It’s OUR time. Today I’m announcing my run for state senate in WA’s 43rd district because we know we can win a Washington we can all afford - but politics as usual won’t get us there. People-power & leadership as visionary as our district will. Learn more and join us at hannahforwashington.com.

Beautiful piece, lovely animations I'm a sucker for them But also I go feral for the intersection of culture and space

مرگ خامنه‌ای را به همه آزادی‌خواهان تبریک می‌گوییم. مزه تلخی در این شیرینی انجام این اعمال توسط دولت‌های فاشیست اسرائیل و آمریکا است. اگر با نوکرهای دوزاری خود مانند رضا پهلوی برای مصادره انقلاب در مبارزات مردمی مداخله و تفرقه نمی‌کردند، شاید زودتر این روز را می‌دیدیم.

#PPOD: Astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star R Doradus were obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in July and August 2023. 🧪 🔭

Jupiter bonanza scheduled for JWST starting this Friday 🔭 - woo hoo! The teams are calling on amateur astronomers to assist with context imaging of the Solar System's largest planet.

KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Three creators working within Lancer's creative ecosystem told @newmadras.bsky.social that the mech RPG's large fan community isn't just dedicated -- they're indispensable collaborators.

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

#FC2026 #FurtherConfusion Get hype!! So excited to gush about art supplies with y'all.

Anti-ICE protesters are having a rolling noise demo and protest in downtown Minneapolis targeting hotels where federal agents are reportedly staying -- starting at the Canopy by Hilton and going to the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel. Police have just arrived as we are posting this.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

@resisttechmonop.bsky.social NICE HELLO

libshit wikipedia editors are trying to neutral voice the current illegal aggression against venezuela only to get told by a venezuelan editor that he is literally being bombed right now. un-fucking real

When clocks strike midnight on the first day each year, a quiet creative revolution starts as hundreds of works move from private control into the public domain, unlocking stories, songs, and images for anyone to reuse. The world celebrates this big moment with an official Public Domain Day. (1/2)

Stop being savvy. Stop thinking like a pretend grown-up pragmatist Start acting like an actual human being, rather than a ruleset for the worlds most annoying debate club.

I hit a milestone in my mental health recovery journey: found meds that work for me AND leveled up on my Zen practice to noticeable levels. I made 39 finished art pieces AND 65 Trash Book pages. I took 12 commissions! Which is huge for me, because previously I had a hard time with them.

A kingfisher made from a circular saw blade, paint pen, and spray paint. I sketched it, Echo cut it out and added the copper eye, and I painted it. This was a gift, but we'd love to make more birds like this! What birds would you want to see?

I'm immediately posting this nerd shit to r/lancerRPG

okay!!!

I'm giving out this star, so get it while you can folks

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend

Taming the Edge: Lithium meets fusion plasma on ST40 Watch lithium injected into plasma in our ST40 tokamak - a key step in improving fusion performance. Lithium helps calm energy bursts (ELMs) and boost energy confinement. Our ST40 tokamak is the perfect platform to test future fusion tech.

And the nice thing about this event is that it was *not only* tracked by professional astronomers, the amateur astronomy community quickly turned their telescopes towards NGC 3621 to catch the supernova as well. I watched and imaged it evolving over months from my backyard! 🔭🧪

ICYMI, VLT observations have revealed the unique shape of a star’s explosion just a day after detection. It's the first time that astronomers unveil the shape of the explosion at its earliest stage, providing insights into the deaths of massive stars. https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520/ 🔭 🧪 ☄️

Sol works SO incredibly hard and yet still puts aside so much time to support others and contribute to fandom projects. Sol’s art has likely impacted you in some way. The fandom wouldn’t be the same without him. Please consider supporting this GFM!!

Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)

So real talk 🧵: When my dad left my mom to raise my sister and I on her own, she turned to government assistance to make ends meet. It was enough to keep a roof over our bed, food on the table, and kept us successful in school. 1/X
