2017 mood.

I normally don’t reblog things like this but honestly this is one of a kind and buzz is fantastic
God bless
Buzz Aldrin once punched a dude who said the moon landing was fake. I love him.
TRIOLET FOR LAIKA, FIRST DOG IN SPACE 11/03/1957 They sealed your steel sarcophagus; they made no plans to bring you home. (Perhaps they thought you Anubis.) They sealed your steel sarcophagus and let you burn—like Sirius, the other dog-star in the dome. They sealed your steel sarcophagus. They made no plans to bring you home. by Ann Eichler Kolakowski
Sixty years ago, Laika became the first animal launched into orbit, paving the way for human spaceflight. … Laika, a stray dog from the streets of Moscow, was selected to be the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into outer space on November 3, 1957, with no plans for return to Earth.
In New Zealand, a Translated ‘Moana’ Bolsters an Indigenous Language
AUCKLAND, New Zealand — The families lined up at the theater above a shopping mall here in New Zealand’s biggest city and filed past posters for Stephen King’s “It” and “Captain Underpants” for a film unlike any they had ever seen — the Disney hit “Moana,” translated into the indigenous language of New Zealand.
“Kei te pehea koe?” said the ticket taker, Jane Paul, greeting groups of children with a phrase meaning, “How are you?”
“Are you Maori too?” one girl asked.
About 125,000 of New Zealand’s 4.7 million people speak the Maori language, or “te reo Māori,” as it is widely rendered here. There are concerns that numbers are declining, putting it at risk of dying out. But with one in three Maori people in New Zealand younger than 15, experts said the chance for youth to see a wildly popular movie in their own words could turn the language’s fortunes around after more official efforts faltered.
“The language has got to be made cool and sexy and relevant to young people, and this movie is the perfect way to make that happen,” said Haami Piripi, a former head of the government body charged with promoting te reo Māori as a living language.
…
Taika Waititi, a New Zealand writer and director who worked on the original English-language version of “Moana,” also approached Disney early on about translating the film, and his sister, Tweedie Waititi, went on to produce the translated version.
The film was screened free at 30 theaters around New Zealand at the end of the annual Maori language week. It did not have English subtitles, but screenings were fully booked within 30 minutes, leading to plans in at least one town for additional showings.
Many of those attending in Manukau, in southern Auckland, said they had never seen a film at the theater entirely in their language before.
…Parents entering the theater said they relished the chance for their children to see themselves and their language reflected on the big screen, in a different kind of story that they hoped would instill pride in being Maori.
…
Most of the efforts to revitalize the language that have worked so far, he added, have been initiated by protest or court action. But Mr. Piripi said the film “Moana reo Māori” had given him hope there was another way: making the language “cool, relevant and useful” to young Maori.
“There’s no other film in the Maori language that would attract whanau and kids like that,” he said, using the word for families.
The entire process, including translation, recording the voices and mixing the sound, happened over three months.
Katarina Edmonds, a senior lecturer in Maori education at the University of Auckland, and one of three people who translated the film, said the team worked not only to find the exact equivalents of words in the Disney script, but also to remain true to the Maori language and tikanga, or cultural values.
Some moments of the film posed a challenge; Moana raging at the ocean, for example, contravened a Maori cultural rule to never curse or turn one’s back on the sea, so they turned it into a more humorous moment using careful wordplay.
At the same time, Ms. Edmonds said, the translation gave the film a uniquely Maori flavor of humor, while staying true to the spirit of the original script.
Rachel House, a New Zealand actor who voiced the character Gramma Tala in both the English and Maori versions of the film — and who was also the performance director of the Maori production — said she had been blown away by the response to the film, and the 30 theaters that screened it free.
“I’ve been on a very slow journey with the language for years, and now I feel like I can sit back and really enjoy the film, and experience the learning tool that it represents,” she said.
In Manukau, most families left the theater beaming. Many said they were eager to buy a DVD of the film, which is expected sometime in the next few months.
Desiree Tipene, 30, said that having grown up with immersion schooling, she was determined to give her children a similar experience — for a sense of identity and spiritual connection. She described “Moana” as a “funny and beautiful” way for her four children to connect with their culture.
“I just enjoy our language being spoken,” she said.

This mom is using her coupon clipping skills to help hurricane victims in need.
Laundry detergent, soap, diapers, baby wipes, formula - you name it,the Texas woman has bought it.
Kimberly Gager volunteered to shop on behalf of anyone willing to donate toward hurricane evacuees. She expected a few friends to pinch in, but to her surprise, she got dozens of responses. Since then, she has been clipping coupons, making trips to the store and delivering items.
She’s spent about $2,700 - but gotten goods worth about $5,000 in retail price.
Gager estimates she’s made at least 50 trips to her local Walgreens and Target to stock up on items families have requested.
So far, she’s delivered items to nearly 30 families. And she’s looking for even more people to help.
Tonight this woman returns from space, the all-time US record-holder. Commander Peggy Whitson PhD, you rock.
War cats in hammocks. Known as ship’s cat, these heroic felines have been a common feature on ships since ancient times. They are of value not only for providing protection from rodents, but also as morale boosters.The spread of mass communication during World War II, led to a number of ship’s cats becoming celebrities in their own right.

This makes me happy.
Same! Here’s a post about cats with wings

The owner is the billionaire serial trophy-killer who "accidentally" destroyed an African nature preserve's only female Black Rhino -- and posed gloating over her corpse. Like a public masturbator or flasher he flaunts his perversion, posting his vile trophy-porn all over the Internet and in his stores. Please fill out your feedback. Let him know his sandwiches are as sickening as his canned trophy-safaris. Not surprisingly, this cowardly filth has also been accused of abusing and ripping off his employees, too.
one thing that makes me sad about startrekverse is that alongside genuinely utopian things like “in the future there will be no poverty or hunger or crimes or illness” there is also “in the future there will be no religion” like what is this a john lennon song. i am sending you my least amused face
it saddens me that apparently a utopian future involves “”transcending”” religion which apparently universally and inherently holds humanity back?? whaaat. give me a break
i dont want to imagine a utopian SPACE FUTURE which has no, like, hijabi starfleet officers, or space rabbis bickering about what counts as “sunset” when you are on a space station. or what counts as “friday” for that matter
BUT MOST OF ALL
I DONT WANT TO IMAGINE A SPACE FUTURE IN WHICH EVERYONE DOES NOT VALIANTLY PRETEND THAT THERE IS NO ONE HOME ON THEIR STARSHIP WHEN THE MORMON MISSIONARY PODS COME BEETLING BY WITH THEIR DIGITAL PAMPHLETS
AND I AM WILLING TO BET THAT YOU DONT WANT TO IMAGINE THAT EITHER
i was nodding along all serious and then my tea came out my nose
“Captain, we’re being hailed”
“On Screen”
“Hello Captain, this is the Mormon Faith Ship Joseph Smith, have you thought about letting Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ into your life?”
“…You have reached the holographic life size double of Captain Pipistrellus, please leave a message after the beep. Um… beep?”
I just had a vivid mental image of a Star Trek AU where the Borg have successfully been pacified by converting them to Mormonism, and now instead of forcibly assimilating entire worlds into the Collective, they just loom ominously and hand out explanatory pamphlets outlining the spiritual benefits of joining the cyber-Mormon hive mind.
They get more converts than you’d think.
listen as tumblr’s resident mormon™, this checks out, and not just because mormonism like, is Totally on Board with the Existence of Aliens
