The Sun is in the first decan of Sagittarius right now, and icymi, I wrote about this decan last year! open.substack.com/pub/azuradas...

I realised yday that I hadn't done sections on my Substack page, so I went ahead and did that. There are three right now: Fixed Stars, Astrological Magic and Decans! azuradastra.substack.com

Stop thinking of COVID as if it's an acute cold. Think of it as a neuroinvasive virus you can get every year or two that slowly degrades your brain in ways that will harm your abilities and quality of life throughout your life. (2/?)

I just read my tenth #COVID19 research study in the past month or so that demonstrates COVID infections cause brain changes that may accelerate Alzheimer's disease, are associated with cognitive decline, and cause fatigue, memory impairment, and sleep disorders. (1/?)

i semi-regularly think about this concept and way of describing it and crack up. absurd

Y a un danseur qui s'appelait "Valentin Le Désossé" et il est né avec Pluton à l'Ascendant en carré à Saturne en domicile, en orbe de 2°, et Rahu sur le MC... Jpp www.astro.com/astro-databa...

Today I'm especially grateful for Lescaut's data collecting work because my current rabbit-hole truly wouldn't be what it is without it

Have to give a shout-out to @cielosueloastro.bsky.social for their Star Lords talk again. I rewatch it every once in a while and it's just full of gems. Icmyi: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-Kv...

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

oh whoa the models aren't just getting better and better consistently huh

Excellent day to create a new category in my database and dive into a brand new rabbit-hole of research

Solange Knowles’ Saint Heron has launched a free digital archival library of literature by Black and brown authors, poets, and artists. Readers can borrow rare and out-of-print books for up to 45 days

Yes yes yes! Black and white thinking will “leave you vulnerable to blindspots”!

An ongoing frustration of mine is the idealising and/or villainising of fixed stars and I wrote about it! azuradastra.substack.com/p/a-cosmolog...

C'est quand même quelque chose que des personnages comme Thomas Fazi puissent désormais régulièrement faire la une du Monde Diplomatique sans que cela ne fasse réagir ses lecteurs.

qui a vu de nombreuses personnes de gauche devenir extrêment poreuses aux réthoriques fascisantes. Il ne faut donc pas s'étonner qu'avec une telle endurance dans l'aveuglement on se retrouve collectivement si démunis. Mais il n'est pas encore trop tard regarder les choses en face.

Ils essaient donc tous·tes d'analyser une accélération politique phénoménale en oblitérant un évènement majeur qui a permis à l'extrême droite de recruter massivement, qui a mis des milliers de gens dans la rue pour la liberté d'abandonner les plus vulnérables,

Ici, en France, la quasi totalité des intellectuel·les et des revues étant tellement mouillés dans cette négation de la pandémie que la plupart des analyses récentes de la fascisation ne disent quasiment PAS UN MOT de la pandémie, des mouvements de négation, et de leurs conséquences politiques.

Aspects are undeniably the hardest part of the “basics” to get down because they’re not basic at all. They’re where we stop looking at things in isolation and bring them together to tell a coherent story.

conjunctions: we're blended, we're a chimera, we're peas in a pod, we're strange bedfellows sextiles: you get me, man squares: will you just go already? well then i'm going! trines: we're a team, what do you need oppositions: oh god, you again aversions: [ghostly wall tapping]

Did you know it was several decades before handwashing in hospitals was implemented after it was found to be necessary in 1846? We’re in the same boat today, except w/ airborne transmission—yes, in 2025. Unfuckingbelievable. So unnecessary, maddening, irresponsible, & dangerous. #MasksInHealthcare

It's utterly devastating to see decades of progress for the disability community being wiped out in just a few months. There was of course much work to be done, but now that effort will have to be devoted to clawing back the gains now being ripped away.

Just saw someone angrily blustering on Facebook that if the scaremongers were right, 30% of people would have long covid by now!!! And welp… www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/stu...

I don't know how to convince people that trans rights aren't some unique and special thing. It's literally just about healthcare, security, and identity. If America decides it can deny medication to Lisa because of who she is, then it can deny care to anyone.

Je vais essayer de changer votre point de vue sur le COVID en moins de 2 minutes.

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here

These are extremely good (and I say this as someone often dissatisfied by quick delineations *and* by descriptions of the Royal stars specifically)

Les médias conservateurs vivent assez mal le discours prononcé par Violet Affleck à l'ONU en faveur de la prévention du Covid. Ils l'accusent donc de "semer la peur", une critique classique et récurrente depuis le début de la pandémie contre ceux qui défendent la prévention. À dérouler 1/🧵

Pour la conférence sur la qualité de l'air à l'ONU la France a envoyé Anne Claire Amprou, "ambassadrice en charge des questions de santé mondiale" nommée par décret en 2022, qui ment sur les mesures pour la qualité de l'air dans les écoles, tout en évoquant, bien sûr, la pandémie au passé. 1/6
