Yeah, science b*tch.
Space is, and let us make no bones about this, the cat's whiskers. The news each day is grim, and seemingly only ever grimmer. So it makes a refreshing change once in a while when those fine folk in the whitecoats deliver some fascinating, albeit existential, updates. But even here, there is better and worse: for better, for example, in the last year alone a rogue black hole was spotted on its own for the first time, NASA’s DART Mission hit an asteroid in a first-ever planetary defense test, and astronomers revealed the first image of the black hole at the heart of our galaxy. Very nice, very cool. Very space.
However, it seems we never learn when to leave a good (and very big, scary) thing well enough alone from the claws of capitalism, as Virgin Galactic plans to launch its first space tourism flight. In any case, we can't exactly blame their curiosity. The study of space has captivated our tiny minds for millennia, and it remains a beautiful, fascinating, frightening, and silent enigma. There are endless mysteries up there, and the question for us is whether they are best left well alone. Or, in the immortal words of Ian Malcolm, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should."
So let's give it up for the magnificent beauty and ceaseless, elusive terror that is #space.
There’s only so many self help books u can read . And so many inspiring quotes u can digest. You can’t run away from yourself. I mean u can try . But eventually you will get really, really tired. Sometimes just sit in silence with yourself . And exist with no expectation. Breathe. You’re alive . Can you feel your blood running through you? Rome wasn’t created in a day. Your whole life won’t happen in 24 hours . Some days your life is slow. Sometimes it whizzes past. What really matters is your connection with yourself . Everything else is good if you are connected with your inner needs….

FREE PALESTINE.
god knew id be too powerful if I was socialized properly
Please do not let history repeat itself. Don’t stand with genocide.
Thanks to social media, news can spread like wildfire. But the support we give to Palestine should not be treated like a trend. Don’t stop liking, commenting, retweeting and sharing information and posts about Palestine. Don’t stop listening to Palestinians. Remember all who have suffered, all who have died, all who are trapped, all who have lost families and friends.
Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.
The dehumanization of Palestinians in mainstream media and news is massive, I have never seen it this bad in my entire life and it has been abhorrent long before this. It terrifies me to know how widespread it has become especially throughout the imperial core - however - I have also never seen this many people talk about Palestine, either. Palestinian liberation is something on a lot of people's minds now, solidarity efforts are global and I've seen people from all corners of the globe voicing their support. It's astounding
