I firmly believe that how feminist a book is is better demonstrated by its background characters rather than its mains

The Hubble telescope has captured an image of an unusual edge-on galaxy, revealing remarkable details of its warped dusty disk and showing how colliding galaxies spawn the formation of new generations of stars. The dust and spiral arms of normal spiral galaxies, like our own Milky Way, appear flat when viewed edge-on. This Hubble Heritage image of ESO 510-G13 shows a galaxy that, by contrast, has an unusual twisted disk structure, first seen in ground-based photographs.

made a tiny picture book for class. i wanted to challenge the idea that girls loving other girls is somehow adult/inappropriate

You don’t have to love your body. You don’t even have to like it. But you have to find ways to live with it, as well as you can, and be kind to it whenever possible.

Your body is not the outward expression of your soul. It is not a reflection or a representation of your worth or your True Self. It’s just inhabited meat. It’s a flesh machine with planned obsolescence, and you have to take care of it.

It’s good to love your body, if you can. It will enhance your timed experience of the world if you can appreciate it without too much resentment for the ways it fails or disappoints you. But if you cannot love it, strive at least for neutrality. Make truces with it, however uneasy, and treat it with the respect you would show to any other animal shape.

Alpha Scuti

The brightest star in the small southern constellation of Scutum, and just under 200 light years from Earth. 

The star sits in front of the main body of the Milky Way’s central region, giving it a spectacular star field behind. Many of the background stars lie between 2-10,000 light years behind it, with a few over 17,000 light years. It’s important to remember, we can only see the very brightest of the stars in the milky way, a star like our Sun is only visible by the naked eye not far beyond 32 light years, so stars 1000′s of light years away are incredibly luminous, but also maybe only a tiny % of the actual stars that lie there.

Alpha Scuti was once a star not too dissimilar to our own sun, but has since began the process of falling out of the main sequence and becoming a red giant. Although only 1.3 times the mass of our sun, it has now bloated to 20 times our sun’s radius and 186 times brighter than the sun.

@forgetfulhippocampus and I had a photo shoot. Here’s some highlights.

Absolutely in LOVE with these pictures and this woman.
