Black and white photo of a fluffy long haired tabby kitten - I think it is orange but could be grey. He is sitting 3/4 profiled to the left but looking straight at the camera with a teeny little blep poking out.

Baby blep! Postcard from my collection - copyright 1900, mailed 1907.

Stars form in large clouds of gas and dust called nebulae that scatter the visible wavelengths of light our eyes can see. The longer wavelengths of infrared light can pass through the cloud relatively undisturbed. Hubble’s near-infrared capabilities and high resolving power make it an important tool in the study of how stars form. Dubbed “Mystic Mountain,” this is a region of the much more extensive Carina Nebula. In it, towers of cool hydrogen gas laced with dust are seen to rise along the nebula’s wall. At the top, a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust is being eaten away by the brilliant light and winds from nearby stars. The pillar is also being pushed apart from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas that can be seen streaming left and right from the tips of the peaks. NASA, ESA, and M.

DIGNITYS

ALWAYS DIGNITYS

My former Florida cat sees snow for the first time today. We are both happy to be free of Desantis.

My therapist told me "write letters to the people you hate and burn them." Dude that, but now I don't know what to do with letters.

Good morning!☕️✌️

They don't make noise like they used to (says grumpy old man who shouts at clouds):

Picture of price tag showing a generic equivalent of Plan B for sale at Costco for $5.99 each.

Costco Pharmacy sells Plan B at the lowest price I’ve seen around. Locations in metro Atlanta sell the generic for $5.99 & the brand name for $37. Prices may vary depending on where in the country you’re located but not by much. Membership is not required to use the pharmacy services either.

Sweet dreams 😴

Hello World!
My first post, hmm…I won’t go deep. I’ll start with the cat tax.
This is Reznor.

Latest book haul. In my house, we don’t call it CRT. We call it history, and we learn about the things that define us as people.

book shelf labels pointing down to "Shakespeare plays" and up to "Shakespeare studies"

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
