"This is my wife taking a nap. In an hour she will wake up, put on her scrubs and get ready for work.
The tools and items she needs to perform her job will be gathered and checked meticulously - her hair and makeup will be done quickly. She will complain that she looks awful. I will disagree, emphatically, and get her a cup of coffee.
She will sit on the couch with her legs crossed under her and try to drink it while happily playing with the toddler that's crawling all over her.
She will occasionally stare off blankly as we talk; silently steeling herself for the coming shift. She thinks I don't notice.
She will kiss the baby, she will kiss me and she will leave to go take care of people that are having the worst day of their entire lives:
Car wrecks, gunshot wounds, explosions, burns and breaks - professionals, poor, pastors, addicts and prostitutes - mothers, fathers, sons, daughters and families - it doesn't matter who you are or what happened to you.
She will take care of you.
She will come home 14 hours later and remove shoes that have walked through blood, bile, tears and fire from aching feet and leave them outside.
Sometimes she will not want to talk about it. Sometimes she can't wait to talk about it.
Sometimes she will laugh until she cries and sometimes she will just cry - but regardless of those sometimes she will be on time for her next shift.
My wife is a nurse. My wife is a hero."

NASA astronaut demonstrating the Dzhanibekov effect. An astronaut noticed this physical behavior of a handle, that turned out to be the proof of a theorem: the tennis racket theorem (also dubbed the Dzhanibekov effect)
The Tennis Racket Theorem states that an object with three unique moments of inertia, rotation about the axis of intermediate moment of inertia is unstable, while rotation about the other two axis is stable.
The effect is named after the Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov who discovered this phenomenon while in space in 1985.
Bill Burr on his wife giving the middle finger to Trump:
“Those Trump guys — they’re always going, ‘Ah, You’re snowflakes, F your feelings,’ and all of that,’ And then you make fun of Trump, they’re like, ‘Oh my God, it’s so disrespectful!’”
@FelixSchlang I assume this is the rest stop on I-65S? One of my favorite stops. If it needs scrapped, I hope they’ll put something else cool there when they open that rest stop up again.
Republicans need to lose and lose big. This isn’t about pivoting. The GOP was fine destroying America to retain power & they tied themselves to a ticking time bomb to do it. The consequences of their actions must be catastrophic.
I read that 71% of Republicans believe that Trump did nothing wrong
Years ago, whenever I entered the USA, I had to sign a declaration that I was not intending to overthrow the
American government by force
I never realised that this applied only to foreigners

Please find a way to get rid of those plastic cups. It’s ridiculous how much plastic in a day alone is being used. Other airlines have already switched.
Here's a timelapse video of last night's #crescentmoon setting behind Space Needle in #Seattle. The still I posted yesterday is one from this sequence. Planned with @photopills and shot with Sony A7R4, Sony 200-600mm lens at 600mm, f/6.3, ISO 1250, 1/8 sec.
While it is very easy to catch being Prime Minister in the UK right now, experts tell us that only one in four will catch Long Prime Minister, so don't panic.
