Naoko Takeuchi visiting the Kennedy Space Center in the 1990s and meeting an astronaut! She was visiting the Center to do research for her Sailor Moon side story, "The Lover of Princess Kaguya," which was later turned into the Sailor Moon S Movie.

Decades later, when a plushie of Artemis was spotted in the mission control center during the Artemis II mission, Naoko expressed surprise and delight:

“In the manga, he’s the little cat who sends instructions to the Sailor Guardians from the command room,” she said. “That was just a fantasy that existed only in the story, so to think that 30 years later Artemis would appear in NASA’s mission control, a place I’ve always admired, is incredible. I’m so jealous. Thank you for watching over humanity’s great achievement for ten days. You did a wonderful job.”

“I’m overwhelmed that a classic from 35 years ago is still being talked about around the world,” she said. “I’m so happy. It may have been an immature work, but I’m amazed to realize that classics can become timeless across generations. Manga, anime, live action—it’s such a blessing that this work continues to be shared in so many forms.”

Hey guys LiveJournal is rumored to be going down permanently, this guy is archiving pages and communities for people for free if you ask. He has a program to do it yourself but will help you if you only have a Mac and can't run it or something. Takes some time but 100% legit

LJ Archivr Journal Requests

LJ ArchivrI helped create an application to help those interested in Archiving archive their user & community Livejournals. You can find

It's still up ATM but welp, and please remember that Dreamwidth can import your entire LJ.

[moviesludge]

i never used this but if i had I'd want to know about this

[bisexualbaker]

Something important to be aware of with Dreamwidth is that, due to Mississippi, Tennessee, and South Carolina passing some bullshit age verification/content restriction laws, you may have trouble setting up there or even accessing the site if your computer says that's where you are! One of Dreamwidth's co-founders is part of a legal team that is actively fighting against those laws (DW link, computers that say they're in Mississippi can't access 😢) and said team has a pretty good track record of getting them overturned as unconstitutional, but in the mean time, a VPN that says you're somewhere else is a good option.

If you want to learn more about Dreamwidth in general, I've got some posts that can help; right now is a pretty good time to check things out if you've been looking for a more LJ-like platform, since we're celebrating the site's anniversary!

In today's episode of "Living with a Colorblind Person", I found out my boyfriend believes Bulbasaur to be pink, so I drew a peach-inspired one for Valentine's Day 🍑 in honour of the first peach juice I asked him to buy. He got apricot

#excuse me but are you telling me that the Apollo pic is made with the help of the SUN and the Artemis one with the help of the MOON??? #that's actually so poetic i want to cry

@gorandomshesaid wait i need to sit with this one. wait.

why is it always a male character going mad avenging his dead wife and never a female character cradling her dying pure of heart husband in her arms then dragging the whole world down with her

All my zelda photocards! I finished them a while ago, but figured I should post them all together.

You can get them on my etsy here!

today I used the phrase "breasting boobily" in casual real life conversation and everyone was shocked asking how I came up with that and I had to explain it. ive been at the devil's sacrament so long that I forgot he wasn't god

[lets-burn-down-the-post-office]

“I’ve been at the devil’s sacrament so long I forgot he wasn’t god” is getting added to the tumblr line book

[olderthannetfic]

No, no, and NO.

AO3 does not live in “the cloud” because that is other people’s computers, and other people’s computers are vulnerable to censorship.

AO3 is on its own computers. It does still have to be housed somewhere, and I suppose a determined enough hater could try to find that place and go after it, but it’s a lot harder than sending spurious complaints to Amazon or whomever going “BadWrong things are hosted on your cloud service!”

Owning the servers is a core tenet of OTW/AO3.

[zz9pzza]

Warming up a new database server….

[elfwreck]

When people involved with AO3 talk about “the cost of servers” they don’t mean “the cost to pay Amazon for space on their servers.” They mean, like, the cost to physically own them, and eventually replace them with new ones. And the operating costs to run them.

AO3 is not “in the cloud.” AO3 is stored on physical machines that the OTW owns.

While this is not a solution that can work for everyone who wants to deal with controversial content, it is why AO3ple sneer at alt-righters who complain about getting thrown off hosting platforms.

I Want Us to Own the Goddamned Servers

Because I want us to own the goddamned servers, ok? Because I want a place where we can’t be TOSed and where no one can turn the lights off or try to dictate to us what kind of stories we can tell each other.

[lierdumoa]

AO3 is what a website looks like when you seize the means of production.

[jenroses]

Please note that buying new servers and storage just became a shit load more expensive.

Because AI.

To paraphrase a comment on a Gamers Nexus video, the reason computer parts are getting so expensive is that a huge amount of RAM and storage that have not been produced yet were purchased with non-existent money to put in gpus and computers that have also not yet been produced to put in data centers that have not yet been built, to be powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist, to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

So that’s fun. But it means that already owning computers that actually do the thing is SO MUCH BETTER than hiring other people to build more capacity to buy more computers to do the thing.

How bad is the RAM crisis? The price of ddr3, which is like 10-15yo tech, is going up. The price of DDR5 is now stupid expensive, 4+ times as expensive as it was a few months ago.

Mostly because there’s only one company in the world that is capable of generating the kind of chips needed and everyone uses that company because the modern world is a very precarious house of cards held together by tissue and string and we have a 50 foot toddler playing Godzilla with international trade.

Anyway AO3 is a goddamn miracle people need to respect.

[rabbitindisguise]

I think this is especially worth pointing out now because if they start fundraising more then this is most probably why they need money. If anyone’s mad that AO3 needs extra dollars then, remember to blame AI.

the girl who is comfy in bed yearns to be On The Computer. The girl who is On The Computer yearns to be comfy in bed. Thus does desire become the root of all suffering

[everlovingt]

This is why phone can be carried to bed?

But then…doomscrolling.

[ouroborosorder]

Foolish manusya. phone in bed is not the same as On The Computer

The thing that really sucks but everyone is too scared to talk about is that fumbling to plug your phone charger in doesn’t even scratch your phone
