Every day Mission Control wakes them up with a song, they plan that - they put time and thought into every moment these four astronauts will spend up there, and part of that is choosing a song to wake the astronauts each day. On flyby day they had a recoding from Apollo 8 Astronaut Jim Lovell, welcoming them to the neighborhood and passing on the torch to them. Apollo 8 who flew the first lunar fly by in 1968. One team of firsts, to another. In what they do here in these few wonderful days, they are some of the best of us.

the word "hero" is one of the most misused pieces of vocabulary in our language, abused by fans and cynical politicians alike to the point where it has come to mean very little

but people like this, who show us a reflection of our best possible minds and hearts, who offer glimpses into how and why humankind can be great: that's what heroes do

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.

They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.

They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.

Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.

And it's BEAUTIFUL

one day it'll happen to you. you will stay up a bit too late playing a video game and not get to bed on time. I've done it before, you'll think. I'll be fine. but no. you will make it through most of the next day and then at about 2pm you will feel like a reanimated corpse whose sim meters are all completely fucked and nothing hurts exactly but everything does feel very bad. and you'll think oh yeah. I'm not twenty anymore

i remember years ago in my early twenties i was at a club and i ended up dancing with a gay man and we kissed on the dance floor and when my group left i could tell the vibe was super off and i was like what’s up? and it turned out two of my friends were mad at me for kissing a man because i’m a lesbian and i was so dumbfounded by this because i operated under the impression that people kiss people they aren’t attracted to all the time for any number of reasons, one being that some people just enjoy kissing other people and attraction doesn’t play a role at all. but my friends were of two opinions: if I went on kissing men, regardless of why, it was wrong and bad for me to continue identifying as a lesbian.

and worse, if i went on kissing gay men at bars and identifying as a lesbian, it would be my fault implicitly that straight homophobic creeps think they can get lesbians to sleep with them.

which i thought was honestly a lot of responsibility to put on me for the sin of drinking a long island ice tea with a gay bar pour and getting a little carried away to an ABBA remix but alright

Still love this.

we should adopt this strategy with more things! "We understand some politicians may feel uncomfortable using some of the correct pronouns for their trans constituents. For the sake of coherent discussions, we encourage politicians to process their discomfort and participate in politics only once they're able to use the correct pronouns."

[fairycosmos]

don’t understand where people get the energy to be an active participant in their own lives. the days just happen to me for real

fun fact one of the world champions in pepper-eating contests is a trans woman and she actually faced significant backlash because people somehow thought she had a biological advantage. to eating spicy pepper

[grippy3000]

update bc i went back and checked: her name is brianna “the chilli queen” skinner and she set a record in 2017 by slamming back 23 carolina reapers consecutively. she only stopped when told to by the referees, and the next year she stepped down out of boredom. queen

[pettyartist]

Here's a picture of her, by the way

And her super supportive wife

The championship, it should be noted, is unisex. Apparently being a trans woman gives you an innate biological advantage over both cis men and cis women.
