The perpetual rain and daylight that ends at 4:30pm isn’t ideal, tbh.
However, sometimes it makes for solid passing moments.

Today's APOD is a jaw-dropper. I love a good globular cluster, and I've observed M15 countless times with binoculars and telescopes. This deep image (with added foreground gas and dust) is just spectacular.

This is Adriana, she was only 12-year-old. She died in hospital today. The girl was wounded on November 19, when Russia struck residential buildings in Ternopil with missiles. That same attack killed her mother🕯
This brings death tall in russian attack on Ternopil to 35.

Today's migration figures show that most people arriving on small boats are fleeing crisis & conflict in places like Sudan, Eritrea & Afghanistan.
Deterrence policies won't end people's need for safety. The government should focus on expanding safe routes & helping refugees to rebuild their lives.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Structure within the major dust tail from the comet is clearly visible, together with two smaller jets trailing the nucleus and maybe even an anti-tail.

In BC, surgical abortions are provided up to 24 weeks without any extenuating circumstances AND THAT'S FINE

NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE, decides to terminate a pregnancy after 20 weeks without a damned good reason, and if you think YOUR judgement should substitute for the mother's you are a sick and demented person who is a danger to a free and democratic society, because you believe what you IMAGINE...
As much as I loathe to draw attention to the National Post, I think it's important to keep an eye on what they're up to. In this case, it's writing a piece that can be summed up with, "The stupid libs keep fear mongering about their bodily rights being taken away. Here's why we should do that."

About 15 explosions just shook Kharkiv. Closely packed in time and completely unexpected.
I barely had time to dart into the bathroom.
There are fires in the city. Im waiting for updates and hoping everyone is ok.
