Arrived here from the other place, where I was reduced to reposting all the dire things happening. That will probably continue, but hope to eventually post other things again too. Anti-fascism is not out of style.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

Looking more closely, you could find a dozen more that are recognizably galaxy-ish. But really? It's likely that EVERY LITTLE DOT AND SMUDGE is a distant galaxy. All of them. 🤯
