oh to be a crow, flying around, stealing shinies and screaming at the top of my lungs with no remorse.

Do you have any fun facts/info about the andromeda galaxy?
Superimposing picture showing sizes of the Moon and the Andromeda Galaxy as observed from Earth. Because the galaxy is not very bright, its size is not evident. :)
The first time i felt even remotely free was when I gave up on being pretty

Boo! Did we get you? 🎃
This solar jack-o-lantern, captured by our Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) in October 2014, gets its ghoulish grin from active regions on the Sun, which emit more light and energy than the surrounding dark areas. Active regions are markers of an intense and complex set of magnetic fields hovering in the sun’s atmosphere.
The SDO has kept an unblinking eye on the Sun since 2010, recording phenomena like solar flares and coronal loops. It measures the Sun’s interior, atmosphere, magnetic field, and energy output, helping us understand our nearest star.

one of the reasons francis abernathy is my faovrite character in the secret history is that one of the first things he does to richard is ask him, in latin, if he wants to go to bed with him. because he doesn’t just say it in latin; what he says is cubitum eamus? cubitum is a latin construction called the supine of purpose, used only alongside verbs of motion, and a construction that is not wholly common (it occurs regularly enough in early latin, not much in cicero and caesar, who are generally the standard for undergraduate latin prose comp students, and hardly at all in later latin). using phi’s latin lookup, i found 47 instances of the word cubitum, only 4 of them occuring in cicero; a decent chunk of those usages are the more common later latin meaning of “elbow” rather than the supine of “to recline” or “to sleep.” so francis doesn’t just ask richard if he wants to go to bed in latin, he asks richard if he wants to go to bed in latin using a less common purpose construction that only appears with certain verbs.
god bless francis abernathy
I realized that if I wanted a different experience, I needed to choose differently.
For starters, I had to stop returning to the same environment or energy that presented me with the same experiences.
