Dear Trolls, I am an actress & writer/proofreader. I will not tell you my age, weight, living circumstances, or any other personal info. If you’re looking for those or want to tell me to get a “regular job,” which I will never do, you will be instantly blocked.

Happy Halloween! 🌒
We study the Moon to gain knowledge, but sometimes it also provides us with some eerie images. Here are a few photos from Artemis II to get you in the spooky spirit!

Trump's billionaire buddies are increasing your drug prices.
NEWS: One of Trump's key campaign-trail boasts is that he's cut drug prices. The GOP "should win just on this," he says.
Yet @KFF found that premiums for Medicare stand-alone drug plans are set to jump 50 PERCENT next year, on average.

Not really a "former planet" as the mainstream media always presents it — a lot of planetary scientists consider Pluto a planet because it is rounded by its own gravity. Only 4% of the IAU voted to not consider Pluto such, most of whom weren't planetary scientists. @plutosavior

The galaxy that looks too perfect to be real 💍✨
Meet Hoag’s Object — a flawless cosmic ring of newborn blue stars orbiting a glowing golden core of ancient suns. It drifts 600 million light-years away, and almost 75 years after its discovery, astronomers still can’t fully explain how something this precise could form.
And if you look through the empty gap in the middle… there’s *another* ring galaxy hiding in the distance. A second impossible circle, perfectly framed by the first. 🤯
Some of the most beautiful things in the universe still refuse to be fully understood.

We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Yesterday the Sun unleashed a powerful X1.9-class flare — one of the strongest in recent times. 🔥
A massive cloud of plasma is already racing toward Earth. Latest calculations suggest the impact on our magnetosphere could hit today around midday. A strong G3–G4 geomagnetic storm is expected — bringing vivid auroras and possible disruptions to communications.

Proud of New Jersey for standing up against the Trump Administration to protect people's health care.
This ruling will help protect Medicaid coverage for Americans.

BREAKING: We just won in court to stop the Trump Administration from ripping Medicaid away from the Pennsylvanians who need it most.
Donald Trump and RFK Jr. clearly don't give a damn about the people who rely on Medicaid to get the care they need — but we do here in Pennsylvania.
I'll continue standing up to protect our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians and make sure they can access the health care they deserve.

@NASAHubble and @NASAWebb captured a purr-fect view of the Cat’s Head Nebula.
This long thin structure, made of dark, dense dust, looks like the head of a cat, its eye a newborn star still shrouded by the dust and gas from which it formed.

Cat got your telescope? 🐾
Venture into the Cat's Head Nebula, as seen by Hubble and @NASAWebb.
Both telescopes observed the nebula across a wide spectrum of light, revealing complementary data on its cosmic activity: go.nasa.gov/48qV9jS

If you work for a living, you deserve to earn enough to live comfortably.
Owners don't get to depend on workers to keep their businesses and the economy running and then treat us as disposable.
Working people deserve better than just barely surviving.
