WITCH HEAD NEBULA * IC 2118 (also known as Witch Head Nebula due to its shape) is an extremely faint reflection nebula believed to be an ancient supernova remnant or gas cloud illuminated by nearby supergiant star Rigel in the constellation of Orion. It lies in the Orion constellation, about 900 light-years from Earth. The nature of the dust particles, reflecting blue light better than red, is a factor in giving the Witch Head its blue color. Radio observations show substantial carbon monoxide emission throughout parts of IC 2118, an indicator of the presence of molecular clouds and star formation in the nebula. In fact candidates for pre-main sequence stars and some classic T-Tauri stars have been found deep within the nebula. The molecular clouds of IC 2118 are probably juxtaposed to the outer boundaries of the vast Orion-Eridanus bubble, a giant supershell of molecular hydrogen blown by the high mass stars of the Orion OB1 association. As the supershell expands into the interstellar medium, favorable circumstances for star formation occur. IC 2118 is located in one such area. The wind blown appearance and cometary shape of the bright reflection nebula is highly suggestive of a strong association with the high mass luminous stars of Orion OB1. The fact that the heads of the cometary clouds of IC2118 point northeast towards the association is strong support of that relationship.. Credit to Pablo Carlos Budassi.

Welp, if JK Rowling being executive producer and therefore being fully involved in the show wasn't enough for people to boycott, then here's HBO basically saying they don't care JK Rowling is a bigot from hell who literally helped lead a harassment campaign of lies against Imane Khalif in her transphobia and obsession with women being terf's standards of women alongside posting harassment against trans people on twitter at times, they gonna stand by her, while using the excuse, "personal views". Hmm, yes, personal views- that's one way to uh, call what the fuck JK Rowling comes out with a-lot- last I checked personal views do come with consquiences if said out loud....a thousand times in JK's case and still counting....especially if they hurt people, but hey, if it means making another Harry Potter project to milk, just let it fucking be I guess.
im seeing people on the tags like "fuck the kendrick lamar drake drama talk about palestine" like.
I've not seen ppl as mad about people blogging about other fandoms or hell, TADC (no hate! just wrong place at wrong time) which was trending here on tumblr at the same time as kendrick.
why are you specifically singling out people talking about a real life black man who constantly incorporates discussions of political issues, discrimination, and history of racism into his art.
this whole drama is about drake, who profits and the image of being black while being severely disconnected from the culture and history. (this didnt feel like a good explanation, many others in the tag have talked about it please check that out)
like think to yourself why are you mad at people talking about specifically kendrick over other fanbases
so ts trademarked female rage: the musical
after saying that during the ttpd part of her eras tour. I guess this is how she will try to get an emmy. Or she will release the eras tour new version under this name. Either way i find it a bit childish. I mean it is a saying on tiktok that she just trademarked. That is a bit of an overkill
She already has an Emmy.
'Female rage' is not 'a saying on TikTok' either. It's a saying that has been around for centuries! The trademark license has not been granted yet, and might not be because Swift didn't invent the phrase.
every two months taylor swift is like i’m going to make another album of me saying ooh aah baby your love was like a knife but i’m a flower and thanks to you i can now take in more water. and everyone goes crazy over it
Hind Rajab was a 5 year old girl in Gaza who was killed while she hid alone in a car, along with the paramedics who tried to rescue her. Yesterday students at Columbia seized the administration building and renamed it in her honor.

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.
The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.
The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.
The protests at Emory university in Atlanta have been met with the most violent police brutality by far. Students have been tased, tear gassed shot with rubber bullets and THEY WILL NOT STOP because they are courageous Beings with a heart to match and the common people will not accept anything less than a Free Palestine 🙏🍉
a zionist (who is related to the fascist zionist leader meir kahane) drove a car into a crowd of protesters in nyc today, and the police arrested the protester who was hit by the car and handcuffed them to their hospital bed
