almost everyone loves space. we are all fascinated by some aspect of the universe at some point in our lives, whether that aspect is the changing colours of the sky or the millions of stars and clusters of stars in our never-ending galaxy. as someone who plans to study astronomy and cosmology when they grow up, space definitely means a lot to me. the sad part is that we know so little about the universe, even after studying it for centuries. but what we do know now is what’ll help us make huge new discoveries, so here’s a masterpost of common questions/answers + resources for learning more about something we know almost nothing about - the universe!

I want to be really clear about something: Planned Parenthood has done more to prevent abortion than the pro-life movement ever has.

[savordance-lifesupport]

Yup, preventing abortion by giving abortions. Makes sense!

[apoeticmindset]

No you fucking crusty nutsack giving people the education and the tools to not become pregnant in the first fucking place

[ghoulvalentines-archive]

One of my Christian friends made a Facebook post about how PP gave her tons of resources when she was trying to get pregnant and people were actually genuinely shocked that they provided such resources; they had fully bought into the idea that PP is just an “abortion factory”. The misinformation that’s been spread about PP is unreal.

[osheamobile]

gosh it’s almost like Planned Parenthood will help you plan for parenthood

honestly if a vampire ever “sparkled” in public no ones going to think they’re not human. they’re just gonna be like “damn that’s a lot of body glitter. man look at you being you, right on. you do you boo, freedom of expression.”

[bowlingshirtbellas]

Vampires can go out in the sun now thanks to fenty body lava

[mulhollandrivedyke]

so you know that scene after simon has been outed and he’s in his room and just breaks down, throwing pillows and sobbing? that’s the most honest and real scene i’ve seen in my entire life about being outed. i absolutely lost my shit watching it because i knew that exact feeling- after the shock the absolute mix of anger and humiliation, and shame. it was one of the most painful and important things about the movie, and honestly, no straight\cis person who watches that is ever going to understand that exact feeling and feel that same pain.

[kageraccoon-deactivated20180601]

Hey. Sapphicatthedisco. I understand what it feels like. I understand and feel the pain. And I’m straight. So.. No generalizing, ok?

[mulhollandrivedyke]

Don’t Hey. Sapphicatthedisco me lol no you don’t

[poison-dartfrogs]

LGBT+ people: wow being outed before ready is horrible and incredibly dangerous and humiliating, and literally only LGBT+ people can possibly understand it because cishet people can’t actually be outed

Str8 people: actually as a Straight Person I take offense that you left me out of this we have feelings too once my friend told someone that I’m straight and they didn’t react at all can you believe it, the injustice

LGBT+ people: Tina, you absolute fuck

[pollyjean]

straights are absolutely wild

[komtrikrulexacommander100heda-d]

[enoughtohold]

when “heaven is a place on earth” comes on in public and you have an emotional reaction that’s incomprehensible to straight people

PSA: journalists aren’t supposed to put names in the headlines if the person isn’t a public figure. It’s not a matter of maliciously not giving credit

[orson-bigdaddy-krennic]

^^^as a journalist, this is something that bothers me ALL THE TIME

[thalassarche]

A friend of mine on Twitter explained this the other day, so to elaborate based on what she said: If the name is not instantly recognizable the way a public figure is, then putting the name in the headline isn’t going to bring about any sort of recognition or connection in the reader, and doesn’t do much to draw the reader into the story. But something like “local teen” does create a connection by tying the person into the community, and encourages the reader to learn more about what this local teen has done. The name will be in the article itself, after the headline has done its job at getting the reader to look into it.

[captainsnoop-deactivated2020041]

It’s worth noting too that usually, according to the Inverted Pyramid writing style used for journalism where the most important information is shared first, the person’s name is usually in the first sentence of the first paragraph.

Whenever I see someone get up at arms over a headline that says “Local Teen” and the first comment is “SAY THEIR NAME” I’m always like “hey, thanks for telling every journalist present that you don’t read articles and just skim headlines.” Really makes us feel appreciated.

[zandorv]

I think this Onion headline illustrates the point pretty well

[the-real-seebs]

Also, if it’s local [thir-seven]teen, it may not be legal to name them in some contexts.

“Kids go to foster care or whatever”

Mainstream media tends to ignore or not highlight these stories if the victims are POC, minorities or poor.

[i-hate-chick-fil-a]

“Foster care”

[flakkakhan]

What a disgrace

[paper-mario-wiki]

i was just in the market and was talking to the bagging lady about the weather since its been really warm and i was sayin how i dont like the heat and prefer the cold and she was like “oh yeah i get that” and i said “cuz you can get under a blanket to get out of the cold but in the heat it’s not like you can take off your-” and in unison she said “clothes” and i said “skin” and i think thats what people mean when they talk about the generational divide

Aren’t you gay?

I like how this implies I did something heterosexual. If so, I apologize.
