To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018) dir. Susan Johnson

You make lists in your head about what you want in a lover, like brown hair and a sweet voice. A sharp mind and a soft heart, a sense of humor that actually makes you laugh like you mean it. This and that. And it’s all bullshit. Because people aren’t lists. And I’ve always wanted to be the person who made someone realize that. I want to come across someone with a list in their head that is nothing like the person I am, and I want to show them what they didn’t even know they were looking for. People who think they know what they want are fooling themselves. Nobody really knows what they want. Not until it’s right in front of them.

Want to see Agents of SHIELD renewed for a 6th season? Here’s how you can help.

If you have a Twitter account, tweet @ABC_Publicity & @ABCNetwork with the hashtag #RenewAgentsofSHIELD as much as you can. Bonus points if you add a reason why you want it renewed. You can also add in the @AgentsofSHIELD twitter, and the @Marvel twitter if you have room. As well as this, if you’re tweeting about the show (especially when the show is airing on ABC) tweet with the #AgentsofSHIELD hashtag, this helps it trend.

This one is really important: you can actually send ABC feedback specifically about Agents of SHIELD using the feedback form on their website. This can be found here. Select “ABC programming feedback” from the dropdown menu, fill out the details, and then make sure to select “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” in the show/category option, and then “I like this show because…” from the subject option. Explain why you want to see the show get renewed for a fifth season. (Note: for people outside of the US, you can select “international” from the state menu.)

You can also call ABC and leave feedback (full credit to @panicatcivilwar for this one - original post here) Dial 818-460-7477 (add +1 at the beginning if you’re dialling via an international phone) to get to the Audience Information Department. Press 1 for ABC Television Network, press 2 for leave a comment, press 2 again for prime time shows, and then enter 744 for Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Leave your message (up to 30 seconds recorded), and then simply hang up.

Rewatch/Watch Agents of SHIELD episodes via the ABC website or ABC app or via Hulu. Not only does this show continued interest in the show, but these type of ratings do count for something in the modern day television landscape. Two types of ratings are measured after a new episode premieres: the Live+3 ratings measure live viewing plus DVR viewing up to three days later, and the Live+7 ratings measure live viewing plus DVR viewing up to seven days later. So if you can rewatch a new episode during this timeframe, it helps. Browsing the internet? Writing a paper? Doing some chores? Stick on the newest Agents of SHIELD episode via the ABC app/website or Hulu and leave it on in the background. Mute if needed.

If any of the Agents of SHIELD official social media accounts post anything: like it, retweet it, reblog it, comment on it, respond to it. Every little helps.

If you’re a US resident, watch the show live! Everyone knows live ratings help with renewals, but thought I’d pop this on the list anyway.

Not a US resident? Find out which channel Agents of SHIELD airs on and watch it. If that channel has a streaming service, watch it on there too. The higher the viewing figures, the more likely whichever channel it’s airing on is to pick up more episodes/seasons, therefore letting ABC know there is an international audience for the show.

We’ve probably all heard down the grapevine that a renewal is a becoming a little bit more likely, but we need to keep telling ABC how much we love the show and how much we want that sixth season. Use the hashtags, leave feedback, rewatch the episodes, and respond to the Agents of SHIELD social media accounts. All of this will help.

Science side of Tumblr: how can dragons breathe fire?

thatweirdscienceguy

There are three variants of dragons. One of them possesses a gland that produces a liquid, which spontaneously combusts when coming into contact with oxygen. Some phosphorus compounds could do that for example. The second one possesses two glands instead, which produce so-called hypergolic propellants, fluids that ignite when they come into contact with one another. The third kind stores the methane bacteria in their stomach produce, and expells it when breathing fire. In their mouth there’s a piezoelectric crystal, which is a substance that produces a spark when placed under mechanical stress and could thus serve to ignite the methane gas. Or it’s magic.

I remember first learning that you can cry from any emotion, that emotions are chemical levels in your brain and your body is constantly trying to maintain equilibrium. so if one emotion sky rockets, that chemical becomes flagged and signals the tear duct to open as an exit to release that emotion packaged neatly within a tear. Everything made sense after learning that. That sudden stability of your emotions after crying. How crying is often accompanied by the inability to feel any other emotion in that precise moment. And it is especially beautiful knowing that it is even possible to experience so much beauty or love or happiness that your body literally can’t hold on to all of it. So what I’ve learned is that crying signifies that you are feeling as much as humanely possible and that is living to the fullest extent. So keep feeling and cry often and as much as needed

SHIT WHAT

Also let yourself cry. It really is a biochemical release valve to dump out all the chemicals that make you feel stuff.

I honestly think one reason men in western culture have so many problems is that we don’t let them cry, and literally their brains get stuffed with all this crap that doesn’t have a release valve. Men, please cry. You’ll feel better. It’s ok. You are not lesser for taking care of your health.
