Here to hang out and chat about life, my hobbies and my cats! I am owned by two Maine Coons, Prospero (Perry) and Artemis (Misty). I love #pottery, dabble in fountain pens, am interested in the world, and obsess over US/UK politics more than is good for me

How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?

This is a staggering cool JWST image of one of the most terrifying star systems I have ever seen. Apep is a monster… *three* monsters, actually, and blasting out radiation and dust and junk at speeds to freeze the soul.

A ridiculously jaw-dropping JWST image of a fantastically terrifying star system
Apep consists of three immense and immensely powerful stars blasting out a fierce dusty wind

She’s done much worse than this in the past, this isn’t bad!
The Red Room, in which a tree is given a fabulous hat.
This year's theme is "Home is where the heart is" with a nod to the upcoming 250th, and the blue in this image are supposed to be butterflies.
Except for the placement of the chandelier, I don't hate it.

someone do an 'aesthetic' christmas card that's a bit more accurate. A row of semi-detached houses with brown gardens under a grey sky. Some kid in a quilted coat that makes them basically round has dropped their glove in a puddle. It is raining.
The English winter is so rarely the aesthetic kind with snow and robins on fenceposts you get on christmas cars. Right now, for example, it's just pissing it down with icy rain

When I write about about Shetland ponies, I am writing about love. Love for #Shetland, it's windswept hill and wild sea. Love for island memories of independence despite exploitation & love for the ponies who helped folk survive & who still connect people to land & history.

There was a time when I had a business that required a lot of digital storage. We paid $20,000 (around $40k in today’s dollars) for a 5-foot-high stack of interconnected drives.
They had 54 gigs of storage! Less than half of the iPhone I got for free when I signed a 2-yr contract.
