I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who donβt give a shit about womenβs & girlsβ safety.
Word fact of the day: βpenguinβ is one of the few words in the dictionary of Welsh origin: it comes from βpen gwynβ, βwhite headβ.
(And a reminder that penguins were also once known affectionately as βarsefeetβ.)
"How immensely important to us are those things in our life that are stable and unchanging. So much of our world is in motion. How welcome are the bits that stand still." ~C.R. Milne #stability#tuesdaymotivations

βMost of us have small, sad places in our hearts. My father felt deeply but kept his feelings to himself. Or rather, being a writer, he let them escape in his writing. And so such sadnesses as there were put on cap and bells and emerged as Eeyore.β~C.R.Milne #WorldMentalHealthDay
As an astrophysicist, I first came to recognize God through the design and sheer awesomeness of the universe. But the more I learn about biology, particularly of human beings, the more I stand amazed.
Galaxies are incredible and awesome structures, but in terms of complexity and design, they don't even come close to the awesomeness of human bodies. I don't understand why some atheists are so down on humankind and think we're nothing compared with the universe. It's not about size or even number, y'all.*
A universe filled with stars, galaxies, and black holes may be immense and grand, but I can simulate a lot of it with a relatively simple Fortran program. It's got nothing on the sheer wonder contained within a single human body, which is its own biological universe of unbelievable complexity and purpose.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. β Psalm 139:14
* There have been an estimated 100 billion people who've walked the face of the Earth. That's roughly equivalent to the number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. We may live on a tiny little chunk of rock, but it has hosted as many people as there are stars in the galaxy.
