The #JWST has provided the most detailed view of the Phoenix Galaxy Cluster, revealing how it rapidly forms stars despite its central bh emitting powerful jets. The observations show that the jets don’t fully prevent the cooling of gas, allowing intense star formation. 1/ 👉 arxiv.org/pdf/2502.08619

Yep, it's bad, but we knew it was going to be bad. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised. Step back and take a deep breath and do what you can do. That might involve putting down your device and clearing your head. Don't get caught up in the online spiral of doom.

From the bottom of my heart, I believe that we can be better than this. (Low bar, I realize, but still.) We can embrace diversity. We foster equity. We can be inclusive. As a historian, I believe in change. And as low as I sometimes feel right now, I —WE—are not defeated.

This is Wesley. He wants to know if you will accept this rose. Because he grabbed it thinking it was a stick, and now doesn't want it anymore. 12/10

Found an odd double flower on my butterfly pea. Yes, they are just about this blindingly blue in person. And if you steep the flowers in hot water, the blue hue leeches out and can be added to teas, other drinks, syrups…and will change color to pink if acidified. #flowers #plantfur

Love poem as rewritten by a nerd who overthinks: Roses are Red Violets are not Blue, but Violet But Butterfly Pea Flowers are Blue That then turn Violet when you add an acid to the tea it makes & i would share that shit with u. & hold the sugar, bcuz holy shit have u seen these prices lately?

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about the big spectacle. Whether you're with someone or with your own good self, stay true to the story you want, unfolding in its own time.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t just have to be about romantic love. You can tell someone…anyone that you love them. It could be your mum. Or your dog. Or your grandfather. Or your dog. Or your child. Or your dog. Or your best friend. Or your dog. It’s my dog. It’s definitely my dog. I love my dog.

I don't think anyone is demanding that every person needs stacks of film, VHS, DVDs and Blurays but the fact is, owning physical media is the only way to guarantee access to what you wish to see in the future. We are seeing streaming getting yanked on a whim and it's only going to get worse.

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

We must recognize MAGA as an actual cult. For people to consider leaving a cult, they must see others leave. LeavingMAGA.org has tools, resources, & support for those questioning their beliefs. Weaken the GOP’s cult. Share it. Spread it. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory leavingmaga.org
