The only power we have in capitalism is buying something or NOT buying something and we throw that away because we're lazy and unwilling to not get exactly what we want. We're so used to have all our wishes fulfilled that it seems unheard of to not buy the thing from the asshole, because we WANT that thing. So yeah, xyz is an asshole, but I still support xyz by buying the thing because existing without it means I didn't get my wish. And that is so damn inconvenient.

I think I'm getting depressed.

Welcome to the Far Side of the Moon

A crescent Earth sets behind the Moon.

On April 6, 2026, the Artemis II astronauts flew around the Moon, observing the far side – which we never see on Earth thanks to tidal locking – with their own eyes and with cameras.

See more of the Moon:

Earth setting behind the Moon as seen by the Artemis II crew. Over half the left side of the image is filled by the gray lunar surface, pocked with craters.

A close view of the Moon. Jagged circles of craters dot the gray surface, fading to dark on the left side of the image.

A close-up view of the Moon, filling most of the frame. Along the left side of the image, the terminator divides the illuminated and darkened sides of the Moon.

Earth just as it set behind the Moon, as seen by the Artemis II crew. The dark gray surface of the Moon, pocked with craters, arcs from the bottom left corner of the image to the top right.

Check out more photos from the lunar flyby, including astronaut selfies and the solar eclipse only they experienced.

last song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nco_kh8xJDs

last series: "Heated Rivalry" which made me realize you don't have to be a gay man to be a gay man which was one of the biggest revelations in regards to my own sexuality I ever had ngl

last film: "Pillion" which I saw in cinema with 2 (!) other people and which was okay, but not as good as I'd hoped

favourite colour: In regards to clothes, always black, in regards to my cat Morgana, always Calico

currently watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xM9rJQbU1M&t=1721s

currently reading: "Words of Radiance" by Brandon Sanderson (see also what I'm currently watching) which is the first fantasy novel (or rather series) in ages which I truly adore

current obsessions: Trying to learn Quechua without a teacher and Astrophysics (both in regards to what I'm currently working on (see below))

currently working on: My own Fantasy novel, because why the hell not. Already have a pretty good grasp of the world I wanna create and some ideas for the characters and the plot. Feels awesome to take notes and see how pieces fall neatly into place like my mind actually knows the path already and I just have to walk it.

last google search: Quechua word for 'swamp' (which is Uqhu for those of you wondering ;))

sweet or salty: Mostly sweet, but who can say no to a pickled cucumber at midnight

coffee or tea: Coffee and tea I guessed since I prefer a homemade Dirty Chai at the moment
