i am like so tired so scared my brain is fucking fried

i'm not even out yet (i don't believe in being in or out and most people know because of my subtle posting but out in the sense of saying I'm bi/queer to my parents) and these people are moving towards making us criminals again and the people who support us can also be jailed i fucking hate it all

i haven't even lived as a queer enough i haven't kissed a girl or experimented or anything and they want to criminalize dressing as the other gender too

fuck this modi govt and fuck my generation for being able to care about everything and anything but when it comes to us it's always an "of course, what did you think would happen?" or "good for india"

we've been talking about israel while our pm sux off benjinetanyahu we've been talking about chappell roan's guard which wasn't even her fault it wasn't even her guard we've been amplifying the voices of americans, the middle east, queers everywhere, but what do we get? we can't even get our own media to give a fuck, ndtv is out there calling him "the most popular world leader"

our own feminist pages, queer creators, the supposedly "liberal" people aren't amplifying this and it's like no one gives a fuck! is this what i came out of my two-week long depressive episode for, just to get greeted by the news that trans people are criminals?

what next, queers are criminals? women can't have abortions? women can't work? god i am so tired i am so sick

i wish you all cared about this.

i wish you people could look past making jokes about "being spiritually israeli", fruit island ai slop, sombr, khia asylum, ww3, maga, whatnot, but not even bothering to email your local MPs and MLAs if you're a desi (IT CAN BE DONE IN THIRTY SECONDS) YOU WON'T DIE IF YOU SCROLL THIRTY SECONDS LESS

you will spend all day trying to look cool on here and then ignore the first signs of fascism and authoritarianism in india and you know who's losing? you only. one day it will be your turn.

i cant see anything through t eary blurry eyes my best friend left

fucks me up that by total coincidence the sun and moon's size difference is exactly matched to their difference in distance from us, thus making our beautiful total solar eclipses where you can see the silver threads of the sun's corona possible because the moon just covers the sun completely

The stars (literally) aligned just right for this experience to be possible. It's likely that aliens don't have this

[uncivilliberties]

The moon is also absolutely gargantuan by moon standards. It isn't the largest moon in the solar system, but it is BY FAR the largest in comparison with its planet. Ganymede is the largest satellite of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system. Its diameter is only about 3.8% of Jupiter's. Titan's radius is 4.4% of Saturn's. Callisto and Io are the next largest in the neighborhood, with 3.4% and 2.6% the diameter of Jupiter respectively.

Our moon is number 5. It is smaller in direct comparison to the above moons. The diameter of the moon is 3475 km. That is a full 27% of the diameter of the Earth. More than a quarter. That's ridiculous. It's unheard of. The universe is large enough that the word unique probably doesn't mean a lot, but this might be about as close as you get.

This has had a huge impact on our planet. Other things aliens might not have are significant tides. One of Mars's dumpy little potatoes wouldn't be able to move oceans the way our moon does.

Our moon has also stabilized our axis to a massive degree. Without her up there our axis would wobble all over the place and our climate would be far more chaotic. Aliens might not be quite so lucky.

I guess what I am really trying to say is that the moon is extremely cool. I like the moon.

[willowdove]

Just want to add that the reason we have such a large moon is because a whole planet crashed into proto-Earth. Theia (the planet) and Earth got so superheated by this collision that their component cores fused and the impact jettisoned a lot of material into space. That massive amount of jettisoned material became our moon. So Earth and the moon have very similar composition. This does not seem to be a common method of lunar formation.

what if the answer to the fermi paradox is that life cant exist without a moon like luna

[habbadax]

I got a serious beef with the Fermi paradox. There is no Fermi paradox. There stopped being a Fermi paradox once the first radio telescopes went up, and we began to get a true sense of the sheer scale of the universe.

Space is big, empty, and loud. Sunspots can cause enough interference to affect global communications. We’re not even loud enough to talk over our own sun. On our own planet. We can barely communicate with Voyager, and we know exactly where it is and what its signal sounds like.

The Fermi paradox is like doubting the existence of Belfast, because you stood on a windy New York beach shouting towards it and didn’t get an answer.

i didn't realise we were drowned out by our own sun :(

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

She is screaming so loud

[johnmewari]

i just need my hair stroked im not even asking for much i don't remember the last time someone gave me a hug

[johnmewari]

but did you know...

i'm a fire and i'll keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade ocean wave blues come all these people think love's for show but i would Die for you in secret the devil's in the details but you got a friend in me would it be enough if i could never give you peace?

[neurodivergentaf]

it's so wild when your parent changes when you become an adult. my dad is very cordial and non confrontational - he regularly helps me with adult stuff like changing the oil or providing insurance tips. he's always smiling when i call him on video and providing jokes when i complain about college

when i was a kid, i would have to tiptoe around his anger issues often, sometimes running quietly past his work table until he got his own place completely separate from our family, locked away for days. every so often he would start screaming in the car and trying to hit me or my brother for talking too loud while my mom attempted to calm him down as he swerved on the road. and now he, smiling, helps me with car insurance.

like oh, this is just who you are when you have power over someone, and this is who you are when you dont have power over someone. no wonder you can have a normal life, friends, work while scaring the shit out of your kids and wife. i see it now. i see why no one would have believed me. that, i think, is one of the core fears of trauma - seeing the outside of it from the perspective of other adults that brushed you aside, and understanding. of course, that understanding gives the opposite of solace; it just gives you more grief with nowhere for it to go

[johnmewari]

oh god fuck

[furiousgoldfish]

parents will be like "We're good parents! We did our best!" while their child is alone in their room, terrified of footsteps, unable to conceptualize being loved by anyone.

[johnmewari]

[squish--squash]

sorry if I don't respond to message for the next 20 minutes I just ate a peach so ripe and juicy and soft and flavorful that I was in hog heaven and am now mourning the fact I inhaled it like a famished beast

[squish--squash]

nah y'all don't understand that peach was so ripe every bite was overflowing with sweet juice that I was slurping up like a man stranded in a desert finding an oasis so it wouldn't drip on me or my clothes. oh my god it was so potent with flavor I could not think anything other than about that peach, it was so firm in my hands but so soft as I bit into it too. I should have known how beautiful eating this peach was going to be when I was cutting it into fourths and the knife glided around the pit like it was nothing. oh my god it tasted so good like nectar from a goddess and I should probably stop carnally describing how good this peach was before someone asks what's wrong with me

[oceans-swim]

this possessed me btw

[squish--squash]

OH MY FUCKING GOD?!?!?!!

[gt-scribbles]

No no as another person who's had a Perfect Peach half the size of my head in california on a hot day after 4 hours of scuba diving with 0 food in my body, I understand.

I understand.
