R.I.P.

Can I be deadly serious for 1 minute?
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.

We don't have to know each other to be in all of this together. 💚

Little Tuesday morning gratitude post. ❤️

#CoSo, thanks to everyone who boosts the Good, who stays present with the Hard, who names the Bad but also thinks constructively about Next Steps, and who offers up Kindness so readily to those currently struggling -- even if it's still a struggle to enact that same kindness with oneself.

May all our disparate journeys converge upon a better end. 🕊️

Today's recommended aid organization: World Central Kitchen, which not only provides hot meals in crisis zones (including #Ukraine) but also empowers local food providers, combats climate crisis issues, & is often more hands-on than the usual NGOs.

(Wherever you help, however you can, you're keeping the fires lit in a cold, cold world. Thank you.)

For those worried about tracking menstruation, etc. now… You might want to look into a European tracker, bc of EU privacy laws.

This may surprise some folks, but it's important to emphasize that people with different political views are welcome here.

Asshats are not. Misinformation is not.

But it is possible to have a different take on politics and also not be an asshat.

Being a conservative does not automatically make someone a troll.

🙏

My feed is so surreal these days. Right behind huge breakthroughs in space engineering and science discoveries *yay*, I have posts warning women not to use menstruation trackers or GPS so we can evade US authorities' tracking our movements and pregnancy statuses. Because otherwise, we are in danger for our very lives because death penalty.

WTAF?

I'd ask how we got to this bizarre state of affairs, but we all know exactly how we got here. The real question is, how do we fix it?
