Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.
And if, after watching, you'd like to help the Shappleys out now that they've left Texas, here's where to go: https://www.gofundme.com/f/trans-kids-family-searching-for-sanctuary
We watched this documentary at work today for #TransAwarenessWeek and it is both wonderful and heartbreaking. It's under 20 mins and worth every second: https://www.them.us/video/watch/kai-shappley-a-trans-girl-growing-up-in-texas

Babe, wake up, a new #JWST image just dropped.

Light from the protostar L1527 escapes above and below an edge-on protoplanetary disk (the dark line at the center of the image), creating an hourglass shape. This illuminates the cavities carved as ejected material from the star collides with the surrounding, dusty nebula.

Dust scatters shorter wavelengths of light, so blue areas are where the dust is thinner and orange areas are where the dust is more dense.

NASA’s Webb Catches Fiery Hourglass as New Star Forms

WebbTelescope.org
I am several scant weeks away from having been on this earth for half a century and I absolutely would not put my health (mental or physical) in the hands of a whimsical billionaire who has shrugged off people dying in his car factories.
His emerald mine overseer DNA is showing through again.

Look, I’m not saying that I miss being in Zoom meetings all day long.

But I do miss meetings being periodically interrupted by someone’s cat suddenly appearing. So clearly the solution is for more offices to have cats.

I didn't take this photo but I was with my husband when he did. It was breathtaking up on Stenbury Down on the Isle of Wight, watching the mist roll in at sunset. The sheep were surprised to see us and for once the weather did what we'd hoped it would do! #SheepofMastodon
I am absolutely livid that someone on Mastodon would want me to consider an "opt in" culture for white people to see racism. White people, on average and given the option, would NOT opt in. That's what white privilege does.
