If you’re opposed to fascism, please make sure you’re working on internalized ableism.
The link between fascism, eugenics and ableism is well documented.
Fight for disability rights. Make resistance efforts accessible. Wear a mask & stay home when sick.

Anyone have any ideas on the best way to print and display #astrophotography? Does anyone have any examples of custom backlit printed astro work?
Printed my image of the Pleiades for an upcoming art show. Tried a new metallic paper. I like it but no matter how well it prints, it never looks as good as the digital image! Need to do a backlit version next time.
Guesses on total integration time?
