I am hoping for better, expecting the worst.
An anniversary worth marking.
I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.
I have airport disease.
My doctor says it's terminal.
I'll stop now.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.
Hey, at least theyβre giving the land a vote in their mapsβfinally, representation for dirt and trees!

Long-haired tan and black tabby cat perched on a blue ledge of a cat tree.
Long-haired, gray and black tabby, cat standing and looking straight at the camera from the inside of a cubby. Thereβs a gray blanket on the ground.
Bluesky, looking for a home for an adorable bonded brother and sister born in the same litter in Northern VA. Kitties are 16 MO and need a loving home. These are 2 super affectionate and adorable furballs. Help me amplify this message to find these little ones a home this holiday season.

The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 oβclock and 6 oβclock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 oβclock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.
A massive cloud of gas and dust is seen in dark, dusty red, with its outer portions a translucent, ethereal gray. Several stars and distant galaxies are scattered throughout the image.
A circular-shaped nebula with a complex structure. On the circleβs exterior, particularly on the left side of the image, are curtains of material glowing orange like fire. Interior to this outer shell is a ring of mottled filaments in bright pink, studded with clumps and knots. A greenish loop extends from the upper right of the ring into the central cavity. Translucent wisps of blue, green, and red appear throughout the image.
The star cluster Pismis 24 lies within the much larger emission nebula called NGC 6357, located about 8,000 light-years from Earth. The cluster is seen here above a small portion of the nebula. The gas below the stars glows through ionization caused by intense ultraviolet radiation from the massive young stars within the cluster. The strong radiation and stellar winds from from these blazing, blue-white stars also pushes the nebular material outward, creating one of many low-density bubbles within NGC 6357.
once again thinking about the fact that this is all just OUT THERE and we can only see it through the eyes of telescopes

Hi everyone, Iβve decided that I want this space to be filled with beauty so hereβs my photos of the Aurora Borealis as seen from Alaska in September.
