NGC 6543, Cat’s Eye

Solar corona during the total solar eclipse l Sebastian Voltmer

Lovely Loops by NASA Goddard Photo and Video

Am I like the moon

The light I shine illuminates the meadow, tinted blue 

The wind sweeps your hair briskly

You look up, at this celestial thing

Pockmarked with time, the scars of past troubles

And think to yourself, inside yourself, where I cannot see

Do you wonder at my light, keeping you out of the dark and away from the trees?

Or do you realize that this light is not my own, but borrowed

From my fiery brother, who sleeps under the horizon

And that I merely reflect, imitate

His brighter, lighter warmth and touch

I cannot warm you, as you shiver in the cold

I cannot show off every contour of your face

I cannot reveal the hues of the flowers you hold, in the blue tinted meadow

I worry that this is what you think

With those deep eyes, as wide as the starry sky

I worry that I am not enough

Cannot be enough

Compared to the others around me

Perhaps I am wrong; you may not see that at all

But as long as I think of this, and think of you

No matter how much I may love you

I am as far away, and hard to reach

As the moon

People are weird

That’s why I live on the internet

My brother! I sing for you, for your song shall be heard.

I sing for the billions of years you have sung, and sing for billions more.

May you sing for all the stars and planets who bow to you, and sing for all the light and dark that fear you. Sing, and may the universe be better because of it.

I highly recommend checking out this video by Like Stories of Old on YouTube. He goes into lots of detail about the concept of anti-war films and how war is portrayed in media. I personally find it really fascinating.

Pretty impressive that America has been at war for 20 fucking years and yet there have been essentially no anti-war films out of supposedly liberal Hollywood because it’s effectively impossible to make war movies without the consent of the US Military who only want to be depicted with jingoistic favourability.
