One of the best letters I’ve ever seen just popped up on my Facebook memories. Still makes me laugh.

[pointless-letters]

As today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it’s a great time to revisit Dinah from Devon’s memory of this historic event. And yes, still makes me laugh.

[pointless-letters]

Today is the 54th anniversary of the moon landing, but Dinah’s diary entry is still absolutely magnificent.

[pointless-letters]

57th anniversary of the moon landing and the best diary entry in the history of diary entries. Sit down Samuel Pepys, it’s over. UGH.

We're definitely going back to this donut shop

HAPPY MOON DAY!!

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

"Did you just call me your boyfriend?"

Sirius's eyes widened, looking so startled he almost dropped the two coffees he had just ordered. "What? No."

"You did. You said 'my boyfriend' in remarkably clear Korean."

"I said roommate, Moony. The pronunciation is tricky, you don't even—"

"I know the word for boyfriend," Remus interrupted, his voice flat as they stepped away from the register. "I’ve been practicing Hangul for a year for this trip. I also know the word for 'grumpy,' which you added right at the end."

Sirius’s ears went red, but he stubbornly shoved the cup at Remus's chest. "I needed her to understand why I was ordering something with enough ginger to kill a horse. We're in a foreign country, the language barrier is an issue, context is important."

"I'm not your boyfriend."

Sirius stopped, and then turned fully, taking a deliberate half-step into Remus’s space, crowding him back just a fraction of an inch against the wood of the counter.

"No?" Sirius murmured, his voice dropping so low it vibrated just between them. "Are you sure about that?"

Remus swallowed, suddenly nervous. "Sirius—"

"Because I haven't slept in my own bed in years. I know your exact coffee order in a language I can barely speak," Sirius whispered, his eyes flicking down to Remus's mouth before slowly dragging back up. "And you let me corner you like this, and I can feel your heart beating out of your chest. So if I'm not your boyfriend, Moony... do you want to tell me what exactly we're doing?"

And Remus couldn't decide which was more terrifying: the question itself or how badly he wanted to answer it.

Anniversary of APOLLO 11 MOON LANDING

On July 20, 1969, 109 hours and 42 minutes after launch, Neil Armstrong and Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin entered the lunar lander ‘Eagle’, made a final check, and the Eagle undocked from the lunar orbiter ‘Columbia’, where the third member of the crew Michael Collins, stayed in orbit around the moon. Partially manually piloted by Armstrong, the Eagle landed 0 degrees, 41 minutes, 15 seconds north moon latitude and 23 degrees, 26 minutes east moon longitude. Armstrong stepped out, and Aldrin followed 20 minutes later: human beings stepped on the moon for the first time. The two men spent 21 hours and 26 minutes on its surface. One of the astounding aspects of the mission was the seeming simplicity of the technology used to get man to the moon. According to Oliver Gassmann, professor of Technology Management, the mobile phone in your pocket has one million times more memory than the Apollo 11’s computer. Same about the procesor: the latest phones typically have more than 100,000 times the processing power of the computer that landed man on the moon 50 years ago.

“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” –Neil Armstrong

The Muppet Odyssey would not only have the Nobody joke, it would run that shit into the ground.

Something about Trapper telling Hawkeye to mentally check out sometimes for his own sanity and then saying to Henry he's checked out all day...

stupid thought i had at work

[wiisagi-maiingan]

"Things that make your front door look tacky" "lawn decorations that lower your property value" "why you should never paint your rooms bright colors" "unique styles make your home impossible to sell" "plants that make a garden unattractive to buyers" SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP BASING YOUR HOME DECOR DECISIONS ON WHO WILL LIVE THERE NEXT AND JUST DO WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL HAPPY AND SECURE IN YOUR SPACE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[wiisagi-maiingan]

We are being encouraged to see our homes, places that many of us will live for years if not decades or our entire lives, as transient spaces that only exist to be sold one day. Don't plant your favorite flowers, buyers don't like them. Don't hang up tacky windchimes, buyers don't like them. Don't paint your living room your favorite color, buyers don't like color. Don't use unique tiles in your bathroom, buyers don't like that. Don't put plastic flamingoes and gnomes in your yard, buyers don't like them. Don't put put pretty knobs on your doors and unique plates on your light switches, buyers don't like that. Don't put up pretty light fixtures, buyers don't like them. Don't do this, don't do that, don't do anything to your home even if you're not planning on selling it anytime soon because someone is always preparing to buy it from you and you don't want to scare away a potential buyer, right?

I think everyone who gives "advice" like that is actually a shill for predatory real estate companies. And if they're not, why are they doing all that work for free?

[itsabear]

something about hoa's are the surveillance states that let the larger more real one feel less oppressive. Hoa's removing agency from actual real life adults to live their lives as they please mirrors internet bullshit. It's not linked but it feels like some explanation why some people aren't more up in arms. they are too used to the bullshit.

[ankle-beez]

surprisingly forward-thinking of jim henson and co. to make a female character in the 70's that's allowed to be loud-mouthed and violent and kind of overwhelmingly romantic and even a huge bitch at times and not have a moment where any character asks her to change

[ankle-beez]

going through all the muppet movies in a row made me realize that like. miss piggy was made in the 70's. and it's so rare even today to have a character like her. she's loud, she's selfish, she's funny, she's extremely vain, she's obsessed with romance, she's violent, she's kind of annoying, and there's not a single moment in any of these films where she's asked to tone down any of these personality traits. i am not joking when i say that miss piggy might be one of the best treated female characters ever written

I'm so incredibly charmed by this image. Look into the Face of the little brown bat and maybe you'll calm down.

Happy Fucking Moon Day

[therobotwig]

One year ago today I posted this miniature Star Wars Andor inspired photo I created. Shot practically using real figures, lighting & a couple of broom heads to create a crop field and a few perspective cheats.
