Solidarity 😌

People who don’t want to read The Martian in case the science is too complicated should be informed that it contains the lines “The best way to store the ingredients of water is to make them be water”, “It is of course dangerous to set off an explosive device on a spacecraft”, and “If I cut a hole in the wall of the hab, the air won’t stay inside any more”.

[neilarmstrong]

I love this fucking book

[osheamobile]

“I’ve said the words kilowatt-hours-per-sol so many times they’ve lost all meaning so I’m going to call them pirate-ninjas.

“So I need to generate nine hundred pirate-ninjas…”

[magnificentbane-deactivated2019]

there’s an entire chapter dedicated to him wondering how the cubs are doing while he’s stuck on mars, dying

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I like the part where the guys on Earth are like “He thinks we all gave up on him, and that he’s completely alone. I wonder what he’s thinking about right now.” And he’s like “How come Aquaman can control whales?”

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

Mark Watney is such a great example of how to teach to laymen. Andy Weir wrote a book about a man who basically gives the reader a 369 page science lesson and it’s literally never boring or too complicated or patronising. He uses language that is accessible to the reader, removes technical jargon, adds in humour and all without belittling the reader or making them feel stupid for being given the simplified explanation.

piece of advice: sometimes you just have to say “okay bitch” and move on

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

this deserves immortalization

[collegeconniption]

Still alive.  Bought the house.  Going pretty well.  Just got back from a road trip to Georgia to visit my sister.  I hiked and Geocached a lot.  Met up with both my river cleanup groups on the way down. I have summer plans for much more caching!! 

I’ll try to stay more active on Tumblr.  I’m slightly embarrassed to say that my return to Tumblr is due to Jacob Pitt’s junk as seen on Sneaky Pete.

[thechanelmuse]

I know that’s tf right.

Here’s another reason:

[strangebiology]

People are giving too much blood after the Las Vegas shooting, medical officials say

Task Force warns about wasted blood and future shortages.

Blood banks need consistent donors, because they need blood on hand when for unpredictable accidents and shootings. Too many people donating at one time can lead to blood banks throwing donations in the trash–as they did with 200,000 pints after 9/11.

While it’s nice that donors are willing to line up to donate 5 hours before centers even open after disaster strikes, those donors can’t be accommodated. Better to make an appointment. 

[collegeconniption]

them: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST MEANS HUMANS MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY SELF-SUFFICIENT AND COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT

biologist:

[systlin]

Like literally the only reason we didn’t go extinct is because we are aggressively social creatures who community organized and helped each other when faced with disasters that drove other species over the brink. 

 (Like we’re so aggressively social that we looked at APEX PREDATORS and went ‘they look soft! Friend????’)

(The answer was yes because wolves are also aggressively social and they adopted the strange tall not-wolves just as eagerly.)

[kelssiel]

humans @ wolves: holy shit these things are so cute i wonder if they’ll let us pet them?

[systlin]

I literally had a friend say this the other day while having dinner with him and his husband. 

“Listen.” He said. “I served in the military. 10 years in the army, and had to keep my mouth shut and pretend. I had to pretend to everyone, until I just got sick of it and decided fuck you all. I haven’t been nice in years. Everyone saying I should shut up can kiss my ass.” 

If people wanted nice gay people they should have been nicer to them. 

[rocketmermaid]

IF PEOPLE WANTED NICE GAY PEOPLE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN NICER TO THEM

Are you Wonder Woman or Jessica Jones? Tag yourself.

[listenlearninspireteach]

I am Wonder Woman and my husband is Jessica Jones. We balance each other out to be realists instead of an optimist or pessimist.

[marvelgifs]

[dagangstapenguin]

The most realistic scene in any Marvel movie.
