USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

Is it true that Disneyfied Grimm’s Fairy Tales are highly sanitized? Were the originals really aimed at Children? Find the answers to these questions when #ThrowbackThursday visits /u/erissays! My, what a big post they have!
erissays's comment on "I've heard the Disneyified versions of Grimm's Tales Americans are familiar with are highly sanitized (RRHood and Grandma are eaten by the wolf,Snow White is about necrophilia,it's Cinderella's family, not steps- tormenting her, that kind of thing).Is this true? Were children the target audience?"

Tonight's the night to visualize "the ecliptic"= the sun's path through the sky. The planets follow it & tonight 5 planets mark the route. About 3 hours after sunset you can see Venus, bright & low in the west, Saturn below the moon & above Venus, Jupiter straight overhead & Mars low in the east 🧪
