Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

I haven't seen Project Hail Mary yet but I am now reading the book and oh my God, does Andy Weir ever understand scientists. I'm at the point where Grace just figured out that he is one despite not knowing his own name, and everything about his thought process right now screams scientist.

He's puzzling out his own identity via trial and error. He's very, very observant and using every little thing as a clue. He thinks in miles, the tape measure is metric. He took the time to figure out stopwatch controls before an experiment, in the midst of an identity crisis. He knows how to improvise an experiment from really basic supplies.

As Mark Watney would say, he's sciencing the shit out of this. But Grace wouldn't say that because he has like the polar opposite of Watney's swear word vocabulary.

Also the way he just trusts the data and runs with it. He doesn't go "acceleration due to gravity can't be fifteen meters per second, that's impossible," he goes "that can't be true on Earth so I'm not on Earth."

[hylianengineer]

Or it could be a centrifuge. He proceeds to spend half an hour proving it's supremely unlikely to be a centrifuge. Yeah, this man has the scientific method baked into his head.

Ohhhhhh it's the dude who wrote The Martian. I thought so but hadn't confirmed.

Yes!!! I've never even read The Martian but every time I saw stuff about it I was like "wow that is EXACTLY what my best friend (aerospace engineering degree) thinks like"

So with voting do you cum when a person get bitten into or when a person is swallowed or does it depend on the moment

[beachdeath]

usually you just mark a ballot with a pen or you select the candidate you want on a screen. sometimes you hole punch the ballot though

starting a series I’m calling “Stuff I like in Baseball”

The big stretch the first baseman has to do to catch the ball and remain on base

When a pitch rolls away and the catcher has to look all threatening at the base runners when he gets it

When the batter strikes out so bad and he can tell

When the fielder gives up trying to catch the home run ball

When the second baseman tries to catch a ball twenty feet above him

more to come

The 5-Point Trans Agenda (reblog if you agree)

Well-meaning phrases such as "Trans Rights Are Human Rights" and "Trans Rights Now!" etc are nice to see around, but they lack a clear call-to-action when "trans rights" are not clearly defined.

Therefore, we call for:

Self-ID to be enshrined in law: the right to declare one's own name and gender, to be recognized in law for all purposes; updated birth certificates and government-issued ID to be issued upon request.

Transition-related healthcare (e.g. HRT, surgeries, other gender-affirming care) to be freely accessible to all, on an informed consent basis.

Anyone who has Gillick competence must be recognized as able to give medical consent for transition-related healthcare regardless of age, just like any other healthcare.

Medically-correct unbiased trans healthcare information to be included along with any other sex education occurring within a school curriculum.

Protection from discrimination under law, to include the right of equal access to single-sex spaces as appropriate to one's gender, and protection from workplace discrimination, with wilful misgendering categorized explicitly as hate speech.

If you agree, then you are encouraged to reblog and also share this with local trans groups.

You can also use it when talking/writing to journalists, politicians and other policy-influencers/makers.

I would love to see this far and wide.

No need to credit me if sharing elsewhere, just, get the message heard, please!

"What exactly are the rights that trans people want that they don't have?" THIS. THIS IS LITERALLY ALL WE WANT (also to not get like... killed, kicked out of home, or bullied for being trans but that should be obvious)

my buddy brings her angel girlfriend to the function, I spend the whole time refusing to look at or even acknowledge her existence, because I am a staunch atheist and dont believe in that nonsense. she starts to throw things at my head to get my attention and between volleys of marbles and kitchen utensils I grunt "swamp gas. aurora borealis. probably a weather balloon.youre seeing things"

[contemptible-scoundrel]

another day, I greet my friend at the door, I look over her shoulder and raise an eyebrow, "I see you've brought the electromagnetic phenomena again,"

More context:

the first osprey is the father, the one that comes later is the mother.

ospreys are not eagles, they're ospreys

ospreys only eat fish, that's why they don't register this starling as possible food

the starling got home safely

the starling was not trying to eat the eggs, it was mostly curious and you can see it trying to hop under the osprey every time the osprey tries to sit down again--this is because the starling is still a baby and has the instinct to get under an adult for warmth, even though it mostly has its feathers. this scares the osprey because that is a Foreign Creature near its eggs.

at the end of the video you can see the ospreys starting to turn the eggs. birds do this so the yolk and/or embryo don't stick to the shell of the egg, which is bad for the egg's health.

ospreys have eyes adapted to seeing beneath the surface of the water!
