This is an illustration of a futuristic rocket taking off from the surface of a moon or planet. The rocket is depicted as sleek and streamlined, with fins and the designation "N2" on its side. It is ascending into space, with a trail of exhaust beneath it. In the background, there are stars and a celestial body that resembles a planet or a moon. The setting has a classic science fiction aesthetic.

I remember when asset sales were gonna lead to mum and dad shareholders and now we just have mum and dad paying $500 power bills in the winter. The right wing ideology is a scam. It’s a pyramid scheme. It’s useless. It improves nothing.

I’m sorry, but nothing screams I SWEAR I AM NOT THE ANTICHRIST more than hearing about some billionaire AI-obsessed technofascist’s obsession with the Antichrist. A billionaire whose face is actively melting off before our eyes to expose the digital demon beneath, I might add!

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?
🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

This image depicts a colorful nebula in outer space. It features a mix of vibrant hues like purple, blue, and pink with bright stars scattered across the scene. The nebula's clouds and dust create a beautiful cosmic landscape.

The image shows a person on a runway wearing a striking, futuristic outfit. The outfit is shiny and metallic, with black and gold colors, and has a structured, dramatic design. The person is adorned with a large, intricate necklace and the overall look is very bold and glamorous, reminiscent of haute couture fashion shows.

Omg just got “one of those ads”!

A woman wears a loose-fitting, black oversized dress with elbow-length sleeves and a wide silhouette, styled with a long necklace featuring a large brown pendant. The dress has a minimalist, avant-garde aesthetic, showcased on a white background for a clean, high-fashion look.

I think I’m in a teensy bit of denial about the groundswell of transphobia in the anglophone at this time. Larping on #SpaceStation1 is my coping mechanism. I’m partially cross dressed all of the time these days. Sometimes it’s stealth crossdressing. Like a women’s shirt as if it was business casual

doctorwookie:from The Sexual Evolution: How 500 million years of sex, gender and mating shape modern relationships, by Nathan H Lents (2025)
via https://queenoliviastredfern.tumblr.com/post/796100513241399296

The image is a page of text discussing sexual orientation in animals. It explores the idea that early animals may have been drawn to engage in sex with any members of their species. The text mentions that same-sex sexual activity in animals may not require an explanation if animals generally retained a state of bi- or pan-sexuality. In contrast, heterosexuality might be what needs explaining. It also highlights that early animals might not have had different sexes at all.
