Self-Awareness

Same! I was also crying a lot. For a moment I could feel the asphyxia, the terror, and the helplessness all at once. I can't imagine being trapped in that for almost an hour, or dying slowly to the sound of my favorite artist. I hope they get real justice some day

Same. I can't fathom being trapped without air, having no control, and my favorite artist playing in the background while dying slowly.

Same, I can't believe the level of carelessness.

I just got on here to see the reactions. I had no idea how bad it really was, and I really thought that Travis Scott didn't know anything about it but he did. He can either make a real effort to make reparative justice or he can quit hit career. Live nation too.

I'm in complete shock after watching #Astroworld on #Netflix The level of carelessness and negligence is beyond belief. No one should ever go through that kind of trauma.

Sometimes the Moon passes directly in front of the beautiful Pleiades star cluster in a celestial event called an occultation! This composite image from Spain captures the Moon's visit. These monthly occultations last until 2029, then not again until 2042! Credit: Cayetana Saiz

Thou shalt not deport hard working, good people whilst importing vile criminals like the Tate brothers and still claim you have morals.

Thank you Claire 🩷

Also, I agree. That's exactly what they're going to do.

Just commenting here to remind people to continue to use the term Undocumented Immigrants. Let's not use the dehumanizing language of the oppressor.

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 couldn't be me

The lower-left quadrant of the image is filled with rusty-brown dust clouds dotted with a few bright stars. Hazy pillars of gas and dust rise up toward the right. A bluish-white glow fills the lower-right quadrant. The haze is more transparent as you move toward the upper right corner. Background is dotted with stars.

Viewed like a distorted donut, an inner circular nebula region glows in dark blue shades with faint stars viewed within. It's surrounded by a ring of bright teal, then an outer ring of reddish-orange. Black space with distant, faint stars fills the background.

A ruddy nebula is pierced through with orange stars on the right side of the image, and a large white star with diffraction spikes shines at lower left. A cavity in the nebula is seen near upper left with bright blue wisps of gas throughout.

A nebula with stars. The center of the image from top-left to bottom-right glows brightly with the light of newly forming stars and is partially obscured by dark dust. Colored layers of gas and dust billow out across the rest of the image. Foreground stars with large diffraction spikes speckle the nebula.

it’s during uncertain times like these that i turn towards the beauty of the cosmos 🌌

How does misgendering people help my quality of life? This government is a joke

I love Susan Ruiz, she's great 🩷

I never understood the musicians playing music while the Titanic sank.

Now I do.

Lock in for 90 minutes and take note, lots of useful information here!

Pro tip: if your senator's/congressperson's DC office doesn't answer or their mailbox is full, call their regional offices.

Most senators have six regional offices. Just google your senator and you'll find it on their website.

Keep calling until you get a person or can leave a message.

They said don’t make science political
But now scientists aren’t getting paid
They said don’t make science political
But now we’re backing up our data in fear of losing access to servers

But now our colleagues fear coming to work…

Wow, thank you for sharing and keeping her voice alive. I find myself feeling devastated and grieving for someone I never met, so I can only imagine what it's like for her loved ones 😞 May we always remember her and continue her work.

And you probably can't file for unemployment either. Double screwed.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

4.) Find an ally 👯‍♀️ Same idea as your "gym buddy," this is someone who will work with you to make the work more bearable. You will research, learn together, practice together, and protest together while holding each other accountable.

2.) Set up a day when you will call AND email those elected officials 🤳🏻 Stop signing petitions, they're not as effective.

3.) Read the agendas and minutes 📖 if you do not know how to find them, read or interpret them, reach out to your elected officials or local Democrat office for help.

This is what we need to do:

1.) Look up your elected officials 🔍 From the federal, state, down to the local (city council, water board, school board, etc). Follow them on social media, call them, write to them, ask to meet with them, and demand that they protect vulnerable communities.

Yet I'm appalled by the number of elected officials at the federal and state level, celebrities, and regular people who are giving up to this oppressive government w/o a fight! THIS IS NOT RIGHT!
