Please ignore my zoom camera smudge. I was staying with my friend in Bellingham, we got back to her house and the clouds looked so beautiful we got back in the car and drove to this spot on the shore to take pictures of the sunset. The sun was almost neon pink.

no you guys don’t understand how insane the skam experience was. if you weren’t in norway, you were literally waiting for one of the many norwegian angels to take the clips that dropped in real time on the skam site on a daily basis, and translate and upload them to a google drive so everyone else could watch them. i literally watched that show via google drive and it was all thanks to the regular fans who took the time to translate the clips so others could enjoy the show. a whole community was built via google drive. and then a whole universe was built with about eight different remakes of the show coming out of one little show that started in norway and was only meant to stay in norway.

SKAM was such an experience. I was in my freshman year of college at the time. I started watching it late, Isak’s season had already started, but it was such an original and interesting idea. The social media accounts, and the way they incorporated phones, texting and social media into the show was so cool. Clips in real time throughout the week, then clipped together at the end for the full episode. The feed with all of their posts and text conversations. So interesting and immersive. It made the characters and their lives feel all the more real. The show also intentionally built really good, in depth conversations between the characters that really showed the aspects of being a flawed but caring human and trying to navigate your way through the world and school as a young person. The differences between being an actual harmful person and making mistakes and showing how people can grow. None of the characters are perfect but you love them and care about them anyway. It does a good job of showing community and how people help people I think. (I think of the friend groups. The girls being there for Vilde and Noora, standing up for Eva when they don’t even know everything. The boys being there for Isak because they know something is going on with him. I also think of William and how patient and caring he is for Noora when she thinks she’s been assaulted. He trusts her and never forces her to tell him what’s going on. Despite his flaws (and there are many) he cares for her, writes her article, ensures she sleeps and wakes her up in time for her plans with her friends. (These are just a few examples)). I think it’s an important show.

Thors Helmet : Thor not only has his own day (Thursday), but a helmet in the heavens.  Popularly called Thor’s Helmet, NGC 2359 is a hat-shaped cosmic cloud with wing-like appendages. Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor’s Helmet is about 30 light-years across. In fact, the cosmic head-covering is more like an interstellar bubble, blown with a fast wind from the bright, massive star near the bubble’s center. Known as a Wolf-Rayet star, the central star is an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova stage of evolution. NGC 2359 is located about 15,000 light-years away toward the constellation of the Great Overdog. This remarkably sharp image is a mixed cocktail of data from broadband and narrowband filters, capturing not only natural looking stars but details of the nebula’s filamentary structures. The star in the center of Thor’s Helmet is expected to explode in a spectacular supernova sometime within the next few thousand years. via NASA
