#RandomThoughts and personal #photography documenting this journey called life! As a GenX abandoner of FB and Birdverse, sick of the vitriol stoked by the power of $$ behind both, I still have hope for this society and world. So I explore the beauty and wonder of this world through travel and amateur photography.
Update Sept 2024 - while not a political poster, there will be times when the #unjust will and must be called out.
An interesting episode of “The Run Up” (a NYT podcast) including an interview with MD Gov. Wes Moore. Here’s a link to the episode on YouTube but can also be found on your favorite Podcast app:
if you’re a woman of a child bearing age, want to have a child, and/or are a partner or parent of such women, and if you needed yet ANOTHER reason (out of thousands of others) to #VoteBlue across the country and definitely in #texas… well here you go!

Tonight my 10yo asked if a woman might run for president next year.
“Why?” I asked.
“Because if a woman runs, you should vote for her,” he explained. “In almost 250 years, there haven’t been any women presidents. We need someone to be the first.”
Couldn’t agree more kiddo.
Born in 1910, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin perfected X-ray crystallography, a type of imaging using X-rays to determine a molecule’s three-dimensional structure.
She determined the structures of insulin, penicillin & vitamin B12, leading to tremendous advances in medicine.
Hodgkin was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964. She also advocated for world peace, campaigning against both the Vietnam War & nuclear weapons. https://www.nobelprize.org/womenwhochangedscience/stories/dorothy-hodgkin #HistoryRemix #science #history
“Captured for life by chemistry and by crystals,” as she described it, Dorothy Hodgkin turned a childhood interest in crystals into the ground-breaking use of X-ray crystallography to “see” the molecules of penicillin, vitamin B12 and insulin. Her work not only allowed researchers to better understand and manufacture life-saving substances, it also made crystallography an indispensable scientific tool.
