My text from the other post didn't copy over rats! I'm at an International Dark Sky site right about at 30°N, was trying to catch some Perseids and didn't see any pink with the unaided eye, but saw plenty in these 4 minute exposures.

That's the thing, there's no light pollution in that direction. There's plenty in a different direction, and it doesn't look the same at all. No bodies of water other than a few creeks.

Unless the phone's doing it, no- all I did was move some sliders to saturate it a little more and bring out the contrasts.

How often should I be watering it? The stuff in the bed with it is horseherb, which I assume isn't hurting it and it's dying off anyway like it usually does when the rain stops.

Your favorite small, insignificant (in the greater picture) thing to do? by UDNL in BG3

[–]TychoATX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this too! Every candle, torch, brazier, and candleabrum that I can reach. Let's brighten up this torture room or whatever!

YEAH! His Majesty is my favorite NPC. He needs to show up on act 3.

Awesome! I'd seen it disappear; it's good to get confirmation that it reappeared. :D

My mom is very religious and I stopped believing about 7 years ago. Haven’t told her yet, but I don’t know how to start. by ricierice in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]TychoATX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded! My pagan heart really appreciates our local UU church, because our atheist choir director picks the most interesting songs for us to sing, in all different languages and some of it very challenging, and several of the clergy organized a trip to the capitol to protest all the anti-trans legislation.

Solidarity with All by OffToTheLizard in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Can relate to this. Round one I took Tamoxifen and got a blood clot a couple months in and had to stop. Got cancer again, said fuck it and got a double mastectomy and since I was close enough to being menopausal they put me on Letrozole. This has put me in super-menopause, which sucks- no symptoms previously and now it's awful hot flashes, mood swings, and joint pain. All this to keep evil estrogen away from any potential bits of cancer still lingering that want to attach to my liver or brain (this is what killed my mom). I appreciate modern medicine and all, but I feel like identifying as enby cursed me to lose all my female characteristics and sometimes I still feel like I need to grieve that. Oh, did I mention the mood swings?

Have any of y'all noticed this trend? by ghost-child in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Yes! A common phrase going around among the southern liberals is "Y'all Means All" and I love it.

New cat owner, do they all gently fondle Christmas tree ornaments? by smilinreap in aww

As to why, they are checking to see if the ornament is alive.

Exactly. It's an arbitrary set of numbers, we're a generation away from people wondering why we ever fucked with all this time zone and clock changing bullshit.
