Because I'm still not over this movie:

I'm living for all of the evidence of a whole world coming together to build the Hail Mary. There's a Japanese flag on there, there's something written in what I'm pretty sure is Russian, there's the NASA logo, and there's other bits I haven't managed to suss out yet.

The movie would have been stupidly long if they did a literal adaptation of the book, but there's still so many little bits to show how this was a whole-world effort.

(though if they want to make a little short with Grace meeting the guy who made the beetles, I will not complain, that guy's insane)

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

LPT: Don't throw your junk mail away. Use it to to help the USPS instead!

Next time you get a credit card offer in the mail, or a junk piece of mail that includes a prepaid envelope or postcard, don't throw it away! Send the envelope back with a blank sheet of paper inside, or don't fill the postcard out, but still send it back. The company that sent it to you had to pay the USPS for postage on each one they get back. This is a way to support the USPS by doing very little, and sticking it to the annoying companies that want all of your money.

[daniel-oneiroi]

In the 90s we would send companies “hate mail” by stuffing prepaid envelopes with things like ‘blanks’ (flat heavy metal pieces), a roofing shingle) and layers of other competitors’ mail or junk news. This is because the company would have to pay more upon recieving the junk mail. It eats into them. It actually somewhat reduced our junk mail returnables, I think.  Send that mail y’all. 

[barrebard]

Except please don't do this to nonprofits!!

If you do this when you get a donation request or something from a nonprofit, you'll be forcing small organizations with very little overhead to deal with the incoming mail and paying for the postage.

Credit card companies? YES. Personal loan offers? ABSOLUTELY. The chain store you've never shopped at who bought your info from a competitor? BY ALL MEANS.

But don't do this to your local "Friends of the Library" fundraiser or homeless outreach program or anything like that. You'll be draining their limited resources that would be better used elsewhere.

[dragonsrequiem]

Feel free to do it to groups like Salvation Army, PETA, or Susan Komen cuz fuck them.

[thehonorablereverendfish]

Hey y'all. I was talking to a retired postmaster about this.

She was 100 percent for this, bit please PLEASE do not use metal pieces or roof tiles. It can jam the sorting machines and cost the office millions to replace it.

Cardstock? Other papers? Fine. They are flexible. They go through the machine without issue.

So go ahead, send the junk mail, but limit it to paper.

Stratt, being cranky and rude to someone: I don't have time for this, I have humanity to save-

Grace, without his morning coffee in his system and too many nights without proper sleep, reverting to teacher mode: Ehi, you can't use saving humanity as an excuse every time you're an asshole to someone! Let's regulate our emotions, redirect our frustations, bring basic respect into our interactions with others, and see how the world doesn't end any sooner, shall we?

Stratt: ...

Grace: ...

Grace: I'm so sorry. I'm mortified. Please don't kill me.

Stratt: ... I have a meeting with at least twenty old, stubborn, very powerful men in fifteen minutes. Can you do that again?

Grace: I-

Stratt: You will do that again.

Stratt: Please.

The iconic earth bean bag we see throughout the movie is a crochet ball!

There are a number of crocheters who have recreated the pattern if you'd like to make it yourself! Here are links to a few: [1] [2] [3]

the best part of field trip experiments is a chance to become THE experiment yourself ;)

In a nonexistent perfect world, there is an 80s version of The Muppets Wizard of Oz, where the gang finally meet the wizard. And instead of “pay no mind to the man behind the curtain”- Toto knocks over a table in front of A Wizard Of Oz Muppet Head who bellows PAY NO MIND TO THE MAN BENEATH THE CAMERA!!! And it’s revealed that the wizard was Jim the whole time. And he’s like “im so sorry but i’m just an entertainer you guys are gonna have to go kill the witch on your own. you should probably hurry because there’s only 30 minutes left in the runtime.” I just think that would be funny.
