I haven’t seen Monarch butterflies since I was a kid. There used to be so many. I bought some milk weed seeds to help them out but I uhhh…. have a black thumb and haven’t attempted to grow them yet. 😅 Quote

We bought a couple of different types and now the neighbors have some too! Edit: the website I bought the original seeds from recommended gathering the seeds your plant(s) produce and scattering them out the car window as you drive past open fields.

The YouTube video I'm posting is actually a live stream of the ISS orbiting Earth. (It's not the official NASA stream, sadly. I wish it was the NASA stream because this has accompanying music that's very soothing and contemplative.) Edited June 4, 2023 by Gemini 2 Quote

Things are kinda chaotic right now. Quote

Of course, I've always loved space. Growing up in the woods of Liberty County, Texas, (about an hour from Houston proper) I used to look up at the night sky in the summer and just gaze at the stars in amazement that we are but a spec of sand in what is otherwise a massive and ever expanding universe. Not only that, but I'd also watch NASA TV when I would visit my grandparents. (Their cable provider at the time would have it added for free since the Johnson Space Center is literally within half an hour from their house.) So my avatar isn't just a "name" representation of me, but also a reflection of where I live and my love of space. 1 Quote
Lynnrael Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 butterflies are beautiful until you drive through a swarm and it looks like someone shot mustard colored paintballs at your windshield I'm happy the moths that migrate through where i live now aren't as easily splattered. I've come to appreciate and pity them when they get trapped in the production facility i work at. i try to save them but they're straight up suicidal Quote
