May is Stroke Awareness month in the US. My mom died last April 25 from stroke(s), and she was only 66. Know the signs; they are sneaky and nebulous. Strokes are VERY common and it is scary. https://fb.watch/cXwMUigC79/

The Event Horizon Telescope Project has an announcement about the center of our galaxy. No idea what but this is the team that gave us the first image of a Black Hole.

I didn't think they could get image lof our black hole, Sag A*, because dust. But there are other things they may have imaged. #space

With the flood of new arrivals, some trolls are going to try to sneak in. They may post awful content or claim deeply offensive usernames.

If you see this, please block and report. Don’t engage because that just lets them know their efforts to disrupt and harm are working. Don’t amplify their vileness. They WANT the attention—maybe to brag on other sites.

Starve them of oxygen and fuel. Report and ignore.

They will be splatted FOR SURE.

There is NO place for that hate here.
