Can you trap a galaxy in a crystal ball? I tried! Back in 2018 I took this image of the Milky Way through a crystal ball from ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile.

Wednesday fans: help me understand the love for the show. I’m on episode six and while at this point I find the story interesting I continue to find Wednesday an unsympathetic character. She’s mean, elitist, condescending and hypocritical. I don’t believe that most of her ‘friends’ would like her. What am I missing? (For the record I love the old show/movies though I haven’t watched them for a few years).

This feels like a good time for lots of non trans people to loudly state the truth that trans people are good and more out and visible trans people is good for society.
The president shouldn't be able to just eat another turkey at Thanksgiving after pardoning the official one. Make POTUS have lasagna or baked ziti on Thursday. Put it in the Constitution.
@JonS1950 I found it online as part of a collection so I have a text copy that I print and teach to my students. I also have listened to LaVar Burton’s read-aloud version from his podcast.

Watching #WorldCupfifa2022 ? Then turn off the telly and #BoycottQatar2022. Over 1200 workers died in #Qatar in preparing for this event. Every game has blood on it. This goes way beyond worker safety, but is a sign of serious #HumanRights violations.

Want another reason? #Iran, whose government is threatening to execute over 10 thousand protesters in custody, is allowed to play. What's up #FIFA?

@JonS1950 @neilhimself @ColleenDoran I love this story. I had no idea there was a graphic novel version! I’ll have to get it!
So I have read the first of the graphic novels that I purchased. #Chivalry by @neilhimself, illustrated by @ColleenDoran. It's the first comic I have bought since I was about 10 years old, so 62 years ago. My only complaint is that I wanted it to be much longer. Maybe that's the point, to leave you wanting more? The story is subtlety told, and the illustrations are, well, a beautiful work of art. I really appreciated the illustrator's notes in the back too.
Well here I am actually taking a fucking sick day. I’m not that sick. Just a cold. But hoping to recover so I can still go to thanksgiving…
Talking about feelings with one’s adult friends is hard. That is all.
