The entire observable universe in one image.

Artist's impression, we think. Not to any obvious scale.

Art print by Pablo Carlos Budassi fineartamerica.com/featured/obs...

A circular diagram representing the observable universe, with Earth at the center. The diagram depicts various celestial objects and structures arranged concentrically, including planets, stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters, and superclusters. Labels are visible throughout the diagram, identifying specific objects and features. The outermost edge of the circle is labeled "furthest visible galaxies" and "big bang," signifying the limit of the observable universe.

The dichotomy of dragon; come for the size, stay (hopefully) for the spiritual musings.

To reframe want, for it to not be pining for what you don’t have or wishing that things were other than they are. It’s a clear eyed view to treat want as a direction to focus your effort. To guide you, not to shame you or instill fear in you.

It doesn’t stop them from knowing or wanting to change and work on things, or to not notice the problems going on; it isn’t some kind of ignorant bliss. It’s just that they have to make change in the moment, because the moment is all that we have.

It’s also just from some of the people who’ve informed my view of Buddhism have been some of the more happy, joyful people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. And talking to them, it’s not that everything is perfect and going perfectly for them, it’s that whatever is happening right now, is perfect.

Okay. I have Thoughts about this part of Buddhism.

“Freedom from desire and attachment” is, in my view, more the freedom from fear of losing things. It isn’t a stoic “you will not like or enjoy or appreciate anything”. It’s freedom from wanting and not having, having and fear of losing.

It’s understanding that things are transient and everything ends. And that’s okay. It frees you to enjoy things as they are and not as they might or could be. It frees you to do now what you might otherwise put off because it might not happen again.

Michigan friends, Michigan citizens, please fight this. For yourselves, and so it doesn't become a model for the rest of the states.

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 1d

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

A very busty draft mare, leaning on and over a seated artist requesting 'Bigger' from them. A tongue in cheek reference to the RL artist Gideon who must've been getting this requested a LOT with the art he was doodling at the time.
