Loving this video by @grahamscheper about learning a language (Old English, in this case). The slide about reading is so true. Luckily some languages have comic books, adapted readers, etc for lots of variety -- and the Discord servers can help you figure out where to go!
Want to read cool texts like Beowulf and the Wanderer? Want to know more about the history of the English language? Want to be a philologist like Tolkien? Do I have the video for you! How to learn the amazing language that is Old English: piped.video/FDnc_Qt3Gx0

Tonight's harvest moon, the first full moon after the autumnal equinox, has a special history. This is what Sir Gawain and the Green Knight calls the 'Michaelmas moon', and in the old Anglo-Saxon calendar it was the herald of winter. patreon.com/clerkofoxford/po…
Replying to @ClerkofOxford
'Michaelmas moon' is the full moon which occurs close to the feast, and the time around it. In 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight', Michaelmas moon is said to bring with it 'wynter wage' - a chill pledge of winter coming, and the prospect of accounts to be settled.

Hues of Africa. This week as I floated into the @Space_Station cupola and came upon this Northern Africa landscape, I reflected back on the first time I saw this scene from space. I was simply in awe of its colors, patterns and textures. Even on my 430th day in space nearing the end of this mission, this palette of Earth Art remains my most inspiring view.

.@itsmoislam and I took our live show on the road for the first time this week. We set the broadcast in front of the Apollo 17 command module at our Off World conference at Space Center Houston. We chose the spot (in addition to it being insanely cool and historic) because Apollo 17 was the last time humans landed on the Moon more than 50 years ago. And now, as we are oh so close to finally going back, the conference was bringing together industry folks to figure out what the 21st-century version of landing and living on the Moon will look like. We have become more and more convinced that live, authentic, unscripted video content will play an increasingly important role in media consumption, even for B2B publications like ours. That's interviews, analysis, and short 1.5 min thought leadership clips. We are tripling down on high-quality video content. That's with our bi-weekly show and partnership at the NYSE. And now at our events, tying our content together. Was a great show this week. Moon bases, investing in space exploration, rovers, and nuclear power. We interviewed Carlos Garcia-Galan (NASA Moon base program manager), @tybernstein (Zeno Power), @GoesslerAlyssa (AE Industrial Partners), AJ Gemer (Lunar Outpost), @endeffector (Astrolab), and @TaylorCSargent (Industrious Ventures). As always, will post clips of the important moments from the interviews.

In this recent clip, the Artemis II astronauts discuss the importance of describing visual information during their lunar flyby in April — and all the training they had to undergo to do it effectively.

This week in the @Space_Station cupola, I was struck by the topography of the Northern Patagonia Icefields. There are so many incredible places to explore both on and off our home planet. Enjoy some Earth Art, happy Friday! Nikon Z9, 400mm lens.

Space stations can do gymnastics! Look out the Dragon window and watch us flip direction. In order to boost station, we had to change the direction it was pointing, so NASA engineers flipped it around, and, here, you can see it flipping back. This movie was made from 5500 still images that were taken last night and stitched together. The images were not changed but I did increase and decrease the frame rate to give you a better sense of the movement and Earth.
