I refuse to be ashamed of letting my body hair be visible. Someone says “you don’t shave your legs?!” I say “Of course not.” Especially if a man says it to me. I’d say “Why, do you?” Fuck that. I will not pretend it’s my problem to exist in my natural state. I will make sure people know they’re the ones in the wrong for trying to make me change.
Many white dwarf stars have companion stars. What was once a binary pair of stars, one star exhausts its fuel and after being a red giant, sheds its outer shell and collapses into a white dwarf. Often the companion star is far enough away to not be a problem, but from time to time, they are close enough for an exchange of material, particularly if the partner star bloats to become a red giant. The white dwarf begins to snack on the material from the partner star.
Now, you’d imagine the white dwarf would then grow in size, but rather, it shrinks !
It’s not the size that denotes the amount of material, it’s the mass, and as the mass increases, so does the gravitational effect, and the matter is then crushed further down.
As the gravitational pull increases, it is possible that the now dead star can gain enough pressure at the centre to re-ignite fusion of carbon and oxygen, and it turns out that the mass required to do this, sits very close to the limit where neutron stars are formed. So suddenly a huge portion of the carbon and oxygen begins to fuse, and causes a huge explosion of energy. so much so, that most supernova explosions will output more energy in that one event, than our sun will in it’s entire 10 billion years of main sequence life.

women wearing baggy clothes with their natural hair, bare face, sitting down comfortably while unapologetically taking up lots of space... with a big smile on... nothing is more beautiful... i want to be surrounded by that energy

here is your gentle reminder that there are dandelions growing through cracks in the sidewalk. there is a fence lizard on the porch who is growing a new tail. there are trees growing through an abandoned house, branches tearing through the ceiling, ferns carpeting the floor. there is life pushing forward, pushing through.
