I decided to shoot the Horsehead & Flame Nebulae since I already had my color camera attached for the comet. This uses no filter so it’s displaying true RGB color. #nebula #horsehead #horseheadnebula #flamenebula #ngc2024 #ic434 #astronomy #astrophotography #space #askar #fra400 #asi294mcpro

I can't begin to explain what it's like here. So I won't bother.

NEWS OUTLETS COVERING CLIMATE CHANGE SHOULD NOT BE TAKING MONEY FROM FOSSIL FUEL CORPORATIONS END OF STORY

My county has a median household income of $84,000 and just shy of 17% of people here rely on SNAP. Most people have no idea just how widespread the need for food assistance is.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

Immigrants didn’t take anything from you, and believing they did is proof in itself that your stupidity and bad attitude have always been the real problem

Women started fandom. Women started fanfic. Women started star Trek cons. Women invented beer, and the novel, while we're at it. Stop trying to erase women from spaces, you stupid, lazy, misogynistic fucks.

i’m just so mad because if we absolutely had to elect an unqualified media personality to be president we should have gone with either of the guys from CAR TALK

anti arab racism was really bad after 9/11 but the mamdani stuff is worse, at least at the elite level

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

VOTE BY ELECTRICITY

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Farewell to the great June Lockhart, who may well qualify as one of the most meaningful actresses who's ever lived. ❤️

the federal government is waging war on citizens living in areas that didnt vote for donald trump, its insane

Kudos to the State of Massachusetts for putting this message on the SNAP page. Put the blame where it belongs!

Did I just pass Donna Hayward’s car on my way to do errands this morning? #TwinPeaks

The Star Trek thing (see previous RTs) pisses me off not just bc it's obviously wrong but bc it's based on a deep misunderstanding of Trek, the least macho SFF franchise in which everyone abandons greed and aggression in favor of problem solving while wearing bright primary colors

Disabled people can look good, wear nice clothes, have a nice home etc... They're still disabled. Disabled people can go on holidays, have social lives, hobbies, etc… They’re still disabled.

This is quite a picture. Taken by #TwinPeaks community favorite Jill Watson. #PalmerHouse

Duel to the death between wife and mistress in the 1906 Danish melodrama THE OTHER WOMAN

Here’s my cover for Justice League Unlimited 15 Had funny coming up with my own roster

it took a few hundred years, but China is finally getting revenge on the West for the opium trade in the form of short-form vertical video

The overarching theme of Trump 2.0 is that reality doesn't exists, that the material world is simply fodder for Posts, and that if something gets attention and retweets the people trying to stop you are irrelevant scolds. And they're going to extend that principle to actual war on a foreign nation

"Most Trekkies are Republicans" I am not going to dignify that with a response

why are we preparing for a possible war on Venezuela, the hell is this shit

There needs to be another corporate victim besides Target over the anti-DEI betrayal.

being trebucheted into a warm pile of cheesy bread would fix me

"Ask ChatGPT" I would rather walk into the woods until I find the Tootsie Pop owl

the thing about telling obvious lies is that it’s usually pretty easy to figure out that they’re obvious lies sorry that you couldn’t come up with a good excuse for having a nazi tattoo on your chest for the simple reason that there is no good excuse for having a nazi tattoo on your chest

okay that’s funny

Murdering people because you suspect they are criminals is not law enforcement.

sometimes i remember "calque" is a loanword and "loanword" is a calque and i get so pissed off

It’s so sick that Rob Zombie’s biggest hit is about The Munsters car

An immigrant couple is instructed to only feed their child more expensive pasteurized milk in THE ITALIAN (1915). When the husband is robbed and wrongfully imprisoned, the wife is forced to buy cheaper raw milk and the baby dies from it. This kind of social commentary was common in the 1910s.

Other person: I have an anxiety disorder ME: Not me, my anxiety is extremely well organized

zero tolerance for nazism should be an easy line to draw

A barred spiral galaxy, observed with the Apache Point 2.5m Telescope in the SDSS survey. It is at redshift 0.039 (lookback time 549.7 million years) with coordinates (247.57811, 24.73862). 48 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo 2.

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

Sad to hear of the passing of Nabil Shaban. RIP Brilliant as Sil In Vengeance On Varos and Mindwarp.

During Covid I went wild and read a ton of 1930s sci-fi fanzines, and science fiction fandom has always had a) women and b) men insisting there aren't any women

To this I would add: Prodigy was launched in 1984 and arguably the first true precursor of the public community/social web as it is today. Guess what much of it's early growth was built on: Women talking Star Trek, fanfic and Kirk/Spock slash. (To the confusion of its corporate backers)

Very wild how much the mere concept of a Covid vaccine completely broke apart a large group of americans minds. Like 70% of streamers like “bro we gotta vote for the Nazis because someone told me to take medicine”

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

Happy Horror Month to goth Daddy, bisexual icon Vincent Price.

Everything is making me either angry or sad tonight. So here’s sassy Tuvok.

It's clear from today's AP photos that Trump has entirely demolished the East Colonnade—added to the White House by Thomas Jefferson in 1805—and restored by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902. The East Colonnade didn't occupy the footprint of the Trump "ballroom"—its demolition was completely unnecessary.
