Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
I know it certainly made me naive and “easy,” doing anything for male attention and validation
A very long time ago, I came across a one panel comic that burned itself into my mind. Unfortunately it was so long ago that I can’t find it anywhere, but I can provide a description.
It featured a man and a woman, each longingly looking out into space (not at each other).
The woman is saying, “Where is my Prince Charming?”
The man is saying, “Where is my insatiable whore?”
And the comic is captioned “Disney and porn are responsible for the most miserable people I know.”
Something funny about a cis man telling a trans woman that she doesn’t understand how much it sucks to be a guy
Like, no, I agree, it sucks to be a guy. That’s why I stopped. I thought you guys were supposed to like it.
If you’re a cis guy and you think it sucks to have as little gender expression as you do, you either need to talk to some transfems about whether there’s a better gender for you, or talk to some transmascs about how to get joy out of masculine expression.
I love this meme because I think humans 10,000 years ago or 100,000 years ago would also like it
the heat of the fire draws air straight up from the center over the fire. This draws the air in from the sides in a circle around the fire creating an air current, which means air is being blown toward the fire from all sides. When you sit on one side of the fire, it blocks some of the air moving toward the fire from that side. Now there is more air being blown toward the fire from the side opposite you. This pushes the smoke your direction. When you move to the other side, it just makes the same thing happen over there. The smoke actually literally does follow you around no matter where you sit. Because physics.
in other words what you actually need at the fire is other people sitting around the fire with you to balance it out ;~;
So apparently the director of the Peter Pan remake, David Lowery, said he didn’t want Tinker Bell, a sparkling magical fairy, to sparkle or have glitter, because he didn’t understand where the sparkles were coming from. These are the type of fucking guys Disney wants to make their fantasy films.
Maybe films should be made by people who
1. don’t feel superior to the story
2. actually fucking understand the story
Maybe this is why the studios think they don’t have to care about the writers striking. Because who cares about story? In the storytelling industry?
i get kidnapped by a rich creep and he does the whole “have dinner with me wearing this specific dress (or die)” thing and i’m like okay lol let’s see the dress and it turns out the dress doesn’t fit me because the loser just thought he could grab any old low-cut red dress off the rack because he’s a man and so i have to explain that there are very very few dresses that actually fit my weird proportions and so we take the fancy dinner to go and spend four hours dress shopping and then sometime around dress #27 i make my daring escape and he doesn’t even bother to pursue me because he’s so tired of shopping
