Reorganising some of my files, came upon this 2017 photo named "good morning, moon" and I think it looks pretty nice. Finland being Finland, seven in the morning apparently looked like this when I lived very high up. Good morning, tiny moon! Good morning, probably some planet!
@sinituulia ... I need to keep my screen cleaner: I thought the planet was dust on my screen (but it moves with the moon when I scroll).

@sinituulia Venus is such a rewarding object, even in a small telescope, or even in binoculars, provided they are on a tripod. Around 'brightest shine', close to eastern or western elongation, she shows as a Moon-like crescent, just like Galileo described her - a spherical world orbiting the Sun, dark but illuminated by the Sun. It never gets old.
@sinituulia The picture from the astronomy book of my father, and of my childhood.

@AnnFinkbeiner@sciencemastodon.com @jab01701mid@mastodon.social This was one of the first things I learned, from my father's astronomy book when I was still in primary school. The last figure in this chapter. Wonderful book! https://www.gutenberg.org/files/59744/59744-h/59744-h.htm?page%20=55#chapter08

@forthy42 @martinvermeer I prefer reading long streams of consciousness spread between 2-10 posts because it lets me pause in one spot, do whatever else requires my attention, and then still know where I left off because I've ticked a little star icon below it once I've finished a paragraph...
I do think in long uninterrupted rambles (tone affectionate) but have taught myself to edit and compress and make concise what I'm writing because I know how much brain, concentration and/or spoons it can take to read one uninterrupted message! And gosh heck, sometimes it's much easier to commit to 20 bite size pieces as opposed to a full length novel...
Even physiologically, it's easier to cast eyes elsewhere for a bit, maybe take a break to get some water! -
@martinvermeer @sinituulia Damn...I can so relate to that girl.

@martinvermeer @sinituulia So ChatGPT is autistic?
She could have perhaps organized her response in neatly structured numbered bullet lists with paragraphs and offer some options which other things the guy could ask afterwards.

@martinvermeer @sinituulia One of my joys in mundane life is listening to a loved one's info dump.
๏ธ Even if it's a topic I'm not interested in, or don't understand, their joy and passion for that topic is joyous. -
@martinvermeer @sinituulia That's not "infodumping". That's answering a question comprehensively, once.
The recipient is expected to pay attention and retain the information. Not doing so is rude. Questions are encouraged.
