If you've ever wondered what Hubble and Webb were observing at any time, there's an easy way to find out! 👀

Space Telescope Live can show you what the telescopes are looking at now and what the next planned observation will be, all in one space (pun intended 😁): https://spacetelescopelive.org/

I sometimes wonder if things have always been just as messed up, but because of almost ubiquitous, instant communication, we are now hyper-aware of that fact.

If you're reading this, don't lose hope. There's also decent people around.

I'm not American, but watching a country that a lot of people look up to or depend on implode like this feels unreal. This one just hit different for me because I'm in a healthcare profession. My deepest sympathies.
Yesterday there was an attempted mass murder of CDC staff and yet RFK the Lesser has not directly spoken to the head of the CDC. Not a single word condemning the violence from him or the President.

Turns out T injections and methylene blue can’t fill the empty space where a heart would.

I have done absolutely nothing productive for the last month or so. I painted my first Ultramarine though. Have a look.

The loss of a 'habitable ambient temperature' is a rather potent nightmare.
The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

OK I was thinking, I could try posting some interesting pathology slides weekly.
I'm not an authority by any means, but it'd be interesting to discuss, if anyone's interested.

I'd also like pick up my very neglected drawing skills, maybe I could motivate myself to upload a doodle weekly as well.

Bluesky seems more and more like a spiritual succesor to Twitter back in the good days, before it got terminally enshittified.

It sometimes feels like Twitter's going to implode any day now, yet at the same time it seems like it's too big to fail.
Anyway, here's the backup account!
