If skies are clear, don’t miss one of the top astro events of 2026 this coming Tuesday March 3rd, as the Moon passes through the Earth’s shadow in a total lunar eclipse. This will be a fine leisurely affair centered around the Pacific Ocean region, with totality lasting almost an hour in duration.

A simple crochet fish, in various shades of green and one shade of cream, held by a hand. Fish has a sewn on eye made of sparkly thread. Water mark reads The Raven Lilian.

A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

Cute video game cat looking very happy with their eyes closed and one leg held out like they want to shake your hand. Cat is a brown tortoiseshell with white over their mouth, neck, and underbelly. Also their held up paw has pink toe beans.

Maybe I am spoiled from Tumblr, but when I search #caturday I expect to see cats.
To that point here is a pic of my in game cat Jasper from #Heartopia.
Have a lovely day and keep your hope alive.

In this never-ending winter, I'm reminded the ice prevents ponds and rain barrels from evaporating.

Apparently, the same thing once happened on Mars!

Stop.

Read the post below.

Do what it says.

Look at Earth - our home world - from the surface of Mars.

You are a terranaut on that fragile planet.

Two players sitting at the counter of a cafe in the game Sky Children of Light. In the background is seating and through a window with plants on either side of it a pile of snow has fallen in. The pile has gotten almost as big as the cushony chairs.
