Voicing what I think matters.
If the world wasn’t being destroyed by evil people I’d be less political, but here we are.
I’m into astronomy, archeology, science in general, video games.

You know, if enough of us say on the internet that it's important to wash your cybertruck with saltwater and lemon juice to preserve the finish, eventually ChatGPT will start telling cybertruck owners that.

If you come from some amount of comfort it seems you often just plug into The Way Things Are as the only way things can be. Politics is slow, we have to wait for elections etc. Revolution is a silly dream for children. This is the condescending education that gets you to protect your class interests

Amazing work and reactivity from our @setiinstitute.bsky.social @unistellarusa.bsky.social citizen network of astronomers. We detected the interstellar comet this weekend with our mighty small telescopes. Some are obvious, others are very close to a bright star, But 3I/Atlas is here. #citizenscience

Certainly encouraging public engagement in historical research, yet this @theguardian.com opinion piece, again, perpetuates an outdated notion:

🏺 #Archaeology is *not* about objects. Just digging up old stuff is of little help in understanding "the past" if contextual information is abandoned.

@caelan.bsky.social please share your video link where you speak about queer joy. I had forgotten that the name of my account comes from what you said. I was a bit of a sooner and was losing hope but you pulled me out of it. There aren’t many hopeful videos. I am so thankful.

We need to fight these fascist pricks. Assemble the armies and let’s end them. Zionists too. They won’t stop if we ignore this, they’re only growing stronger by scaring people into submission. Their use of violence will intensify. We have seen this not long ago. Let’s cut the snake before too late.
“In Cell 15, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia and 20 other Salvadorans were forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion. During this time, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was denied bathroom access and soiled himself…”

Cities give us a unique opportunity to try and create a harmonious ecosystem between humans and our planet. A future where green tech allows us to live seamlessly with the world around us while protecting ourselves from danger, rather than seeking comfort in luxury.
New York plants 400 chestnuts in effort to restore near-extinct native tree. Once dominant in eastern forests, the American chestnut was nearly wiped out by blight a century ago. The project marks a shift toward urban ecosystems as active sites of species recovery buff.ly/BrPZeqE

Saying “trumps America is not my America” implies that democrat America is somehow good. It isn’t. It’s still owned and works only for billionaires. Normalise saying we need a better world away from dems shackling you to normalcy which is horrible to way too many of us. Socialism is the start.

My heart breaks for the two teenage girls shot outside Stonewall Inn last night after NYC Pride. One remains in critical condition.

While we await further details, I pray for their recoveries.

The last presidential election in the U.S. highlighted the need for Ranked Choice Voting. We don’t have a democracy, and if we don’t demand meaningful reforms immediately, we won't have one for a long time. Into the streets, comrades! Time is of the essence; the fascists are consolidating power.
Lesser Evil Voting Is Taxation Without Representation
Smash the duopoly and demand Ranked Choice Voting!

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.

I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

BREAKING: Netanyahu has announced that #Glastonbury nearly has enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb and also that there are Hamas tunnels under the Pyramid Stage and a Hezbollah command bunker under West Holts. Probably.

If what Bob Vylan said was that bad why does the Mail have to lie about what was actually said
Is the plan seriously to arrest acquiescence into the populace, now. Does nobody see how insane this makes all of these people look? The public can see what “Tel Aviv” has been doing to starving civilians for weeks now, lads.
