In the glittering sky above Rubin Observatory shines the Pleiades, or M45: an open star cluster with at least a thousand stars!✨
You don't need to be under some of the clearest skies on Earth (like Rubin is) to see M45! It's visible from October through April from most latitudes. 🌎 🔭

How Michael Parenti helped clarify the class war
With the death of Marxist thinker and anti-imperialist advocate Michael Parenti, many on the left have been reflecting on his life. For anyone committed to the working class struggle, Michael Parenti represented a strong voice against fascism and U.S. imperialism in an academic landscape dominated by State Department mouthpieces. I read Parenti for the first time in the autumn of 2016 at the ripe age of 23.

You may have heard of Enheduanna, the princess, priestess, and poet who is also the earliest named author in history.
Well, a tiny broken artefact made of lapis lazuli preserves the name of Ilum-pālil, her hairdresser. It is a fragmentary cylinder seal, excavated from a tomb in the city of Ur.

Does a “reform” further empower your enemies or take power and resources away from them? Some of you need to sit with this question.
