#IntroduceYourself

Hello, Mastodon!

My background is in #astronomy through the Ph.D. level. Previously worked on high-mass #StarFormation, #galaxy evolution and #instrumentation development. Now a professional in the world of #DarkSkies. My life’s mission is to help people experience the wonder of the cosmos.

Outside of work, my interests include #law, #politics, #CurrentEvents, #history, #music and #art. Looking forward to discussing all of this and more with a new community here.

I have a president and I want him dressed in black. No colour anymore just have him dressed in black.
I see mourners walk by dressed in the proper clothes. I have to turn my head as my embarrassment grows.
I see a group of leaders. They're all dressed in black.
None complaining of their seating like that whining sack.
He holds his hand out but they quickly turn away. Like a newborn baby he behaves like this every fucking day.

FDR after winning in a landslide: "I got a mandate from Heaven, and that means I have a duty to take care of the American people."

Trump after winning by 1.5%: "I got a mandate from Heaven, and that means I can do whatever I want."

Just think about the stark difference between these two people and their mentalities.

A collection of my Fediverse blog posts about fascism and current events, published from April 13th to 15th, 2025. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, I wrote a lot about the Trump regime, ICE, and nazi billionaires.

The Skinny: Pork Reich on Parade

"If they get away with this, or even if they can just successfully use it to justify applying government pressure against an extremely large, well-funded news organization, there’s no limit to how far these nazis will take this.

Dictators NEVER willingly give up power, there has never been a single instance in all of history, they end up having to be REMOVED

"DT said Sunday that 'I’m not joking' about trying to serve a third term, the clearest indication he is considering ways to breach a constitutional barrier against continuing to lead the country after his second term ends at the beginning of 2029."
