I have just learned that Mountain Goats are NOT, in fact, actual Goats.

I have never heard of this band. I AM in fact referring to the animal.

But wait, there’s more!

There are many reasons why I love this gifset but one of the most keysmash-worthy things is the last gif. Because it reminds me of when no lesser authority than Confucius himself was approached by his students who were concerned that he was grieving the death of his favorite disciple, Yan Hui, excessively. When they said “Your grief is excessive,” Confucius answered, and I quote, “Is it excessive? If I am not to mourn bitterly for this man, for whom should I mourn?”

Which very much feels like something both LWJ and LXC could empathize with, except they can’t just quote this passage because the whole of society would answer “You should mourn literally anyone else before you mourn this man” :)))

I stand by my assertion that the anniversary of the first moon landing should be an international holiday.

for those unaware today india experienced one of its biggest protests in half a decade. there were protests all over the nation for various causes but the major one was in delhi. all we asked for was the resignation of the education minister because he's failed the students of this nation time & time again. but we were met with brutality, the police had barricaded the main site of protest (jantar mantar). metro stations were shutdown, the public was restrained from reaching the protest site and all the adjoining areas had signal jammers to make sure the crowd had no access to constant updates. they had us blocked from all the sides. they were lathi (baton) charging students from one side & releasing tear gas from the other. you couldn't walk 100 m on streets without having a tear gas shell thrown at you. there were many students, women & kids bleeding — some from their head. some couldn't walk anymore. the police had removed their nameplates & acted with full impunity to resort to unprecedented levels of violence. they were pelting stones at us, beating up people for no reason, forcefully detaining them and attacking us constantly with tear gas & rubber bullets. they wouldn't let you exit either. the crowd was peaceful & looking out for each other yet they were met with violence. i made a friend who was all alone & she asked to join me & my friend because a policeman wouldn't leave her alone. he constantly prodded her for personal info, invited her back to the jeep saying they have food there, wouldn't stop following her around. you couldn't call or ask anyone for help, we were left to fend for ourselves & be on a constant lookout if you did not want to be beaten up to death by police. all for what? asking a resignation? shame on this country.

This moon landing day let's also celebrate Viking 1! This was the first successful landing mission on mars! Viking 1 was supposed to land on July 4th but NASA couldn't find a good landing place by then. By chance, the first day with favorable landing conditions was July 20th! So a big cheer to Viking 1 as well as the Apollo 11 moon landing today! Space is cool

Happy Moon Day! July 20, 1969.

Oil painting by astronaut Alan Bean, the fourth man to set foot on the Moon.

If you look closely, there is a portrait of Neil Armstrong taking the picture reflected in Aldrin's faceplate, and what appears to be a mistake, another astronaut standing between a tall silvery rectangle (a solar wind experiment) and the lander's leg. I always assumed this was a self-portrait, but it's probably more than that. Bean remarked of this painting's companion piece, "First Man," a portrait of what Armstrong must have looked like while taking this photo:

“I guess every astronaut wanted to be the first man on the Moon. I know I did,” says Alan Bean. “And if we couldn't be the first, we at least wanted to be one of the first. Apollo 11’s crew got the opportunity to make the first attempt. Neil, Buzz and Mike flew a perfect flight and went into the history books; but all 400,000 Americans that helped make Apollo a success are in that history, too.”

Bean often used copies of his lunar equipment to pre-texture the surface of his paintings. This one has boot footprints, gouges from his geology hammer, and circular punches from a handheld core sampler.

The Amnesty International report that JK Rowling is trying to censor through legal threats.

It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.

Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.

cosmic princess kaguya got it so right because the only force in the universe powerful enough to rewrite the tragedies of ancient folklore and build a truly happy and fulfilling ending despite them is lesbian yearning

Spanish tv calling Trump your toxic family member who you have to deal with at family gatherings and there's no way to shake off. Fifa apologize to the players for letting that man on the field and staining the trophy

[7thblackbird]

Seeing so many of the Spanish players with the flags of their respective autonomous communities is so fucking awesome 🥹

Pedro Porro with the Extremadura flag my rep!!! 💚🤍🖤
