#LunarEclipse FAQ:

Q: Is it safe to look at?
A: Absolutely! Unlike a solar eclipse, there's no UNsafe time to look at a lunar eclipse.

Q: Do I need a telescope?
A: Nope! Best view is with naked eye. Just look up!

Q: Does the eclipse portend terror & doom?
A: Not at all! The news has that covered.

Great example of Human - Wolf Competition! #Olympics2026

We had such an awesome day today that the puppy couldn’t even stay awake to finish opening presents. Happy Holidays to all!!!

This has truly been a terrible week

I guess this is our holiday setup this year. Silly me, I thought we could put up the tree without the puppy eating the ornaments 🎄

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC.

There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI.

Hi @bostonjoan.bsky.social I am a new Ph.D. entering the academic job market. I don’t have a website but this is my first publication

In this article, I note a shift from market-based conservation through the state to a service-based approach by private industry that promise to #save globally valued species, like #cheetahs 🐆

Hurricane season in #Florida is here. Call your reps 🌀

Today my mom was elevated to Professor Emerita of Education by #RollinsCollege!!! Woohoo!!! 🎉🎊🎉

I will admit I changed plans after I posted this. I’m in Florida & it started pouring so decided to splurge at the local bookstore that was closer to home. Great bookstore but they didn’t have it

Thank you for this!

They didn’t have it in stock unfortunately. But looks fantastic!

Wait! Is that the one they made into the Netflix show? I know, I know but I enjoyed that one when I was writing my PhD

I’m finding time to read as I’m substitute teaching so I need to be able to put it down

Academic books welcome too!!!!

I need book recommendations otherwise I’m going to be in the library for the foreseeable future (not that that is a problem per se!). I am searching for something fun, light, & hard, but not impossible, to put down!!! 📖📚
