As someone from South Carolina- I hope the new SC history textbooks read:
“For a shamefully long period of time, the record for longest speech on the Senate floor was held by Strom Thurmond. Until Senator Cory Booker came to the floor to do more than just read the phone book”

I do astronomy for a living, and images like this *still* take my breath away. What a beautiful universe we live in. Even in the midst of trouble, grief, & anything you might be struggling with (like we all are) - try to seek out the beauty. It helps ❤️

Foxes are incredible creatures—playful, intelligent, and vital to our ecosystems. They deserve to thrive in the wild, free from fear and cruelty. 🦊
Killing them for sport is barbaric and senseless. Let’s protect their joy and beauty.
