Happy Pride to one of my favorite scenes from the books

[catchymemes]

blue sunset on Mars is a real phenomenon caused by the way Martian dust scatters sunlight.

Unlike Earth, where sunsets are red and orange due to the scattering of shorter blue wavelengths by our atmosphere, Mars has an extremely fine dust that scatters blue light more efficiently near the Sun.

So during sunset on Mars, the sky turns reddish-brown while the area around the Sun glows a soft blue. It’s the opposite of what we experience on Earth.

NASA’s rovers have captured this eerie sight

Nude Portraits series by photographer Trevor Christensen

[julianlovesdogs]

This is my new favorite thing

[whetstonefires]

‘portraits of people reacting to nudity’ fresh, inspired, art sfkas;lk

[headspace-hotel]

according to the notes, yes, the subjects do know ahead of time that he will be nude, so yes, this is very funny and cool

[iwannarunawayandbeapirate]

Are you familiar with twist bread/Stockbrot?

i would rather see the information for an event handwritten in sharpie on a paper towel than see another AI generated flyer

[literary-sparks]

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid

whenever I tell a story I feel like Uncle Colm from Derry Girls

[deutsche-bahn]

Ich bin immer begeistert wenn in irgend'nem Buch oder einer Doku gesagt wird, dass jemand "nach [...] eilte". Auch wenn eigentlich eine flotte Kutschfahrt usw. gemeint ist, muss ich mir immer vorstellen wie der Kurfürst von Schlagmichtot querfeldein losgesprintet ist. Und der Hofstaat hinterher. Nette Vorstellung.

[deutsche-bahn]

auf verlorene Schuhe und Perücken wird in all der Eile keine Rücksicht genommen, es geht hier um empfindliche diplomatische Angelegenheiten. Wenn man das straffe Tempo beibehält ist man schon in wenigen Wochen in Paris.

[nevertoleratelactose]

Für mich ist "Eilen" nicht Sprinten, sondern eher so in Richtung Powerwalken. Immer ein Fuß mit Bodenkontakt. Die Vorstellung von Adel mit Hofstaat absolutely moving mit Wanderstöcken find ich aber auch irgendwie witzig!

[deutsche-bahn]

consider:

"RITTMEISTER! Holen Sie meine Walkingstöcke aus dem Stall, und machen Sie meine Nordic Walking Gruppe mobil. Oh, und sorgen Sie dafür dass mein Schrittzählerstand in jedem Dorf verlesen wird. Der Pöbel soll inspiriert sein"

und so walkten sie von dannen, hinter ihnen eine Staubwolke aus Perückenpuder

really love keeping up with my mutuals through their little tags and vent posts. getting updates on how they’re doing is something like: glad to know your job at the library is going well. i’m sorry you haven’t gotten that raise. glad your finals went well. i’m sorry your teacher is so unhelpful. glad your tv show got renewed. i’m sorry they killed your favorite character. glad that you scored tickets to see your favorite artist. i’m sorry they aren’t touring near you at all. glad your cat is doing well. i’m sorry your mom is sick again. glad you’re feeling better now that it’s your favorite season. i’m sorry your meds aren’t working. glad you’re married now. i’m sorry you have to step back for your mental health. glad you’re still here. i’m sorry life is so hard. glad you’re alive, i hope things get easier for you soon

[beacon-lamp]

hello beloveds ☺️

[iceslushii]

You are appreciated

sorry to be a broken record every month but christ menstruation is a stupid concept. oooooh excuse me for not getting pregnant, why the fuck is there goo falling out of me about it? grow the fuck up and reabsorb that shit for nutrients.

[that-stone-butch]

personalized ads are so funny to me

'hey we've been spying on you and tracking your every move. it's a culmination of state of the art technology and an unprecedented invasion of consumer privacy. a room full of men with made up jobs bent their will toward decades of constructing this system, defending it in court, and tirelessly innovating new ways to aggregate more data about you'

and the end result is

'yeah so uh we saw that you recently bought a car. so here's an ad for that car'

like no i'm good actually. you might be aware that i already have one

my friend's discord server has a "proof of touch grass" channel where they post pics of them doing regular activities outdoors/in public. i think many online spaces could benefit from such a thing

[weaselle]

when i was super depressed - like struggling to eat anything barely able to get out of bed to pee depressed - my good friend asked me every day to send her a picture of me holding a leaf and a picture of a meal i was eating and it helped me significantly

(also, she was never judgey - if my meal was a single potato chip she would simply say good job eating a potato chip today <3 )

which is to say, i agree proof of touch grass is a good idea for online spaces

[yadelah]

This kinda required my brain a bit

[sashayed]

but ykw at least i'm not on mount everest. at least i'm not paying tens of thousands of dollars to slowly suffocate in a 300-person line at the gates of hell. never in my life will i have to be steered in a hypoxic stupor through the maze of poop and corpses atop mount everest. on this earth a lot of horrible things can happen to you without your permission but there are a few that you have to opt into. you can just say no thanks! and be guaranteed never to have to be on mount everest. much to be grateful for actually

[sashayed]

still not on mount everest this morning 😌 alhamdulillah
