HiPOD: The Richness of Layers

This stunning image features dozens of layers in the walls of a graben on the flanks of Arsia Mons. These layers could be yet unmapped volcanic units (lavas or ash deposits) and their identification can lead to a greater understanding of the history of this volcanic terrain. Material from this wall likely mantled the ice-rich deposits on the graben floor, and a 3D model can also characterize erosion patterns on the wall.

Enhanced color cutout is less than 1 km across; grayscale is less than 5 km. For full image including scale bar, visit the source link.

I’m sitting in my car on a dark street on the central coast eating peanut butter on pumpernickel bread and listening to a couple of seagulls fight. I feel so capable. I feel like I can do anything because I have done so much

Meadow in the morning ☘️

Today I had to be at work at 6 am. When I arrived at my bus stop, this beautiful sunrise landing on the meadow delighted my eyes. Sometimes I really want to live a little longer.

I had a dream i was at a party with Ouroboros and someone was laughing so hard. “Ouroboros, man, you ate from the beginning? There is no beginning!”

my friend sent me a guardian article about starting a career late in life. I love her. I am 34

we are in an era not only of rampant pseudoscience but rampant pseudohistory. Which I think might actually be worse.

please watch this animated short film from gobelins animation students about a child swimming out to the sea after an aid drop. extremely beautiful work from my friend noran fikri.

animated films take a long time to develop and animate. she first sent me the concepts for this over a year ago. during the time this was conceived up until november 2025 (the moment it has been released) israel is still preventing adequate aid and medical equipment from reaching palestinians.

people will wield their minute online clout for the purpose of being nasty for no reason while receiving praise for it... sad

“I shall never forget the occasion when I was visiting a school as a writer and the whole place suddenly fell into an uproar because the school tomboy - a most splendid Britomart of a girl - had beaten up the school bully. Everything stopped in the staffroom while the teachers debated what to do. They wanted to give the tomboy a prize, but decided reluctantly that they had better punish her and the bully too. They knew that if, as a child, you do pluck up courage to hit the bully, it is an act of true heroism - as great as that of Beowulf in his old age. I remember passing the tomboy, sitting in her special place of punishment opposite the bully. She was blazing with her deed, as if she had actually been touched by a god. And I thought that this confirmed all my theories: a child in her position is open to any heroic myth I care to use; she is inward with folktales; she would feel the force of any magical or divine intervention.”

I’ve been having a lot of angst and second thoughts about this move (which I am still going through with) mostly related to is it the right decision / is there a better place to be for the work i want to do (New York). But there is something really warm about having a really good friend within walking distance again. He went to an apartment viewing for me last night and called me after to say he talked me up a lot to the potential roommate, and when I watched the video he took I could hear him saying how we’d been friends for 10 years, and doesn’t that say a lot, and how he’s been trying to get me to move there for ages.
