as Russia indiscriminately bombs majors cities in Ukraine amidst rush hour again today, here is your unfriendly reminder that if you're a tankie, support Russia, support Putin, think that Ukraine defending itself is "terrorism", or support people who hold pro-Russia and/or Russian imperialist views, you're not welcome on my blog. unfollow me right now. if you come arguing i will block on sight.
support the Armed Forces in Ukraine so they can save their civilians from Russia
Stan & Xeno reunion
With human ingenuity, with science, we'll return the world's petrification to zero. And we're about to set off from that Earth.

I love them
It's taken me nearly a decade to figure out just how brilliant of a pilot Maverick actually was.
Goose died about two weeks before graduation. It's implied Maverick doesn't win any more points after that.
"He won't get back in the saddle. Won't engage... You know he might just not make it back"
Later, when Maverick goes to Viper and asks what his options are, Viper tells him he has enough points to graduate with his class. I always assumed that he ended up ranking near the bottom, on account of his trauma affecting his flying. That is until Top Gun: Maverick came out.
During the mission debrief, Warlock mentions that Cyclone also finished first in his Top Gun class. To which Maverick cheekily adds "actually, Sir, I finished second"
Therefore, that means that before Goose's death, he and Maverick had already amassed so many points that no other team could catch up to them. In second place.
Of course, I realize that only teams that win the hops get points, but still. The fact that nobody could beat them out of the second place spot with two weeks left in the program is crazy. Especially since they fly one to two hops per day!
Hey can you guys reblog Cheeseburger so he can take a sunbeam nap on lots of blogs. No other reason I just want you guys to see him.
So, Cheeseburger died on November 21st after an unfairly short battle with an unfairly rare cancer that is rarely seen in cats. I only got to spend a month with him after his diagnosis, and losing him has been the greatest heartbreak of my entire life so far. He was my best friend and my soul cat, and he was there for me when I was completely alone, for twelve long years.
I made this transparent PNG the night he died in preparation for one of the many ways I was going to memorialize him--a surface rug in his likeness that I planned on laying directly in the line of his favourite sunbeam. And I uploaded that PNG here, because this is the website where people post their cats.
I was not expecting the reception I got. Many people have pointed out that this post has more reblogs than likes, and how insane that is in 2025 when reblog culture is at an all time low. I didn't even talk about the fact that Burger passed away in the original post, it wasn't a tearjerker reblog bait or anything like that. People just loved Burger that much, in the same way I fell in love with him at first sight. He was such an ugly kitten.
Anyways, it's really special to me that so many people have reblogged my best friend. I made this PNG to memorialize him in a completely different way, and you all wound up doing just that in ways I never even imagined.
Thank you. Wherever he is, I know the sun is shining.
Hey…. Hey… Character’s covered in blood, okay? You remember characters covered in blood?? You used to love characters covered in blood
Happy Pride to everyone whose loyalty goes beyond missions!
when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil
so, sometimee, other militaries start a war with you
(sincerely, a Ukrainian)
It always goes like:
"There is an evil empire next door to you, and they keep trying to invade"
"Well, just let them? Borders aren't real, silly!"
"When they invade they want to stop you from passing down your culture, ban your language, stop you from celebrating your holidays, kidnap your kids and scatter them to the four winds."
"Well, I would just stop them, I would say no! I'd hashtag RESIST!"
"Then, they will kill you, and everyone who tries to resist."
"Well then I would fight back, I'd form a resistance movement against them, we'd train with weapons and learn to make bombs and..."
"Wouldn't it be easier if you had already trained that resistance before people were dying? Maybe, get them to learn how to hold a rifle or pilot a drone before they have to do it in secret?"
"Yeah, probably."
"Congratulations, that's an army."
You see, one could argue that the OP probably meant to say the mere existence of an institution whose purpose is to hone the skill of killing/destruction to maximum efficiency is a horrifying thing (hard to disagree), and it doesn't necessarily interfere with a people's right to defend themselves against an agressor in reality.
But the thing is, it absolutely does. People from the countries that haven't known war for decades or have always been the aggressor are equating any military with evil. Even if they say they discern between the perpetrator and the victim fighting back, there's still this underlying feeling of contempt and mistrust. And it is very much interfering with Ukraine's ability to defend itself.
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, plenty of the so-called 'progressive' westerners were opposing arming Ukraine because 'weapon bad', berating queer Ukrainians posting about taking up arms to fight russia, asking others to disregard charities related to the military needs. People were willing to donate to foodbanks etc, but not to charities collecting money for the frontline needs. Which is fine as a personal preference, and we are grateful for any help, but when it turns into a stance where supporting the military is considered bad, it's equals holding a person's hands back while they're being attacked with a knife so that they can't defend themselves, and then nobly tending to their wounds.
And what's worse, it leads to complete disregard of the victims in the military. While the civilian deaths can draw at least some attention, the deaths in the army are met with indifference. And no, not in all instances it's by design of the military as a system made to kill, so the argument 'if it wasn't for the military, they'd be alive' doesn't work in Ukraine's case. In Ukraine's case, if it wasn't for the military, they'd be just as dead, and many more people would be dead as well.
And still, I remember a post of a female Ukrainian war medic interacting with the foreigners, and realizing that her fellow figters and veterans do not even make it to the list of those deserving sympathy in their eyes despite defending the others (with the adult Ukrainian civilians being far at the bottom of the list way below animals and 'great russian culture', but that's a different conversation). And the military are one of the most vulnerable groups in the Ukrainian society at the moment due to constant danger, exhausting 24/7 work and life-changing injuries. The only way they could become even more vulnerable would be if none of us were given weapons and trained in defense at all, an entire society becoming a target with zero chance of fighting back. So, you know, if there was no military.
So yeah, maybe sometimes it's a good thing to get your head out of your own ass and understand that the countries likely to become a victim of aggression have to train their military, because surprisingly, being able to defend yourself from being genocided is a good thing, and not, in fact, evil.
unauthorized fucking thing!!!!!!

source: hellgate osprey cam
More context:
the first osprey is the father, the one that comes later is the mother.
ospreys are not eagles, they're ospreys
ospreys only eat fish, that's why they don't register this starling as possible food
the starling got home safely
the starling was not trying to eat the eggs, it was mostly curious and you can see it trying to hop under the osprey every time the osprey tries to sit down again--this is because the starling is still a baby and has the instinct to get under an adult for warmth, even though it mostly has its feathers. this scares the osprey because that is a Foreign Creature near its eggs.
at the end of the video you can see the ospreys starting to turn the eggs. birds do this so the yolk and/or embryo don't stick to the shell of the egg, which is bad for the egg's health.
ospreys have eyes adapted to seeing beneath the surface of the water!

what if i just bought the manga volumes for Water 7 and Enies Lobby. what then
Guess What
i was never that invested in Eustass Kid or his crew but i have to admit that what happened to Killer is one of the most devastating reveals in the entire series to me

this is true and all. but also never stop talking about your ship because if it’s what makes you happy then you can and should talk about it for yourself and your own enjoyment too.
there’s nothing wrong with the tweet in the screenshot, but I feel like we’ve forgotten that shipping and fandom are first and foremost for ourselves and our own enjoyment, not if the ship is popular or if there’re enough people shipping it.
just have fun. fandom and shipping is about yourself and your own enjoyment.
