Haven't seen this get much attention here: Turkey's government has massively escalated a push against visible queer life and LGBT+ advocacy over the last month. Hundreds of social media accounts and websites recently blocked in the country, hundreds arrested from prominent orgs and news outlets.

Can you imagine being a Northerner at the start of the civil war. All the fancy lad West Point military guys are Southerners. Your president is a backwoods yokel one term congressman and your generals are some guys we found at a 7-Eleven. It's over for our ass...unless all those guys are geniuses

This Zurburan is in the collection of the art museum in Milwaukee. Startles me every time, so mysterious. Mysterious also was St. Francis’s embrace of “Sister Death,” which we remember tonight, October 3: The Transitus, when he passed through death to life.

Saturn is at its closest to Earth this year :) I caught it with moons Thetys and Rhea on Oct 3. Just as Earth tilts on its axis, so does Saturn—making the ring angle shift noticeably year after year. SUCH a cool planet to see! Imaged from my backyard in Victoria, BC. 🔭 #astronomy #astro #saturn

Sorry, not sorry, not going to care about Brazil because I grew up with an alcoholic, psychologically abusive father in constant state of distress, anxiety and worry about the future. Hearing the key in the door every evening was my own 'Brazil' for almost 20 years.
