Someone said “Nothing gives you a clearer look into someone than how they misinterpret things, every misinterpretation is a confession” and it’s so true because how people misunderstand things can reveal a lot about their perspectives and feelings.

Take note— NOW is the time to look into these amazing resources and make what you can available to yourself OFFLINE. I’ve been downloading as many important books as I can from project Gutenberg, and I’ve downloaded ALL of Wikipedia offline (yes, you can do that!!) through Kiwix. I’ve also been using Kiwix’s other wiki libraries to download essential databases and pdfs such as info on emergency medicine, govt info on medications and disaster preparedness that was archived before the new administration, and anything else that is critical to know and have available outside of the internet. Information IS power— don’t let anyone censor crucial info you have a right to know!!

I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.
