How it feels to be alive lately.

by Sarah Andersen

In shit news, @james died. It's pretty shocking; he was 49 years old. Long time cycling advocate, more recent accessibility advocate, all around solid and cool man; zero surprise he chose resomation for his remains.

TIL: resomation is water cremation. How cool.

Death Notice of James Gallagher (Kilglass, Roscommon) | rip.ie

The death has occurred of James Gallagher of Kilglass, Roscommon Ireland, on 04/05/2026. You can view the full death notice and add your condolences here.

I wrote my semi-regular emails to politicians. And I'm writing about it here to maybe inspire a few of you to write another email to your politicians about any of the many things that need fighting right now. It's one of those things that is important in aggregate, so keep doing it, even though it sucks.

Ordered a few small things for the kids, from Decathelon, I paid for delivery as it’s a ~40 minute drive, both directions, away from my gaff.

Tracking number arrived and it’s going to take 11 days for delivery…

Apparently the stuff is being shipped from the Netherlands, instead of Ballymun 🤦‍♂️

Satellite imagery shows that at least 46 towns or villages in southern Lebanon have been heavily damaged or, in some cases, entirely flattened by the Israeli Defence Forces. Bellingcat is publishing Planet satellite imagery for the entirety of the south of Lebanon. It shows that much of the demolition and destruction has taken place in recent weeks. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/05/14/satellite-imagery-shows-ongoing-demolitions-across-southern-lebanon/?utm_source=mstdn

DCAR Statement

Just in case anyone has forgotten it was Bertie Ahern who pauperised this country in 2008. In the interests of providing a permanent financial guarantee to the banks and international capital the governance of the Irish economy was handed over to an International troika and tens of thousands of jobs were lost. Those who kept their jobs suffered swinging pay cuts.

I have a bit of time on my hands, so let's do another 24h round of #AskAnAstrophysicist, but this time it's a thematic one.

⭐ What do you want to ask an astrophysicist about stars? ⭐

(I am a professional astrophysicist, part of whose work concerns itself with high mass stars & their winds and I've also taught a variety of astro university courses)

Boosts welcome. I may not be able to reply to all in case of many questions.
