[Well, to synopsize: a binary star system's members are spiraling inwards and in 2022 the light from their collision should reach Earth, if predictions are correct, resulting in a bright naked-eye-visible star appearing where there currently isn't such an object. People who know more about astronomy than I do are eagerly invited to edit my synopsis.] With thanks to lemonsharks for the link.



Okay, I have to live through 2022. No matter what. Despite our ridiculous president and his eager supporters, regardless of if I get beaten up or imprisoned for my political views, no matter if I'm fired and homeless or have a heart attack or an aneurism or are hit by a car or am mugged and knifed in an alley or however much worse my vision gets or whatever else happens to me between now and 2022 I am going to make it through with enough of at least one eye to see a new star.

I am. And I won't kill myself either. Because a true new star will arrive and I'm going to be here to see it. No matter what.

[Dear Universe: this is not a challenge, please. I would like a calm and boring next five years, thank you. I can make my own entertainment.]
