The US gov is /slowly/ changing it's tune about Israeli aggression in occupied Palestine. I've been calling my senators and house rep every day. Here's the call script that I'm using today to call my house rep, in case anyone else would like to use it. #FreePalestine

An image of a beautiful sunset off the coast of the Big Island. Volcanic rock rises out of the water, the waves roll gently against the sand, and the clouds in the distance turn shades of pink purple and orange.

An image of what should be an exoplanetary system, but which instead looks like if the eye of sauron and a blue jolly rancher got really intimate
again, not what my reduction should look like. maybe it should be hanging on the wall of some college dorm

I'm sending a little money and I'd encourage you to as well -- Lahaina was the capital of the Hawaiian kingdom pre-colonization, and people are hurting both because of the direct damage from the fires as well as the refreshed cultural wound.

a thicket of brambles lay across a little trail in the cloud forest north of Kona, Hawaii. A little tunnel has been cut to let hikers squeeze through. the greenery along the sides of the trail is a lush green, and sunlight pokes through the tree cover overhead.
i was on a lil run yesterday and found this super pretty bramble arch! i felt like a little hobbit adventurer passing through :-)

i've been thinking a lot about this -- how when you let capitalists take the reins, they completely cannibalize whatever thing they're trying to mine for profit. it's such a quick turnaround of acquire -> extract -> obliterate. it feels so opposite to being human.

hi bluesky! i'm following astrotwitter onto a new platform and should probably introduce myself ๐ญ
i'm a PhD student at UCSC studying exoplanets with high-contrast imaging and building instrumentation! i think a lot about balancing hardware & science and making astronomy more equitable.
