This was a homophobic hate crime, plain and simple, and no watered-down statement from San Antonio PD is going to change that fact.
My heart goes out to his poor husband.

On the outside I may look calm and collected but on the inside I'm endlessly screaming about the fact that we're mere WEEKS away from receiving images and data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
I will not be able to be normal about this, I fear.

3200 megapixels. A new image every 40 seconds. Hundreds of petabytes of data. And a team that made it real.
@NSF–@DOEscience Rubin Observatory is nearly ready to #CaptureTheCosmos. But the idea for it began with a puzzling discovery 30 years ago... 🔭🧪

My friend's (very timid) new puppy instantly crawled into my lap when I first met her.

Thinking about that one time, years ago, when I found out a local (Canadian) university professor was being paid by the Heritage Foundation to peddle anti-science views so I sent my compiled evidence to the university and our local news station. No response. Wonder if they'd change their tune now?

Also FFX, but for me it was Yuna! Back then I didn't even know you *could* be a woman and be attracted to other women but, whew, young me had some serious neuron activation happening during her cutscenes

Me reading the synopsis of a book trying to figure out if it has a sapphic romance but no pronouns are mentioned and the main characters are just referred to as "soldiers" or "assassins" or "roommates"

This has been my strategy for the past 18 years and I can confirm none of my problems have been solved but at least I have amassed an infinite number of obscure and irrelevant facts, should the need arise

For my fellow #horrormovie fans looking to support #Canadian cinema, check out "Possessor" (2020). Normally I'd give a short blurb here but honestly, going in blind is the best way to experience this one.

When I went to buy my own copy of Earthlings by Sayaka Murata, the cashier went "Oh, this looks cute!" and I had to warn her against reading it 😭 Do not let the adorable stuffed hedgehog mislead you!

Adding to my #BuyCanadian movie recs:
"You Can Live Forever" (2022) – A beautiful, bittersweet love story between two teenage girls, one of whom is a devout Jehovah's Witness. This one hit so close to home it had me sobbing for a good hour.
TW: religious trauma/homophobia

For everyone wanting to #BuyCanadian, don't forget to also rent/buy/stream Canadian movies & shows! Such as:
"I Like Movies" (2022) – A socially awkward, movie-obsessed Canadian kid (relatable) dreams of becoming a famous director while working part-time at a video rental store.

Sometimes when I doomscroll too hard I channel some of my rage into supporting my favourite charities, like Frontera Fund, which primarily helps at-risk WOC get the healthcare they need. It's one way to stay sane and strengthen community in these wild times. #abortionaccess #abortionishealthcare
