Happy fucking pride Jonathan was murdered for being queer AND native It was a hate crime His death wasn’t by natural causes Jonathan Joss being queer and also native is a big thing as to why he was targeted in a hate crime That’s being left out of this conversation by non natives esp white non natives right now We know why They erasing that part of this During pride and indigenous month no less too His queerness and being indigenous are linked in this

“Why was he living in Texas In the South We didn’t he move to a blue state?” He was a Comanche Native in Texas He was already fucking home I know what white people are doing in posts like these But natives queer people Black people disabled people and people of color also live in the fucking south Where is that meme about white people acting like the north doesn’t also have bigotry cuz they have pizza ovens Happy fucking pride Remember that bipoc and qtipoc exist

i love the extra touches that were put on the hail mary in the movie. iirc, in the book the ship is almost completely utilitarian. crew members have a bag of personal effects, but that's pretty much it. it's basically a floating science lab.

meanwhile movieverse hail mary is sent up with a quilt stitched together of good luck symbols and crayon drawings from children all over the world. there is a vr simulation room and party hats. even though the crew is on a one-way suicide mission, you can tell the humans behind it filled the ship with as much gratitude as they could. the humans would die out there, but at least they would die knowing they were loved.

i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights

never not thinking about eva stratt being a history major. she has seen what can happen and she will do everything she can to make sure it does not happen again because she has also seen the love and knows it's worth saving

another project hail mary observation:

Rocky’s gift to Grace immediately reminded me of the Voyager Pulsar Map

When Rocky gives him that little model with all the connected points and lines, Grace somehow catches on almost instantly that rocky is from 40 eridani. And at first i was like how the hell did he recognize that pattern so fast???

And then it clicked for me...

It visually mirrors the pulsar map placed on the Voyager probe. I'm aware they work differently because the Voyager Pulsar Map is about locating Earth in the galaxy using fixed pulsar landmarks, while Rocky’s model is just mapping local star distances from 40 eridani to systems like Tau Ceti, but it’s just cool because they’re alike in the way they both use spatial patterns instead of language to show where something is from and how to get there.

The concept is so similar that your brain immediately associates it with “location,” “origin,” “this is where i am from”

If you don't know, the pulsar map on Voyager was basically humanity trying to leave behind an address in space. If extraterrestrial life ever found the probe, the map could theoretically help them trace where it came from. It was humanity saying: hey, you found our probe. Please return to Earth!

I like to think that is why Grace understood it so quickly. Because even without language, the idea behind it is strangely universal. Every intelligent life form wants to know the same things:

where are you from? how far away are you from me?

Btw the pulsar man is also ON the Hail Mary, engraved into the walls. (is a little fun fact) I don't remember when he looked at the gilded engravings, but I thought I saw it there, and that would explain why it was fresh in his mind too, the memory jogged dispite the amnesia

affirmations they will not kill me at work today. it is not in my job description to get killed. if they did kill me at work that would be weird and probably not worth it for them

[gr8writingtips]

do you have the courage to write a terrible first draft?

[paper-mario-wiki]

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

A regular part of my job is trying to reach out to people who have been quietly trying to make their community a better place; the volunteers, the teachers, the fucking. People who rehabilitate injured wild owls in a Quonset hut in the woods, and to a one this is the kind of person who immediately reviles at recognition. The kind of person who immediately says that they never got into this to get praise for it, and that they’d infinitely prefer to quietly plug away at this anonymously forever.

And from this I’ve always drawn two conclusions:

To always distrust Mr. Beast and his ilk who always want their acts of charity done on film, because the people who really want to do good and have no motives to do it besides the doing it never want recognition for it, and

That there are, in the dark, in the quiet, always people who are doing good, and the reason you don’t hear about it is because they’d rather die than receive recognition for it, but they’re real; they do exist. And you are never alone
