Right, because NASA DSN provides a nice XML with status of their dishes, why not parse it and show which DSN dish(es) Artemis II is currently using :)

(I know, probably useless information for most, but I like it and I get to play around with parsing XML files again...🤓)

A repeating tartan pattern with a dark green base, crossed by bold vertical and horizontal bands. Bright blue stripes form prominent intersections, while red and orange bands run alongside them. Thin yellow lines and fine black crosshatching add detail, creating a layered grid of squares across the design.

Manitoba:

Adopted in 1962, the tartan was designed by Hugh Kirkwood Rankine. The red represents the Red River Colony, and the blue comes from the Clan Douglas tartan. Gold is the agricultural history and green represents the province's cultures.

🧵5/16

A repeating tartan pattern with a dark green base, intersected by thin red lines forming a grid. A wide vertical band of deep blue runs through the center, bordered by narrow white and red stripes. Additional black squares and fine diagonal crosshatching add texture, creating a structured, symmetrical pattern across the image.

Ontario:

Designed by Rotex Ltd. in 1965, it was the unofficial tartan until it was adopted in 2000. The shades of green are Ontario's forests, the blue are its waters and the white is the sky.

🧵6/16

A repeating tartan pattern with large dark navy squares alternating with red and green blocks. Thin yellow and white lines run horizontally and vertically, intersecting to form smaller grids within the larger pattern. Fine diagonal crosshatching adds texture across the fabric, creating a dense, symmetrical design.

Quebec:

While Quebec does have a tartan, it is the only province to not officially adopt it. Known as Plaid du Quebec, it was designed in 1965 by Rotex Ltd. Its colours come from the coat of arms.

🧵7/16

A repeating tartan pattern with alternating dark green and muted blue squares. Bright yellow and red stripes run vertically and horizontally, intersecting at regular intervals. Thin white lines cross through the pattern, and fine diagonal crosshatching adds texture, forming a layered grid across the design.

Nova Scotia:

The tartan was designed by Bessie Murray of the Halifax Weavers' Guild. It was adopted in 1963. The blue represents the sea, the white is the granite, rocks and surf, the gold is the Royal Charter and the red is for the lion rampant on the provincial flag.

War of Choice—-
Wrong Choice‼️

Cicero said war is monstrous and like the actions of wild beasts.
He believed debate is humanity’s proper course of action.

“ Peace, even if unjust is better than a just war.” #quotes #war

Photo art of mini daffodils

All At Once

I wandered lonely as a cloud
that floats on high
o’er vales and hills
when all at once
I saw a crowd,
a host
of golden daffodils.

Families LAST

“Trump is exploding YOUR utility bills, pushing families across the country to the absolute limit.

And now he’s trying to cruelly rip away assistance that makes #energy bills more affordable.

That’s not “America First.”
It’s families last.”
