Just got done protesting at the No Kings protest. It was a lot of fun. I get bombarded with threats and hate online from far right republicans it makes me feel alone.

But today I saw thousands of like-minded individuals right down the street from home.

It was refreshing, totally peaceful, and it reminded me of the Furry episode of ATHF.

Grand fun!

Tomorrow will be a good day for sure

And it will only get better.

big changes in the future

And i'm terrified something horribly wrong is going to happen before I reach the next chapter of my life I'm so close to. But the fact remains the same, I've been excelling in every area of my life. The chances of something going wrong are minimal. I'm trying to replace worry thoughts with thoughts of me happy in my new era.

I just have to make it a little bit longer. I'm taking it minute-by-minute. Some minutes I'm less stressed but others I just fear the trump administration is going to come after me. But again, I am doing so much good for people everywhere.

Well, in 9 days I'm going to be donating blood. That'll make me feel good.

I just wish I could get some kind of sign that everything is going to be okay.

I don't believe her excuse and I don't think there's a coincidence.

Stellar Nesting Grounds

This image captures the Tarantula Nebula in all of its cosmic glory. Astronomers study nebulae like this one to learn about how elements form and disperse throughout the galaxy, seeding space with planetary building blocks.

Clouds of dust and gas called nebulae speckle our galaxy. Some are ferocious cosmic factories that churn out baby stars by the hundreds of thousands, while others are grave markers of stars long dead. Astronomers study them to learn about how stars and planets form, and how ingredients are recycled in space.

But all that dust is difficult to see through, and nebulae are often so large that today’s most powerful space telescopes can only realistically study tiny patches of them. That’s where our soon-to-launch Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope comes in.

This video of the Eagle Nebula showcases Roman’s superb resolution and wide field of view. It begins with a Hubble image of the famous Pillars of Creation superimposed on a ground-based image. The view then zooms out to show the full field of view of Roman’s Wide Field Instrument. Roman’s images will have the resolution of Hubble while covering an area about 100 times larger in a single pointing.

Roman will pair a large view of space with infrared heat vision. That combination is a game-changer for studying nebulae.

Here’s how it usually works. Ground-based telescopes take large but somewhat blurry images of a nebula. Then space-based observatories like our Hubble and James Webb space telescopes zoom in on small patches to show us the details of particularly interesting regions. But with Roman, we’ll get the big picture and incredible detail all in one.

That saves astronomers a lot of time, which opens up new avenues of exploration. For example, instead of spending several months stitching together hundreds of individual images of the Orion nebula with Hubble or Webb, Roman could cover it in a matter of hours in just a few snapshots.

Roman’s vast surveys will give us a census of stellar nurseries, where fledgling stars are being born from parent clouds of gas and dust. Studying these nebular nesting grounds will reveal millions of stellar embryos, newborn stars still swaddled in shrouds of dust, toddler stars that throw tantrums and flare unpredictably, and young stars that may have planetary systems forming around them.

A single Roman survey of our Milky Way galaxy will capture thousands of nebulae, unveiling planet formation and the full lifecycle of stars like never before. That includes their spectacular final acts.

This Hubble image showcases the Hourglass nebula, a young planetary nebula located about 8,000 light-years away.

Garden-variety stars like the Sun live fairly placid lives, casually churning out heat and light for billions of years by fusing hydrogen into helium. That nuclear process creates a lot of energy and outward pressure. For a long time, it’s held in check by the inward pull of gravity. But when a star runs out of fuel to fuse, gravity takes over.

Their cores shrink so fast that their outer shells of gas are left behind, which puff out and transform into unique and often psychedelic works of art called planetary nebulae (so-called because they looked similar to planets in early telescopes). Heftier stars meet more dramatic fates, with a runaway reaction that leads to the star’s detonation: a supernova explosion! Both result in nebulae that look like kaleidoscopic dreamscapes.

This image of supernova remnant W49B combines X-rays from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory in blue and green, radio data from the NSF’s Very Large Array in pink, and infrared data from Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in yellow.

Star deaths create conditions so extreme that it can form new elements. The iron, oxygen, magnesium, silicon, sulfur, and nickel that together account for around 96% of the Earth's bulk were flung into space by supernova explosions. And some of the elements that make up your DNA, like carbon and nitrogen, were forged by smaller dying stars. You are literally made of stardust!

Roman will help us learn more about how elements were created and distributed throughout the galaxy, all while exploring many other cosmic questions.

This artist’s concept visualizes visible light in blue, showing how its short wavelength means it will easily run into dust particles. Longer wavelength infrared light, visualized in orange, can more easily pass through dust.

Roman’s infrared vision is key, because it will allow astronomers to see through the dust that often blocks telescopes that view other types of light. It’s hard for visible light to penetrate this dusty haze because the particles are the same size or even larger than the light’s wavelength. Since infrared light travels in longer waves, it hardly notices the tiny particles and can pass more easily through dusty regions.

By seeing through dust, we'll get a far better view of stars and other objects that are in nebulae and the cosmic structures that lie behind them. Astronomers will soon be able to chart our galaxy like never before!

We’re only about a month out from launch, and so close to a completely new understanding of the universe and our place within it. Follow along with Roman’s road to launch at nasa.gov/roman, and virtually tour the Roman observatory here.

All I'm praying for now really is my freedom and safety

That's about it. I'm about to do something that will make a lot of people happy but as I get closer to that date I fear that someone is going to try to ruin my safety. I'm terrified of getting swatted again, I worry about it every single day. I'm terrified someone is going to try and gun me down again. I'm terrified my mailbox is going to disappear again. I'm terrified no one cares about my freedom or safety.

But I'm doing really, really, really good with myself lately. I'm writing impressive programs, I basically gave my youngest sister over $5k in Pokemon cards, I'm in the top 10% of students, I'm a certified computer scientist now.

I just hope whoever is in charge of my happiness and safety see's all these wonderful moves I've made and allows to me to continue to grow. I have big plans to help a lot of people in a major way and I'm taking a step towards it nearly every day.

I still find it hard to believe Heidi D'amelio is in my DM's.

I know for a fact if I told the state I was talking to celebrities they'd say I was experiencing a paranoid schizophrenic like state-of-mind but my instagram feed says otherwise when Heidi is going back and forth with me on what is clearly her official account.

I'm getting so fucking big I dont get it

The other day I was exercising my routine. I don't do a lot. About 20-30 reps each set for each 10 exercises I do. Each 10 exercises targets all the muscle groups in my body. So I train each set to failure. Then I usually walk like 10 miles.

The other day after my work out, I was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt looking in the mirror to notice my pecs were bulging more than ever and looked huge.

Lately after hammer curling 65lbs, my biceps also appear larger. But when I measured my biceps earlier this year, they were 2 inches smaller than when I didn't do any resistance training and weighed about 30lbs less.

Back then I trained with martial arts every day. I'd do 5 different kicks 10 times then finish up with one handed push ups and 30 minutes of crunches. My biceps were bigger when this was my only routine.

Then I got into a gym because I finally had SSI and could afford a gym membership and my biceps shrunk! But here's whats wild: I can lift significantly more in every machine at the gym than when I first started.

So why were my muscles bigger when I was pushing less weight at a lower body weight?

A doctor once said to me: "Robin, your body is an anomaly."

I woke up to a very threatening message

I shouldn't talk about it much but I would like to express that I am genuinely terrified right now that something is going to go terribly wrong very soon.

I've done nothing I shouldn't be doing. I've been studying arduously and i've barely even stepped outside my own neighborhood. But the message is highly disturbing and i am very disturbed right now. I just pray that nothing bad happens to me because I dont deserve it.

I can't celebrate Freedom when I know there's hundreds of thousands of latina's that aren't free to be baddies right now

I just want to say that when I read the news, I do not feel like the government is trying to protect or help me.

Every article is terrifying to witness on the news and it just gets progressively scarier and scarier.
