In Which I commend the work done by the Book Redeeming the West

Good morning, my friend! I wish you a happy Friday and a happy Weekend! You also let me know if you are well, and if the weather where you are is pleasant, I hope that may be the case. This post is going to be a complement to the one of yesterday, August 20th of 2026. I really wanted to do so, and I am happy I could do it! It will be a bit of a long set of well earned and worth expressing compliments to the work of the authors I am going to mention, I would love to jump right into it! So, shall we? I did mention yesterday this incredible book I had the most privilege of reading/listening to, as I went for the audiobook. Redeeming the West: A Christian Argument for Reason and Individualism, written by Cody Lilbot, that I follow on Twitter/X, Jacob Brunton, and Ryan Graber, does the much important move that I had thought of, on my own, isolated, before. It bridges the gap between the Objectivism of Ayn Rand, and a true and in depth interpretation of the Bible and of christian ethics, sho...

In which we talk about Space!!

Hello everyone, Monday is here and another week is starting! Things sound as they're going fast, don't you think? Wow! It seems like it was yesterday that we were on my birthday week! And now it's August 13th, a day after I reached the 20 years mark! I'm still celebrating though, just today the crazy people of my class presented me with a nice surprise party!! I was in shock, of course, but definitely enjoyed it a lot!
And how are you today? How are things going? As always, I wish you the best! I'm so glad to have you here! Today I was completely out of ideas for my blog, which always sucks, I hate creative block so much! I thought about writing about a really nice illustrator - Louis Wain - BUT I was afraid it was gonna be a big post and I wanted something smaller and more relaxing, so, as usual, I went to explore the folders of my computer, and found some incredible images I got from Nasa's Twitter a year ago! And decided to share them with you guys! 
Okay, I said I wanted more relaxing, but I'm not sure if the space fits in this category. From distance, it may sounds peaceful, but the opposite is true, inspite of the laws of physics and chemistry that dictates everything there (and here too, but whatever), those rules I don't even pretend to think I'll one day do some effort to try to understand anymore, things are a chaos! Small and hot stars explode and become supernovas, things collide with each other, planets go round and round and round, orbitating stars (though some don't, but whatever AGAIN!), yes, things are an ordered mess and an anarchy with strict rules, and we have galaxies and so on, here we are, on Earth. Of course, everything I just mentioned happens in slow motion, but not any slow motion, REALLY REALLY SLOW slow motion, like, we humans are here on Earth for about like less than a million years, and we only started to think about creating cities like 5,000 years ago, well, does that sounds too much for you? Know that takes millions of years for a meteor to crash with another thing and our sun it's at the end of his life, he'll start to die 3 billion years from now. Yes, it's a mess, but a REALLY SLOW ONE, or are we too fast? Hmm... Something to think about!
By that I don't mean to downgrade humans, that wasn't my intention whatsoever, we just go in different rhythms, us and the Universe, what can we do about it? Yes, just stay alive and keep going...
Now that's enough with my monologue, let's see the pictures!




This one is my personal favorite!!




Yes, the space is fascinating and epic! And beautiful too! All those fantastic colors enchants me a lot! I've been in love with it for a long time now, I didn't miss any of the documentaries on television when I was a child. I didn't learn much about physics behind it, and in school I never undestood it, I was terrible at this subject and honestly hated it (still do), but I did learn a thing or two about the space itself and I'm always fascinated by it! When I was having painting classes back in 2015, I even did a painting on the Nebulous of Orion!


It's not 100% accurate, of course, and it doesn't do justice to the real one, which was honestly expected, but it's one of my favorite paintings that I made! I even gifted it to my mom back in 2015, for her birthday! This post was supposed to be small, but omg it's getting really big! I should probably stop now!
Well... If you're still here, you're the best honestly, never forget about that! Thank you so much! See you next time!
