June 28, 2023 - In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists utilizing the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have successfully captured images of starlight from two massive galaxies hosting actively growing black holes, known as quasars. These images reveal the earliest epoch to date in which light from stars has been detected around a quasar, less than a billion years after the Big Bang. The findings shed light on the formation of black holes and their relationship with host galaxies in the early universe.
The Study and Findings:
Led by researchers from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe and the Peking University Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, the study utilized a combination of ground-based observations from the Subaru Telescope and space-based observations from the JWST. The team focused on two quasars, HSC J2236+0032 and HSC J2255+0251, which were discovered through Subaru Telescope's deep survey program. These quasars, located when the universe was around 860 million years old, provided an opportunity to study the properties of their host galaxies. Read full article here.
Fucking damn. Yeah cults can fuck of especially in a SCHOOL!!
I keep having to tear down extremely predatory/misleading Scien.tology flyers in my school's art building. This is the third fucking time I've ripped the fuckers up and I'm getting Real Fucking Tired of it.
Please do anything you can to help.
Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.
We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.
In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.
Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.
This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help.

I need some advice. Outing myself a bit here, but im a trans guy who is finally getting out from under my parents. Going into this US election, my dad is going to vote for Trump again, along with a large portion of his family. I came out to them more than a year ago, but they have decided not to respect my chosen name, opting to use my dead name instead. They have made it blatantly clear they dont support my transition, but also cant do anything to stop it.
And yet despite how much they've hurt me I still love them. I miss traveling with them, and going to gaming conventions. I miss just hanging out and watching shows with them. I really dont know what to do in this situation. Every time I interact with them my mental health gets worse. I've thought about going no contact, but without them I dont know what I would do. Not to mention some of my supportive family members probably wouldnt talk to me anymore if I did that.
Anyone out there actually manage to change their parents minds to be supportive of their transition? Or any thoughts or advice would be great, im just at a loss of what to do at this point.

Been approaching this idea for a while. We make our own enrichment, which is bard and spoons byt worth it in the end. Just wish I could find more people near me who also thought that way.

Because The Sun.
I cannot believe how many peiple do not know this. So! I am going to educate people.
Every time the Earth orbits around the Sun, that is one year. Hopefully everyone knows that. But, the Earth turns on a tilt from its orbit. That tilt causes the sun to shine differently on the planet at different times of the year, which causes the seasons. This is why when it is Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
This also means that there will be longest and shortest days of the year, which are called Solstices, and times when the day and night will be equal, called Equinoxes. Astrologically, the seasons start at those dates. However, those do not line up with a calendar nicely at all.
I also personally question why we do it that way, rather than the half way points between the equinox and solstice, as that would line up much better with what we think of the seasons, and would put it on the first of months.
Spring would start February 1st, Summer would start May 1st, Fall would start August 1st, and winter would start November 1st. But I digress
AMERICA WHAT THE FUCK???? WHY ARE THEY LIKE.. HALF WAY THROUGH THE MONTH WHAT
This is my main tumblr. It's going to be filled with random things that are cool. This includes technology, space, some fandom stuff, and sometimes PSA's. Have fun, and maybe find something new.
