Yeah i was called a f*g, and like, my dude, first- you need a hug. Second, pretty sure that refers to gay men and im a straight lady, so swing and a miss trying to be hateful for no reason. Twitter is getting bitter they have no one to belittle other than themselves over there.
Yet that makes the isolation worse. Pull back to a view of even just our local galactic cluster and how insignificant we are gets much worse. So no my titties aren't calmed 😉
So, so many people running to the comments to tell me that the meme hasn't accomplished the impossible task of being a real picture of the actual milky way. Lol, thanks my dudes. I thought it was so obvious I didn't put a disclaimer in the main post. Should have.
Next time, you should take a picture of, like, a festering trash bag with rats just going to town. And say "here, I took a picture of part of the milky way for you."
Voyager, the furthest man made object from the sun, left for interstellar space 5 years ago.
At its current pace, it'll leave the milky way in 450 million years.
To snap a shot like this, quadruple that time
yeah i mean this is andromeda. we can't take a picture of the milky way for obvious reasons and so this humorous internet meme is using a stand-in to illustrate a point.
I thought maybe you were talking about crying in the shower while away on vacation.

Pictures and videos about how small and insignificant we are somehow makes me just more calm. Nothing I strive after at life have any significance. I have no need of leaving a footprint in this world. The only thing I need to actually care about are the few things that makes me happy.
One of the real estate clerks of 25 years quit, realizing she cried every Sunday in anticipation of Monday. After a while, she arranged a 3-day workweek at the firm with lesser (bookkeeping) responsibilities and now enjoys her work-life balance, and still a firm asset.
No, a ton of yall are hopping on here to tell me it's Andromeda and like, I know guys. Relax. It's a stand in since we can't actually photograph the milky way.
Not necessarily. I mean, once you’re done with your shower over in the Andromeda galaxy, you could pop over to the nearest space telescope and get some neat photos of the Milky Way! 😛
Perhaps there is more wrong with me than i realise but that perspective has always been very comforting to me. I know that no matter how much I f@ck up in life, on a universal level it doesn't matter a shit.
The fact that you “are” is the equalizing factor. And, that you’re capable of perspective and some comprehension at this moment in a unimaginably vast universe.
The thing is, my own existence and the problems flooding my brain at 3:00 in the morning is the only one I will ever know. None of us will travel to interstellar space, but we do all have to pay for food and shelter every month.
Oh yes. I have lots of anxiety about everything and when I look at this meme it all just feels so absurd, life in general is just so absurd. We could have better lives, but we (society) choose a 40 hour work week instead.
I sit on a galaxy’s edge, wondering if I should fly to its heart. Then remember that the heart in question is hungry and indiscriminate. I guess I’ll stay here on the edge, gazing at the wonder all around.
Nope, we don't. This here is a meme, not known for their scientific accuracies, and since we can't photograph the milky way it used our neighbor galaxy to express a humorous visualization.
Sorry, that was an assumption. I feel your pain and have avoided most people and, even my exercise classes. Still in a funk. I’m glad you love your job … best job is the one you love.
You need Han Solo Millennium Falcon hyper speed space ship to travel light speed to get to work on time but its fantasy. In America you can get meth but that only makes you feel like you can get to work on time. 2 out of 3 solutions=-. What about a $ value were 1 person provided 4 a family=History
I think you misunderstood me, or more likely, I communicated poorly. I didn't mean for this to be offensive. I have an anxiety disorder also (plus ADHD, ASD and bunch of other stuff).
So I apologise for coming across like a dick. I hope you won't hold it against me.
Ok but does that mean I shouldn’t cry abt it because I’m basically nothing OR that I should just say f*** that who cares about work when the literal UnIveRsE exists that’s fkn egocentric
I live in the Rockies, just below the Continental Divide. Whenever things are not great, I just look up and remember that I am here for a blink of an eye. It’s very comforting and centering.
I used to agree with those memes but in all seriousness, the size of our galaxy/universe has zero relevance on our lives. It's ok to be affected by our immediate environment because, that is the thing that profoundly influences our lives and we're not traveling across the Milky Way anytime soon
Actually I have Earth Rise on my phone and on my office wall- shockingly, when I start to get stressed/anxious about the shitshow we’re living in, just seeing earth makes everything seem smaller.
We panic over what we imagine. What we're panicking over doesn't even exist. I wish I'd known this philosophy back when I worked for Lucent Technologies. My boss was pure evil.
The only time I've ever had to escape to the shower for a total meltdown was after my ostomy surgery.
I have a new respect for what I do and do not eat. And I really now have a legit excuse for avoiding the excessive consumption over the holidays, so get over yourselves "family".

A flat Earth has two sides!
If it were, cats would have knocked everything off of the edge by now!
God: mmm, not long. Eternity. Give or take.
Humanity: ew, David
😌
How did you get back?
Can anyone else do this?
Inquiring minds...
:(
Love this.
Wish you had included alt text so I could share it.

..but who is crying in the shower before work? Seriously, that shit needs fixing!
You need to talk?
Now, go out there and project your own flaws and shortcomings onto other people!
This is the path to a happy and worthwhile life.
Oh, if you can stab a few friends in the back, you will feel much better
So I apologise for coming across like a dick. I hope you won't hold it against me.
Following - else Nanny Ogg would sic Greebo on me 🙀😸
The things I here about the JADES-GS-z13 galaxy would make your toes curl !
I really do feel better now!
