A sprawling, textured field of galaxies scattered across the deep black of space. It is filled with the delicate smudges and glowing cores of galaxies of many shapes, sizes and colors, as well as the bright multi-colored points of stars. The image focuses on a collection of interacting galaxies connected by delicate streams of stars. At top center lies a large elliptical galaxy that is dense and smooth, like a polished stone glowing with golden light. Like delicate spider silk or stretched taffy, these stellar bridges link the large elliptical to the few larger galaxies beneath, evidence of past collisions. All throughout the image, thousands of galaxies gather in clusters or are spread throughout, like glittering gems strewn on a table. Some are sharp-edged and spiral, like coiled ribbons; others round and diffuse, like polished pebbles. Still others are just smudges of various colors against the black of space. The background is peppered with pinpoint stars in reds, yellows, and blues, crisp against the velvet black. A cosmic tapestry of glowing tan and pink gas clouds with dark dust lanes. In the upper right, the Trifid Nebula resembles a small flower in space. Its soft, pinkish gas petals are surrounded by blue gas, and streaked with dark, finger-like veins of dust that divide it into three parts. It radiates a gentle, misty glow, diffuse and soft like the warmth of breath on a cold hand. To the lower left, the much larger Lagoon Nebula stretches wide like a churning sea of magenta gas, with bright blue, knotted clumps sprinkled throughout where new stars are born. Both nebulae are embedded in a soft tan backdrop of gas that is brighter on the left than on the right, etched with dark tendrils of dust and sprinkled with the pinpricks of millions of stars. A sprawling, textured field of galaxies scattered across the deep black of space. It is filled with the delicate smudges and glowing cores of galaxies of many shapes, sizes and colors, as well as the bright multi-colored points of stars. To the lower left is a region filled with the hundreds of golden glittering gems of a distant galaxy cluster. In the foreground, below and right of center, two blue spiral galaxies look like eyes beneath the entangled mass of a triple galaxy merger in the upper right. A few bright blue points of foreground stars pierce the glittering tapestry.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

This is vile

Donald Trump just fired Paul Martin - the Inspector General of USAID - for issuing a report indicating that half-a-billion dollars worth of food for hungry people around the world was about to spoil.

So I guess the best thing we can do in response is to share that report far-and-wide.
USAID report on food spoilage due to Donald Trump and Elon Musk attacking the agency.

Please give Hillary's art merch a look. I've been a longtime fan and customer. I have at least five shirts with their artwork printed on the front. I get more compliments on those shirts than I can count. 🤍

Golden Sunrise - available exclusively @threadless I made this artwork with those affected by the California wildfires in mind: 80% of my Threadless artist earnings for this design will be donated to the American Red Cross.

Your MAGAnian language lesson for today:

MAGA: "We need to come together now ❤"

In English, this translates to "You need to fall in line."

The three lives of this t-shirt.
Was a work shirt. Was donated to me and became a night shirt. Now it is a placemat for my lil night table. 😊
(Note: colors look different because the pics were taken under different lighting)

‘Trump grants sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants, including rioters who violently attacked police’

I’ve read many headlines about this, and it’s is the only one that gets it right and references the beating of cops.

So if you’re gonna share an article, share this one.

Trump grants sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants, including rioters who violently attacked police
President Donald Trump has pardoned, commuted the prison sentences or vowed to dismiss the cases of all of the 1,500-plus people charged with crimes in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S.
