I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

We should be learning from other countries...

300k ‘banned’ queer march in Budapest as a turning point for Orban

this comes to mind

I think it is very important that Mamdani *as well as doing the conventional parts of his job well* is doing extremely effective and positive propaganda.

& there it is

"Planet Earth: You. Are. A. Crew."

Artemis II mission specialist Christina Koch reflects on what it means to be a "crew."

Despite Apocalyptic Warnings, California Fast Food Wage Hike Didn’t Kill Jobs UC Berkeley study finds employment held steady — and only pennies were added to menu prices.

Are you telling me that industry arguments about raising wages killing jobs or making prices skyrocket aren't true?!

a screenshot of an instagram post by user astro_christina, showing the moon in space, mostly dark but with light behind it and on a little crescent of it on the left-hand side. text reads "The most ominous thing I've ever loved. It wasn't just an eclipse with the Sun hidden behind the Moon...we could also see earthshine, the Sun's light reflecting off Earth, wrapping the Moon in a soft, borrowed glow."

Unrelatedly -- I love that Christina Koch put this up on her social media and I'm like "That is a BANGER short story title and/or first line of a poem (or last line of a poem)"

What's the most ominous thing you've ever loved?

Happy Day, Rebecca ~ ✨💗

The other way a whole civilization dies is by committing war crimes

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Come on then, and remove him.

yes, I was still completely taken by it tonight

Today was a joyful day to be a woman in science. May we all look forward to the boundless joy when it is over (and it will be over, someday).

I propose we build the entire government out of Artemis II

Reid Wiseman on #Artemis II: "We have Earth out window 4 and Moon out window 3... the Moon is about 3-4 times the size of the Earth and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there... it's magnificent... such a majestic view out here"

Mission Control: "Amaze, amaze, amaze!"

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

The Iranian embassy in Iran quote tweets Trump's insane 'Fuckin Strait tweet with the comment: "This low level of civility and intelligence shown by a leader of a country is regrettable; the shameful fervor with which intentions to commit war crimes are repeated is staggering; and the fact that the Divine is invoked regardless of ill intentions clearly exposes deep fanaticism. Apologies for sharing this language." Trump's tweet reads: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

my entire timeline on x is now just iranian embassies demonstrating a facility with the english language that puts everything i've ever read from the trump administration to shame

go to ‘wildflowers’ in trending

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

Treating an offer to not illegally deport US citizens as a concession is so 2026 I can't even. This country is so fucking fascist.

was surprisingly in flow on the wheel in ceramics today, studio humming, skylit, spring, so much love in the room & thought :: there is still this

(should add that readers in US/UK also to blame - if people here were ready to buy flimsy little paperbacks that look like they may crumble to dust if you stare at them for too long, we could have the sort of publishing breadth eg France still has!)
