Toshen / is on Nostr

I feel incredibly fortunate to live in the foothills of the Rockies. Love our beautiful, fragile planet and am deeply concerned about #climate. Awed by #space and #astronomy. Love #nature, #reading, #woodworking.

Keystone values: respect, compassion, empathy, and acceptance. We're all in this together.

I am grateful for the little displays of autumn beauty I come across on my daily walks. They help me to hang onto a bit of sanity in these insane times.

Beginning today, I am being shown unwanted Proton Marketing messages in my paid Proton Unlimited Proton Mail web app:
Protect and simplify your email
Double your free storage to 1 GB when you complete the following:
Etc., etc., etc., etc.
How do I turn off this unwanted marketing? This is so unlike Proton.

Fucking hell.
"'Smoking gun proof': fossil fuel industry knew of climate danger as early as 1954, documents show."
"Experts say the documents show the fossil fuel industry had intimate involvement in the inception of modern climate science, along with its warnings of the severe harm climate change will wreak, only to then publicly deny this science for decades and fund ongoing efforts to delay action on the climate crisis."

My heart is with the people of Ukraine.
I follow a number of people on Mastodon who share news about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. One is a young woman in Kharkiv, Iryna (https://mstdn.social/@iryna), who shares what is happening around her and to her as Russia bombs her beautiful city, quite often targeting innocent civilians. I will never be able to forgive Putin and the current Russian government and military for their obscenely murderous invasion.

Predawn splendor! When I went out to hang the bird feeders this morning, the clouds in sky to northeast were lit bright red by the predawn sun. By the time I got my phone out to take a picture, the clouds that were lit up had shifted to the southeast sky, and moments after I took this photo, the light show had faded away.
