The Teton Range in Grand Teton National Park today, with a beautiful blue sky above, the grey-green of the sagebrush in the foreground, and the rock faces of the peaks of the Teton Range in the center. These mountains rise to nearly 14,000 feet, showing a hint of white snow here and there, and an occasional shadow from the passing clouds. Also in the center, a line of evergreen and deciduous trees, including aspens, pines, and firs. Thanks to the National Park Service and the Grand Teton National Park Foundation for these incredible views.

Our primary instance is shutting down and we ended up repurposing another account however it appears that instance is unstable and may be shut down at a future date so 3rd times hopefully don't have to jump ship again for a while #introduction - Updated: 2025-08-10

We're The Weather System (Athena's Realm System), We're Trans fem, and we're an officially diagnosed autistic, bipolar and dissociative identity disorder system, we a collection of various leftist, and believe strongly in queer, and neurodiversity rights movements, we view plurality in general as neurodivergence

Our pronouns are Su/Sudo/Suselves, however She/Her/Herselves, and They/Them/Theirselves

We are most likely to toot about #Medicine, with focus on #Genetics, #Epigenetics, #Bioinformatics, and #Neuroscience giving our focus back in uni was Genetics of Human Disease, and Neuroscience but we are likely to talk about a whole range of medical topics, besides medicine we are likely to toot about #meteorology and #geology, with specific interests in #SynopticMeteorology#TropicalCyclones / #Hurricanes / #Typhoons / #TropicalStorms, #ExtratropicalCyclones, #SubtropicalCyclones, and #Tornadoes, among other topic, and we may toot about #Geology, #Minerals, and #Vulcanology, and what ever else is on our mind, we collected #MyLittlePony and are a fan of every generation of MLP, also we collect #WildManes and Radioactive stuff and play #EliteDangerous

edit extra info: [Also to note we're storm chasers, so we may occasionally post photos and media from chases, our focus is usually on Tropical Cyclones within the Australian Region Basin with mainly focus on the Coral Sea, these will usually be marked with the Tropical Cyclone and Hurricane tags]

See attached thread for System Information, System Membership 58+

Our system name is subject to change, it was previously the Athena's Realm System, however only one member, arguably two members made that decision on behalf of the entire system, without consulting us, so we're in the process of trying out system names to see which fits us best, but for the time being we will display both "Athena's Realm" and the current trialing system name so it is less confusing for those who know us by our old system name

Yellowstone National Park last night (View from the Mount Washburn Fire Lookout).

Beautiful colors and panoramic views from the Mount Washburn Fire Lookout camera last night. The foreground shows a section of the trail system used to access the mountain. Lit by the sun, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone cuts through the center of the image. In the distance on the right, the Tetons in Grand Teton National Park can just be seen. Blue sky, an arrangement of clouds, green vegetation, sunlit canyon walls, combine to create a wonderful scene from one of the most spectacular sites in Yellowstone National Park.

Having discussed "fjärd", here's another landscape feature that's super common around Stockholm but apparently nowhere in the #English-speaking world: "häll". It's an almost horizontal, smooth, slightly convex expanse of gneiss or granite bedrock. It's what's left of a taller outcrop after the inland ice has ground it down. Maybe there's a #Scots word for it?

#Wavellite crystals #Arkansas#USA

Aluminum basic phosphate mineral with the formula Al₃(PO₄)₂(OH,F)₃·5H₂O, typically appearing in green to yellowish-green hues.
It was named in 1805 by William Babington in honor of Dr. William Wavell, a Devon-based physician and naturalist.
Wavellite commonly forms in fractures of aluminous metamorphic rocks.
