Anniversary of APOLLO 11 MOON LANDING

On July 20, 1969, 109 hours and 42 minutes after launch, Neil Armstrong and Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin entered the lunar lander ‘Eagle’, made a final check, and the Eagle undocked from the lunar orbiter ‘Columbia’, where the third member of the crew Michael Collins, stayed in orbit around the moon. Partially manually piloted by Armstrong, the Eagle landed 0 degrees, 41 minutes, 15 seconds north moon latitude and 23 degrees, 26 minutes east moon longitude. Armstrong stepped out, and Aldrin followed 20 minutes later: human beings stepped on the moon for the first time. The two men spent 21 hours and 26 minutes on its surface. One of the astounding aspects of the mission was the seeming simplicity of the technology used to get man to the moon. According to Oliver Gassmann, professor of Technology Management, the mobile phone in your pocket has one million times more memory than the Apollo 11’s computer. Same about the procesor: the latest phones typically have more than 100,000 times the processing power of the computer that landed man on the moon 50 years ago.

“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” –Neil Armstrong

“fujoshis are harmful to gay men” not this gay man.

[cloudabserk]

on twitter this got a bunch of responses like “wow even the evil fujoshis? the homophobic yet hypocritically fetishistic ones? what if the fujoshi is racist?” and like well no obviously not in that case.

“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

"What if poor people abuse the system?"

Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity

[moniquill]

The problem is the insane bisexuals are not interested in commercializing. They write for free and publish their works on AO3.

#hello yes#as one of the individuals in question#WATCH THIS SPACE#but it's true that publishing#understands marketing ff and mm to queer folks#it is LESS savvy#when it comes to wildly queer fm romance#they cannot conceive of a market for it#but if you enjoy such a concept#read Untamed by Anna Cowan#the most bonkers queer historical romance#years ahead of its time#tragically#but so so so so good (tags by @fahye)

[mixtapestar]

any tips on finding a copy/ebook version of Untamed? I can't seem to find any active links

[morethanslightly]

oh that's a bummer, I didn't realize it was no longer available! Anna Cowan's website says she just had the rights reverted to her and that she does intend to make it available again, but there's no date given

I own it, but as a Kindle ebook, which is a maddeningly difficult thing to share, sigh

sorry to have recommended something out of print! as penance, here are some other books I like with m/f romances where there is some good gender stuff happening

Fan Service by Rosie Danan (contemporary paranormal, the star of a CW-type show actually starts turning into a werewolf and goes to the moderator of the show's fan forum for help, she's a bisexual fandom weirdo, he might be too)

Isn't It Obvious? by Rachel Runya Katz (contemporary, bi4bi, they love each other online and hate each other irl, this is funny and delightful)

The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow (fantasy, she's a huge butch bisexual medieval lady knight and he's a scrawny little modern scholar who studies her, they get stuck in a timeloop, it will make you cry)

like almost every Talia Hibbert book!! they are all great but I've got a soft spot for The Roommate Risk (contemporary, the title gets the premise across, the FMC is a wreck and there's a lot of angst)

You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi (contemporary, absolutely gorgeous prose, two people come together after grief, bi4bi)

Tell Me Anything by Skye Kilaen (contemporary, bi4bi, he's been out for a long time and has a loving queer community, she's struggling with coming out because her family is awful, and also her life is just really tough, this is so real and grounded and full of angst)

The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian (historical, I don't know if this one will make any sense if you haven't read The Queer Principles of Kit Webb, which is m/m, but both are good and they're about robbing rich people for justice and fun)

A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall (historical, trans woman fakes her own death at Waterloo in order to be herself, in doing so she cuts ties with her best friend, he's so destroyed by grief when they see each other again years later that he doesn't recognize her)

I could make a whole other list for polyamorous romances but I'm gonna stop here for now because it's bedtime
