This is the mess that is left when a star explodes. The Crab Nebula, the result of a supernova seen in 1054 AD, is filled with mysterious filaments

Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.

The most cruel part? Cisgender kids CAN still access gender-affirming care. Boys with gynecomastia. Those who start precocious puberty. Progesterone for painful cycles.
But trans kids, if they need to same EXACT intervention? No way, they just have to suck it up and die

To be absolutely clear:
This is genocide. Fuck this administration. Fuck anyone who supports this.
And to the Democrats, I will not vote for ANYONE who does not full throatedly support my community, including gender affirming care for trans kids. Period.

All this will do is increase, dramatically, the suicide rate among trans kids.
Societies should be judged by how well they take care of their most vulnerable members. The United States in 2025 continues to fail this test.

I am fascinated by tubeworms and take ridiculous quantities of photos of them. These seasonally appropriate Christmas tree worms retract into their tubes quickly at the slightest disturbance so it's good practice to hover motionless while getting the shot. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans #coralreef

Who invented non-reflective glass?
American physicist & chemist Katharine Burr Blodgett in 1938.
It revolutionized optics--& led to the coatings used today in everything from eyeglasses to phone screens. She was the first woman to earn a PhD in #physics from Cambridge, 1926. #WomenInSTEM #inventor

Giant anemone (Condylactis gigantea) with a Spotted cleaner shrimp (Periclimenes yucatanicus) peeking out. It's very cool to hover and watch the tentacles swaying gently in the surf while you wait to see if a fish will approach for some shrimp-powered cleaning action. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans

Trump says he's expanding the travel ban to 30+ countries, & if a country doesn't have a "stable government," it's on the list. I'm willing to bet all 30+ nations are:
1. Black or brown majority
2. Nations USA has intervened to destabilize their Govt
White supremacy continues to thrive in 2025 USA.
