I love space. And making creature. And Space. And Space themed symbolism. And also Space-

A digital painting, set with a background of stars and space. Closest up is a realistic depiction of a yellow star, lighting up space. Dark black claws cup the star, and a long, pitch black forked tongue curls around it. The claw and tongue are that of the star eater, standing to the right of frame, a dark, barely visible outline against the night. Its jaws split apart, both horizontally, and vertically as its muzzle splits down the middle to frame the star with long, pitch black fangs. Its eyes are a piercing white, and it has ears similar to what one might find on a wolf. Its neck is disjointed vertebrae, leading down to a chest made only of a ribcage. Between the ribs, at the creatures heart, a blackhole spins and sucks in everything the Stareater touches. The inside of the creatures jaws are lined with the same color of the blackholes accretion disk, reds and oranges that slowly fade into that almost white, before disappearing into the creatures throat, or more accurately, event horizon

✨ quote repost with your art that has stars ✨

Digital drawing of a woman floating in space as though she’s floating in water with her hair spread on the imaginary water’s surface. Only her head, lower legs, and one arm is visible with water ripples surrounding her. All around her is outer space and flowing white threads.

It started just weeks ago with targeting people like Badar Khan Suri and Rumeysa Ozturk and Mahmoud Khalil on flimsy "foreign policy" grounds, and it's already expanded much further:

NEWS: It began with Mahmoud Khalil. Now the Trump admin is trying to deport *hundreds* of students by vaguely saying they have criminal records—making them guess why.
Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime.

One's "criminal record"? Apparently being a domestic violence victim.

Trump Is Trying to Deport Students Who Show Up in a ‘Criminal Records Check.’ But Many Have Never Been Convicted

What began with Mahmoud Khalil has now expanded into widespread immigration status revocations with no explanation and little apparent recourse.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.
