$5 a month truly keeps this place going…if you’ve got it and it won’t put you out consider joining us and helping this place stay afloat? Do so here, and I’ll love ya, even more than I do, for life:
Here’s the scoop, kids:
Arctic Summer To Be Ice-Free By 2030 - Sorry to come right out of the gate with bad news, on top of the already bad news that all you East Coasters are now dealing with in the form of wildfire smoke, but yeah, this article was sobering. Bottom line, unless we all wanna live in Mad Max style worlds, we better get our shit together, and soon. Read this, get scared, ACT.
Blackstar - What happens when you take unbelievable 4K footage of our sun, invert the colors some, and then add gorgeous music for 45 minutes? You get an alien place that’s always been alien but we forget because it’s yellow and warm and makes us tan. This video is stunning and blows my mind and makes me cry in weird ways and I don’t know why.
Health Impacts of Wildfire Smoke - Staying with the theme of PLEASE DON’T RUIN THIS PLACE ANY FURTHER, this article is important given the current air quality in much of this country, and I Know it’s going to get worse, especially in Montana, over the next few months. Protect yourselves, learn, and plan accordingly. Please.
Can Humans Ever Understand How Animals Think? - The title of this article literally sounds like some random question I’d probably ask Lady Gregson on any given Wednesday evening, and then lose myself down the rabbit hole for hours. I love this kind of thing, as it just proves what I’ve always known: Animals are brilliant, and better than humans too. Ok that last bit isn’t in the article, but should be.

Being In Love by Wet Leg - This song closed out the 1st episode of the 3rd season of The Great, which is just a staggeringly good show. And I liked it. Maybe you will too.
Typewriter Series Silliness - More me, more poems, more stupid humor. Yep.
