there is value in people from unexpected demographics signifying allegiance to progressivism; it makes vulnerable people feel safer around them/in public, and it gives others from their demographic “permission” to join them - as most humans won’t swim against a current alone

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

The End of the World - Gator Days
The End of the World - Gator Days

Transcript

Panel 1

August and Gustopher are walking home from the grocery store when they see a street evangelist spreading the good news about the end of the world with a megaphone. He is lifting the holy text "THE FINE BOOK" in the air. Whether or not this book is actually fine is hotly debated.

Street Evangelist: REPENT SINNERS! THE WORLD'S END IS NEAR!

Gustopher: It is?

Panel 2

August has lived through multiple declarations of the end of the world and is fairly confident that the world is not ending. Or if the world is ending, it's happening slowly and painfully.

August: No, the world isn't ending.

Gustopher: But what if it is? I have to live life to the fullest.

Panel 3

Gustopher is filled with determination. If the world ends, he's going to be absolutely sure that he has no regrets.

Gustopher: When we get home, I'm going to pet cats and play video games.

Panel 4

August: You do that every night.

Gustopher: I live each day like it's my last.

August and Gustopher went home, pet the cats, and played video games.

Found object art of what looks like a green dragon emerging from a broken green crayon. The real-life broken pieces of a Crayola crayon have been placed on the paper in an upside-down V shape, with the illustrated green dragon looking like it is just coming out of the broken bit. Little green bits are visible on the ground, as if they had fallen from the broken part as the dragon was emerging. Art by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.

Title of this piece: "Hope." As I recently told @smacquignon.bsky.social (thx for the reminder, Stephen), I've been obsessed with red balloons since watching Albert Lamorisse's 1956 film, The Red Balloon, when I was a kid. #KidLit #RedBalloon
A single red balloon floats against a gray background. Below it, a dense crowd of small black creatures with downcast, sad-looking eyes stand closely packed together. A single creature in the crowd on the right looks up at the balloon with an expression of hope. Art by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

A good news story from the Lake Tahoe area, where Hope and her cub Bounce were going to be euthanized as nuisance bears, hemmed in by development and necessity. But the community wouldn't let it happen, keeping watch, & working hard to retrain the bears. Now they seem to be out of danger for awhile.

Deep View of the Tarantula Region in LMC - Narrowband Bicolour - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/2mkXRi3
This image is a mosaic of two deep fields centered near the bright Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The field is filled with numerous bright colourful nebulae and star clusters (an annotated version is available here). At the LMCs distance of approximately 160,000 light years, the field of view seen here spans a massive 2850 x 1950 light years!
At this large scale the nebulosity seem to feature many bubble shaped voids of different sizes. These are formed by the radiation pressure from young star forming regions and shockwaves from ancient supernovae. The small but comparatively recent supernova remnant of SN1987a is also visible here, as a tiny pink dot in the upper part of the image - if you know where to look.

Image Acquisition details: 
Date: Jan-Feb 2021
Exposure: Ha OIII: 335:335 mins, total 14 hours 30 mins @ -25C
Telescope: Homebuilt 12.5" f/4 Serrurier Truss Newtonian
Camera: QSI 683wsg with Lodestar guider
Filters: Astrodon 3nm Ha/OIII and LRGB E-Series Gen 2

If someone puts a good meal in front of you, savor it; feel the joy flooding through you. Wait until between meals to think about the hungry and help them. If you are in a warm embrace, bask in love and luck without shame. In quieter moments, think of the lonely and send them a message.
