If you take recreational drugs PLEASE BE THE FUCK CAREFUL

I wish I could help people be a little more critical about their drug choices and trust and judgement. It’s a sketchy enough field we play in, but there are still hidden land mines.

Just please please please exercise great caution. You’re looking for a beautiful, wild, life blowing awe-inducing experience. In whatever form. If you were looking for the most perfectly cooked steak or eggplant, or what have you would you just blindly accept any that you see that look alright with a moment’s glance? No. You would investigate. You would know what makes the perfect steak or eggplant. You would know what to look for, what to avoid, red flags, good signs, and you’d be able to feel it. Use the same methodology for obtaining your teaching drugs. Any of them. Shrooms, Molly, Acid, whatever. I’m not saying don’t do them. And I’m not saying don’t trust people at shows or not give in to spontaneity. I’m saying be careful. Know your shit. Don’t shrug things off.

And a footnote: If you must buy at a show (which is very risky not knowing the supplier and true history of it, but I understand sometimes what you’re gonna do) — try to examine before you dose. I know it’s hard to avoid security figures to properly look at your ish but god it can save your life. It can save your organs, your nervous and autonomic systems, your brain, your soul.

Exercise, great, caution.

The Mighty Dragonfish

The Dragonfish nebula — named for its resemblance to a terrifyingly toothy deep-sea fish — is, like its namesake, a monster. It’s something like 450 light years across… compare that to the Orion Nebula’s 12-15 light year width and you start to see how huge this thing is. It’s also incredibly massive: it may have a total mass exceeding 100,000 times the Sun’s mass, and may contain millions of stars! Even from other galaxies, it must be one of the most obvious features in the Milky Way. Yet, ironically, it’s very difficult to see at all from Earth. It’s located over 30,000 light years away, on the other side of the galaxy. There’s a vast amount of interstellar material (like dust) between us and it, absorbing its light, so in optical light it’s essentially invisible. But infrared light can pierce that fog, and the image above was taken using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, designed to look in the infrared.

Astronomers used a different infrared telescope to look at the individual stars in the nebula, and found that it has an incredible 400+ O-type stars, the most massive stars that can exist. These stars are young, hot, massive, and blast out ultraviolet light. That’s what’s making this huge gas cloud glow, and in fact the cloud is expanding under the influence of the terrible flood of radiation. Worse, those stars will eventually explode in the next million years or so, one after another, blasting out radiation and material that will dwarf even what they’re putting out now. That will eventually tear through the nebula, ramming it, causing parts of it to collapse and form new stars, and other parts to dissipate entirely. We’re safe where we are, tens of thousands of light year away. Too bad! In a million years, that’ll be quite a show.
