PSA: Don't ever joke about suicide. Not EVER. I'm talking about cutesy little social media posts like "I got coffee so now I don't need to kms 🥰". I'm talking about that "killing myself: postponed" meme. I'm talking all of it and I'm done with making "gentle reminders" about it.

some amazing things happening over on threads — ever since they “shut down CERN”

CERN has to be real. Why do the days magically feel longer again? I keep looking at the clock in disbelief.

Honestly... I can feel the immediate difference with CERN turning off. It's like turning off the annoying big light in the house that's been on for last 4 years. It's like finally getting some quiet after being immersed in a screaming heavy death metal concert or rave for days and days. It's like there's no restrictions. No hindrances. No more delays. I feel free.

They turned off CERN and now the days feel twice as long. I'm TIRED

Call me crazy, whatever ya whatever you want but since CERN shut down their machine time IS slower (i saw somewhere that our minutes are actually 60 seconds long again after being 45 seconds since COVID, ive had a mild frontal headache for 2 days and just had this weird energy around me. I can't be the only one, right?!

"Carrying the Light" It's incredibly humbling, for me to be standing at a site that's 6000 years old. This is a Neolithic dolmen (burial mound), that was converted into a Christian chapel in the 17th century. #astrophotography #nightscapes #landscapeastrophotography #milkyway

A small white-and-blue chapel, originally a 6,000-year-old Neolithic dolmen, sits nestled among cork oak trees under a vast Milky Way in the dark Alentejo sky.

A man in a bright orange jacket stands with his back to the camera, holding a lantern that casts a warm pool of light on the dirt path. The Milky Way arches overhead as he passes the whitewashed dolmen-chapel on the right.

A couple of recent targets I imaged and processed in PixInsight. NGC 7000 the North America Nebula, and NGC 6992 the Eastern Veil Nebula. Both captured using 2 different dual-narrowband filters, to get H-alpha, Sulphur-II and Oxygen-III wavelengths of light. #astrophotography #ngc7000 #ngc6992

Been doing some re-organizing of my astro imaging data, that i’ve been procrastinating for far too long. I didn’t have a proper filing system when I started 3 years ago, and have gone through a few different folder hierarchies before settling on one earlier this year.

Photographing the Milky Way looks harder than it is — a short list of camera settings and one good, dark, moonless night. I wrote down the exact setup I use: RAW, manual focus, the real shutter/ISO numbers, the lot. jonathanpoh.photography/milky-way-ph... #astrophotography

Give me a fucking break. I’m a 52 year old gay man. I was a teenager in the late 1980s when the entire world described us as immoral, disgusting, disease carriers. People were arrested for “gross indecency” for kissing in public. Homophobic attacks were routine and somehow I’m not a fucking Nazi.

In tech people moved away from using rhetoric like “master/slave” in database replication and version control systems switched from “master” branches to “main” branches and this feeble little snowflake thinks that’s a form of oppression. He also thinks you can’t say “master bedroom” any more.

The “getting deported for your beliefs” discussion is missing that even if someone was antisemitic, that’s neither illegal nor a crime. It follows that if you defend someone from blatantly illegal government overreach by saying “but he’s not antisemitic” you’re only moving the Overton window.

Sharing with ALT text for those who aren't aware of the ongoing real world implications for trans people in the U.S. "I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state..."

r/trans
u/RedRhodes13012⚫ 4h
Seeing people deflate when I explain simple facts of my reality bums me out.
Vent
"No, I can't go on that cruise to Italy with you, because I'm struggling to get a passport that doesn't put me in danger. I'm scared I might have trouble getting home."
"Yes, I'm looking at other job opportunities/leaving my position working at school, which I love so much. It's becoming unsafe for people like me to work with children - I got a death threat the other day."
"Will the doctor/therapist/etc. you're recommending be safe for someone like me?"
"Before I meet your parents, I need to know if they know about me. Will I be safe?"
"I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state for your wedding and need to use the restroom at the venue, I'm sorry."
Seeing it actually register on people's faces that this is my life- that these policies are real and affect real people they know and love- is a really bitter pill. On one hand, it's sad to have to break such depressing news. And on the other hand, it feels so isolating and infuriating that people who love me apparently have no clue any of this is happening unless I take the time to inform them.
Just needed to get that out. Thanks for listening.

Took a drive out to Sines and Porto Covo yesterday for some location scouting, trying to find a good spot to photograph the lunar eclipse on Friday morning. Found a very cool island with a fortress ruin on it - Ilha do Pessegueiro.

Landscape photo shot on a mobile phone. Sandy beach in the foreground, an island in the mid-ground, covered in grass and low vegetation, and the ruins of a fortress on its peak. Ominous cumulonimbus clouds fill the sky.
