Think about who your managers and them are right now. Literally a gang of Karen's doing their mean girl shit with your check.
Telling conservatives that banning trans healthcare for young people and forcing teachers to out trans kids to their parents will only result in more dead trans kids is useless. They'd rather a kid be dead than trans. Simple as that.
Telling conservatives that banning abortion and contraceptives will lead to more dead pregnant people and a lot of unwanted orphans in an already clogged adoption system is useless. They'd rather pregnancy or even death be a punishment for having sex in any way they don't like. Simple as that.
Telling conservatives that no police officer has the right to act as judge, jury, and executioner and kill a living, breathing human being for any reason, but especially for something as simple as petty theft, without even a slap on the wrist is useless. They believe property, punishment, and control over others is more important than a person's life, especially if that person isn't white, they see people as lesser than themselves. Simple as that.
We have different sets of morals. You aren't changing their minds, it's a waste of time trying to meet them halfway because there is no halfway between different sets of morals. Simple. As. That.

Our Weird and Wonderful Galaxy of Black Holes
Black holes are hard to find. Like, really hard to find. They are objects with such strong gravity that light can’t escape them, so we have to rely on clues from their surroundings to find them.
When a star weighing more than 20 times the Sun runs out of fuel, it collapses into a black hole. Scientists estimate that there are tens of millions of these black holes dotted around the Milky Way, but so far we’ve only identified a few dozen. Most of those are found with a star, each circling around the other. Another name for this kind of pair is a binary system.That’s because under the right circumstances material from the star can interact with the black hole, revealing its presence.
The visualization above shows several of these binary systems found in our Milky Way and its neighboring galaxy. with their relative sizes and orbits to scale. The video even shows each system tilted the way we see it here from our vantage point on Earth. Of course, as our scientists gather more data about these black holes, our understanding of them may change.
If the star and black hole orbit close enough, the black hole can pull material off of its stellar companion! As the material swirls toward the black hole, it forms a flat ring called an accretion disk. The disk gets very hot and can flare, causing bright bursts of light.
V404 Cygni, depicted above, is a binary system where a star slightly smaller than the Sun orbits a black hole 10 times its mass in just 6.5 days. The black hole distorts the shape of the star and pulls material from its surface. In 2015, V404 Cygni came out of a 25-year slumber, erupting in X-rays that were initially detected by our Swift satellite. In fact, V404 Cygni erupts every couple of decades, perhaps driven by a build-up of material in the outer parts of the accretion disk that eventually rush in.
In other cases, the black hole’s companion is a giant star with a strong stellar wind. This is like our Sun’s solar wind, but even more powerful. As material rushes out from the companion star, some of it is captured by the black hole’s gravity, forming an accretion disk.
A famous example of a black hole powered by the wind of its companion is Cygnus X-1. In fact, it was the first object to be widely accepted as a black hole! Recent observations estimate that the black hole’s mass could be as much as 20 times that of our Sun. And its stellar companion is no slouch, either. It weighs in at about 40 times the Sun.
We know our galaxy is peppered with black holes of many sizes with an array of stellar partners, but we've only found a small fraction of them so far. Scientists will keep studying the skies to add to our black hole menagerie.

This is one of those quotes that’s like “oh who said that? Thomas Hobbes? Shakespeare?” and no it’s Evil 90s Will Riker from Gargoyles
I hope cuh tore they ass up he was chillin smh
This is a long post but this is important especially if you live somewhere where fireworks have been going off every night all of a sudden for weeks now.
if you been following this blog of mine for a while you know i’m NOT into conspiracy theories BUT this shit is fucking fishy as hell. this is NOT fucking normal and i truly believe this is a part of how police fight back against calls to defund and/or disband them. i’ve said for a while now (mostly on twitter) that ppl who want to abolish the police (i am one of them) need to get ready for war cause cops will fight us to the point of killing us to maintain their power. i absolutely believe they are believe this sudden and constant stream of fireworks happening across the country targeted in areas where there were massive marches calling to defund the police. this would be very easy to coordinate given all the communication tools we have today (whatapp, fb messenger, ig direct message, skype and etc) and like the last tweeter stated, given all the crap we know the police be involved in, giving away fireworks ain’t shit BUT if raises the number of complaints they don’t respond to, they can use that to make themselves look good. i mean check it…
that’s a hell of a fucking jump (for all the ppl who want to claim this is normal (stfu)) and they are not responding to those calls. why? they are behind it and then they can use this to say “see, y’all need us. don’t defund us.”
i won’t repeat what’s already in the tweets but yea, i am 100% this is warfare by the police against calls to hold them accountable and to defund them BUT we can’t back down. the mere fact they are doing this proves they are scared and we are right.
fuck the police!

“A masterpiece was created in the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone today” video by Kyle Kotajarvi
This wasn’t a government stunt to try and avoid doing something meaningful, but a coming together of community artists who did it for free. Which is why it’s the best.
this video has disrupted my every waking thought for the past three days
