Just finished the second in the Tyrant Philosophers series. Utterly banging book! @aptshadow.bsky.social at his fantastical best. I really enjoyed the first one but this is superb and the brilliantly threaded comedy and satirical observations reminded me of Pratchett at his best.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
