With this intro, I started Oni House Press. Oni House Press is truly a passion of mines to see a change in the publishing industry and to bring light to marginalized voices. Unfortunately in this world I need capital to make that happen. this $50,000 will go to the cost the new anthology I have in the works: the cost of the cover, the cost of paying people for their work, marketing efforts, and of course shipping the work.This will as well go to the cost of publishing On Sundays by up and coming author Yah Yah Scholfield as well as other projects I have coming such as another poetry collection and a possible triolgy. Now y’all know that if we don’t reach this goal we won’t get the money so even if you can’t donate boost the hell out of this and maybe pass it on to someone who can!!

Thank you to all those who donate and thank you for helping Oni House Press.

HiPOD 4 September 2019: The Bedrock Riddles of Nili Fossae

   This image of the Nili Fossae region, to the west of the great Isidis basin, shows layered bedrock with many impact craters. Nili Fossae is one of the most mineralogically important sites on Mars. Remote observations by the infrared spectrometer onboard MRO (called CRISM) suggest the layers in the ancient craters contain clays, carbonates, and iron oxides, perhaps due to hydrothermal alteration of the crust. However, the impact craters have been degraded by many millions of years of erosion so the original sedimentary, impact ejecta, or lava flows are hard to distinguish.

The bright linear features are sand dunes, also known as “transverse aeolian dunes,” because the wind direction is at ninety degrees to their elongated orientation. This shows that the erosion of Nili Fossae continues to the present day with sand-sized particles broken off from the local rocks mobilized within the dunes.
