KEXP 🤩 my first radio love!

How do you know when you've caught one? // I know nothing about this process

They love you 😍 se sweet

Yesss!!! That's great news!

Ha! Yes, I feel that. I'm impressed with your efforts! Seems extra special if you catch one yourself, like hunting/foraging for your own food!

Thank you! And-- Go you!!!

I'm finally feeling accomplished in making bread. My first ones I was making a little over a year ago just didn't seem as good as these now. I've had a change in location/oven, certainly more patience now than I first had, and I think this is a stronger starter than I had before too!!

Did you order starter or are you catching wild yeast? We got ours from a friend and I feed it like it's one of my house plants 😜

🙃 I did think about that! Turns out it's a circumzenithal arc -- "an optical phenomenon caused by the refraction of sunlight through plate-shaped hexagonal ice crystals in high-altitude cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. It appears as a vivid, colorful arc centered on the zenith (directly overhead), often mistaken for a rainbow due to its bright, prismatic colors. Unlike rainbows, which form opposite the sun and result from light refracting through raindrops, the circumzenithal arc forms when sunlight enters the top face of ice crystals and exits through a side face, creating a distinct upside-down appearance with colors ranging from violet at the top to red at the bottom."

It really didn't make sense in my brain having the sun below it. Because I've seen them around the sun, but never looking like a smiley face!

Ok cool!! The sun was below it

Just sent you one, lmk if it worked because my first one I don't think went through for some reason. I'd just got amethyst and sent through there, but possibly some issue with relays? Unsure...
