Then you’re gonna love this photo of Annie Jump Canon.
Working at Harvard in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s as a “Computer”, Annie Jump Cannon cataloged stars using their spectra from photographic plates, in an effort to understand the mysteries and peculiarities of stellar spectra.
This was hard, detailed, nuanced work. By 1889, three years into her work, she had classified over 1,000 stars. By 1913, she could classify 200 stars an hour. She could classify three stars a minute, just by sight. Using a magnifying glass, she could classify stars down to 9th magnitude, 16 times fainter than the human eye can see. And she did this all with exceptional accuracy.
Over the course of her career, she personally classified more than 350,000 stars, accounting for a mind-boggling 98% of all contemporary stellar spectra classifications, a feat that wouldn’t be bested until the 1990’s with automated digital sky surveys.
Cannon used these classifications to develop the Harvard spectral classification system (O–B–A–F–G–K–M), organizing stars by surface temperature and physical properties.
It is hard to overstate just how foundational her work was to modern astronomy and astrophysics. Her classifications have enabled more than a century of breakthroughs in stellar structure and evolution, including the understanding of how stars change over time and how temperature, luminosity, and composition are related. The system underpins the Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagram, one of the most important tools in astrophysics, and remains embedded in modern research, from stellar population studies to galaxy evolution.
The immense scale of her work was itself a massive contribution to astronomy. For comparison, before Cannon, star catalogs contained between 600 and 4,000 stars. Her work single-handedly proved that large-scale stellar classification was both feasible and scientifically valuable. She helped establish systematic star catalogs as a core method of modern astronomy and laid the groundwork for astrophysical research on stellar structure, evolution, and populations that continues today.
This is probably a little too much nuance, but whenever I see a "all borders are violence" post (a political position I generally agree with!) I always add a little asterisk that says "*but the border checks that keep you from bringing homegrown produce into big agricultural areas to avoid the transmission of parasites and invasive species are actually fine and if we were more vigilant about that kind of thing maybe we wouldn't have spotted lanternflies in the states."
Customs management (you do not want people importing a bunch of stuff that doesn't meet your country's safety standards, for example)
Things like that one lake in Europe where three national borders coincide and they built an island specifically so you can run between countries for fun

Really wish we'd, on the left, stop laughing and assuming this is ACTUALLY about strippers. I'd be willing to bet this ISN'T about some one with the actual job of stripper being somehow hired and sent to a school, that indeed DOESN'T happen - instead it will be used to target any female teacher who, like, wears a bikini on social media one time. She'll be called a "danger" to children and fired, as a cover for the fact that she's pro-queer or too far left or doesn't support ICE enough on that same social media. The bikini pic will just be the legal tool used to ruin her life
A friend helped me out by looking up the actual bill and YUP, it's to target queer people and sex education. NOT. STRIPPERS. STOP MAKING IT ABOUT THE FUCKING "STRIPPERS".
Anyone who thinks ladyshinga might be off track, here's the breakdown.
Actual bill name: Stop the Sexualization of Children Act.
Purported purpose: "to protect children from being exposed to explicit material in the classroom".
How it's sold in the press: "Ban strippers and porn from classrooms!"
Actual text of the bill: Expands the meaning of "sexually explicit content" to include the words "or involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism".
Not and. Or. Meaning "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" is in and of itself enough to be classified as sexually explicit.
Actual result: Illegal to mention the existence of trans people or admit to being trans in a classroom under threat of being prosecuted as a child sex offender.
let me tell you about having unrestricted internet access as a teenager and becoming ‘tumblr famous’ and not mentioning it to your mom simply because it didn’t seem important until a stranger asks for a photo in public in front of your mom. like oh yeah sorry mom by the way i’m really big among other insane teenagers holding on by a thread.
my mom didn’t care but she started telling random adults i was “famous on the internet” and i never knew how to stand when she said that so i always struck a gay little pose
Sorry everyone, I'm really going crazy tonight because we finally got rid of our 16 years long fascist oppressors in a democratic way. This is huge. Hungary won, the EU won, the global far right lost. 🥳🥳🥳
While we the viewer have been cognitive to the fact that Robby is suicidal since Season 1, I firmly believe that it's not something Robby actually realizes about himself until Season 2--and much further into Season 2 than most people think because I don't think he walked in with a plan to die.
We see him in the start with his insistence that he'll be back before Donnie's daughter is sleeping through the night. How Baran is just there until he gets back. How as long as he's there, he's the boss and that it is HIS ED. The man that walked in was going on a three-month sabbatical and then coming back... better.
However, we also see the change. We see the return of the way Robby's increasing stress leads him to a dark places and how that "I will be back" turns into "If I come back". But it's not until episode 10 does Robby, himself, seem to realize what it is he wants and how much that scares him.
And it's all down to Micah's mom, Brenda.
There's something about this moment between this mother and child. She is not his mom, but she's like her. With her own kid lying helpless and hurting, she's willing to walk away forever, abandoning him without her son ever understanding why. Much like how Robby isn't her son, but he's still just a boy who wants to ride his bike rather than help despite what it leads to.
Because this is a conversation between a regretful mother and a hurt child.
"I tried to get him to help me in the garden," is the first thing she says at the start of the scene. And from the outset, she's not looking at Baran. In fact, she doesn't at all from what we can tell until much later.
Instead, she shifts from staring into the middle distance as if she can see the moment playing out in front of her to Robby. Not at the woman she's had by her side and who stopped her from her choice, but this man standing in the corner like a scared boy.
His hands are shoved into his pockets. His shoulders are a little raised at the outset because you can see the fall slightly. And even out of focus, you see him take her saying, "But he just wanted to ride his trike ," so much different than Baran. She's empathetic, but there's something to Robby's face that just makes him seem more like a frightened kid than a middle aged doctor.
It's only when Brenda says, "So I let him," does she finally look at Baran. She's telling a doctor that she let her son ride his bike just out of her sight. But then she's back to looking at Robby before the sentence is even fully out because she's not letting this child out of her sights again.
"Every time I looked over, he was just--"
"Riding around."
When she says that, you see the moment Robby seems to realize something. It exists in the pause between 'just' and 'riding', that little eyebrow twitch. The way the anticipation solidifies into something dark and unpleasant in his mind before the camera cuts back to her. His face darkens in this visible way from his yearning to hear her out that's hard to put into words. But I don't think it's about her, exactly. Rather, it feels like the he's starting to realize he's as much her as he is that scared child.
In either case, it leads into Brenda looking away from Robby as if she, too, saw that look and lost her son all over again. Because she stops trying to find an answer or salvation in this man.
Instead her gaze drifts lower, not looking at anything. Not even a memory. Just this absence of even a hint of her son as she says, "And then he wasn't."
And others have already talked about the fact that you hear Baran ask "Have you ever thought about hurting yourself?" when the camera is focused on Robby, but look at him. Look at the way he looks away as he considers the question and comes to an answer that I don't think Robby has before.
Not because he hasn't had those thoughts. We watched season one. We know he has. But this isn't something Robby has ever had to question before because the person who catches him feels this way too. It's normalized in his friendship with Jack to the point of being a joke. Never mind how he he explains away his own issues as unimportant, especially in a place where he feels that his life isn't allowed to get to him.
But in that room, being questioned by proxy, he has to admit these things to himself for once. Because he gets it. Robby understands Brenda's thought process because a child's death is the worst thing to go through and we see that in Season 1 because Robby is there for so many of them in that one day. He knows how the pain of loss can push a person to making reckless choices because he nearly did after Leah and Jake and Adamson's Anniversary. He's been to the breaking point before.
It's just that his resolve isn't changed. It's given a name that scares him since Robby doesn't want to die. He just can't live with himself any more than Brenda feels she can live with herself for not protecting her son. Only difference is, sine the questioning is by proxy, Robby still gets to walk out of that room.
I wish I could go to a doctor and just list every single symptom I ever experienced no matter how small and unconnected they seem and the doctor is nice and patient and knows everything and they nod and smile and explain that every symptom I ever experienced is connected to like one rare and often overlooked issue that's sooooo easy to fix with like. a pill. and then I never have to worry about anything ever again.

Everywhere I go I'm reminded how much the desire to punish homelessness and migration and other Undesirablenesses make society markedly worse for everyone
like why is the park locked after 5pm so I can't go and sit under a tree after work? to punish rough sleepers for the terrible crime of being homeless and alive
why do I have to buy a drink, beg for a code and fuck around with an awkward keypad for 5 minutes in order to take a piss? because fuck homeless people
why do I need to provide proof of address and photo ID to do everything? because we had to create a really hostile environment for migrants
why can't you sit anywhere? well because god forbid people sleep when they're pushed out of shelter. can't risk that.
every day governments, councils and businesses make your life worse as a side effect of making vulnerable people's lives WAY worse. if you're ok with that you're a fucking idiot and if you're in favour of it you're a vindictive cunt cause again literally the ONLY payoff for your life getting worse is other people's lives getting worser.

being very fat means that sometimes you will encounter a chair that is so spindly, so fragile, so delicate. sometimes you will encounter a chair that is made of matchsticks and dreams. and has a seat the size of an ipad. a chair that resembles a newly born deer taking its first shaky steps. being very fat means that sometimes a thin person will offer this chair to you as a seat and not even think about it. meanwhile you, the fat person, if you listen very closely and with an open heart, can actually hear the chair whimpering and coughing like a sick victorian child. a thin person will offer this chair to you, a very fat person, and you have to look at them. and then the chair. and then your hips. and back at them. and be like. let's be real. can we please be real for a second. can we please use our spatial awareness right now. like it's okay we are allowed to use our spatial awareness when it comes to my ass. it's all good.
so i have finished a psychological thriller novel, and have begun the process of doing research so i can prepare to query agents. now, my novel has some pretty intense triggers in it, so i am aware it’s a bit of a hard sell– that being said, many agents have a “do not send me your novel if it has these things” list, so that’s what I’m looking for so i don’t accidentally trigger someone.
so i’m going down this list, and i find this agent. their “do not send me” list includes the following: non-consent/sexual violence, age gaps, teacher/student relationships, stalkers, cheating, everyone dies at the end, miscarriage/pregnancy, and abuse masked as love.
okay, cool! everyone has different tolerances for stuff, and it’s perfectly reasonable to not want to be involved with a story that has stuff you’re uncomfortable with. not the agent for me, but good on them for defining their boundaries.
but then i scroll back up and they’re requesting for gothic horror.
excuse me?????????
gothic horror without pregnancy or miscarriage? gothic horror without cheating? without stalking? gothic horror without major character deaths? GOTHIC HORROR WITHOUT ABUSE BEING FRAMED AS LOVE AND THE INTERROGATION OF THAT DYNAMIC?????
HEY CAN I GET A GOTHIC HORROR WITH NOTHING???
THAT’S JUST A STORY ABOUT A BIG HOUSE
