The Orion Nebula. Whenever life seems depressing, I look at shit like this to remember that there’s far more that exists that is both lifeless and fucking awesme. I don’t know that it makes anything around me any less depressing, really, but it’s better not to overthink it.

 iCufflink: I need these. Not as much as the USB flash drive cufflinks, but they’re some nice bling.
