So apparently itās āthere will come soft rainsā day today!
Congrats everyone on making it to 2026 without a human-ending event as our robot servants continuing to take care of the home in our stead. How nice. Ray Bradbury would be proud
I got you.

An idea for a Project Hail Mary / Star Trek universe.
See, PHM does not take place in the Star Trek universe; the timeline is off. The Vulcans had warp drive long before then so they could have simply cured the astrophage in a quick jaunt round the block.
BUT, I've always nurtured the secret hope that the singularity that sucks up Vulcan in 2009 didn't destroy it, but simply transported it into a different universe (as happened to Nero and Spock Prime).
Imagine the WHOLE PLANET suddenly appears in the 40 Eridani system. And the Eridians are like oh my god. The people there are almost Grace shaped!!
Extra cool if Grace still happens to be around at the time.
AOS T'Pring meets Rocky and Grace (because T'Pring deserves the time to shine she gets the first contact)
They introduce Amanda later on. Like "ah yes we too have a resident human!"
The scientists at the VSA would go wild over the implications of astrophage. Sure, they have warp drive so the applications arenāt the same, but it would still be insanely useful stuff
Actually all the science exchange happening (assuming the Vulcanās could justify it) in this situation would be fascinating
no animal was harmed during the making of this video. not one. for the few minutes that we were shooting film, the guns of each hunter fell silent. the industrial bolt throwers observed a moment's peace and the jaws of every predator hung softly open. no fish bit any hook and the bait worms held off on drowning only until the cameras stopped. the tails of ruminants ceased to flick just as their attendant flies, in unison, landed on their flanks to catch their tiny breaths. a spider instantly stopped winding silk around a wasp, patiently waiting for the caesura to end. a young veterinarian paused with the syringe in their hand. somewhere, a colicky baby stopped biting its mother's nipple and nursed happily for the very first time. we're sorry. we're sorry it couldn't have been longer. we didn't know this would happen.

Performance art is good and listening to people who don't understand art talk about performance art is a unique type of torture.
Which is probably a thought that could be the core of a pretty fun, masturbatory piece of performance art.
Oh. Oh actually. Actually.
Okay, so the name of the piece is "It's what you make of it" and you have a setup that's a cross between a zoltar fortune-teller machine and a crank penny press. The room the piece is performed in has a warning about recording the performance and cautions the viewer to only interact with the piece of they consent to being recorded and photographed.
The artist is in the box, made up as a marionette and the viewer can use pulleys and switches to position the artist's limbs and to change the background and lighting of the box and can type a short prompt for the artist to repeat and act out verbatim.
The viewer has to drop a token (provided as part of the piece) into a coin slot and work a crank to complete the prompt. While the artist is acting out the prompt, the prompt is printed on a photo strip that includes a picture of the prompter (taken by a hidden webcam on the booth). One copy of the prompt and photo is spit out along with the cranked token (which has the phrase "it's what you make of it" and an image of a clown pressed into it) for the viewer to keep, one copy of the prompt and photo is spit out inside the booth where the artist can collect it after completing the prompt.
What the artist is going to do with the photo strip is not explained, the artist doesn't speak or move except as a response to a prompt.
People will prompt the artist to say "this is stupid." People will prompt the artist say explicit phrases, or to swear incessantly. People will prompt the artist to say slurs.
And they will walk away with their prompt attributed to them with their photo and a coin they used their energy to mint into a reminder that the art is what they made of it. And their creation is documented in the hands of the artist as well. What did they put into the world? What did they decide to say when they had a chance to say anything? What were they comfortable saying before they realized that someone would quote them on it? What did they make of it, and how would they feel if their photo was attached to their prompt in a book or video or somewhere that people might see it?
How did they approach the piece? How would they approach it a second time?
Also the artist goes hog fucking wild on the prompts. They're acted out *loudly* and melodramatically with as much emotion as the artist can put into the performance.
And whenever the machine is not in motion the artist is still and vacant, but the performance of the prompt involves as much eye contact and emoting as possible.
The piece is dead and meaningless until you approach it, and as soon as you start interacting with it it should become disconcertingly alive with your intention.
Tell me your worst crafting bad habit.
And I'm not talking normal stuff like being overly ambition, or lack of planning, not finishings
Tell me the stupid stuff.

Iām glad I checked the context for the fishy post
I thought it was an analogue to that study strategy where you put lollies in between pages to motivate you to get up to that page
For every pin you put in you get a fish!
Not paying attention makes more sense
The reason Kirk is so accommodating of Spock pretending he doesnāt have emotions is because he is also pretending he doesnāt have emotions like fear or anger or lust and probably has wished taht he was a Vulcan so he could be a more perfect captain send post
This is lowkey also the reason bones is always arguing with Spock. Bones also pretends he doesnāt have (serious) emotions. Like sadness or disappointment or anything vulnerable tbh, and he sees Spock doing better at pretending. Heās always making fun of Spock being too Vulcan, but maybe he wishes he had a bit of Vulcan in him to make pretending a bit easier?
I think it's interesting (depressing) how years ago, I would be a bit more selective about what jobs I applied to, only applying to jobs that sounded like something I wouldn't mind doing if I actually got the job. Now I'm fucking applying to shit that I barely understand what the job is because what does any of it matter? They're just gonna reject or ghost me anyway, like 99% of the jobs I've already applied to have done.

Itās so shit out there, I definitely empathise. Now a lot of companies are now using the same AI systems to assess our resumes as well. So once youāve applied to one place and not even made it past the ai screening, youāve essentially already been rejected from a bunch of other jobs before youāve even applied to them. All because theyāre using the same shitty ai
These shitty ais are also of course reliably reproducing racial and similar biases so you donāt even get to be judged on your own merit

i fucking hate the āthis is the good luck post.ā Girl stop contributing to a superstitious environment with ur anecdotes thereās a million goddamn notes on it itās statistically reasonable that a bunch of people remember the good things that happen after they reblog it
this is the statistically reasonable post, reblogging it will have no effect except for putting this post on your blog
guys this post really works! I reblogged it and it really did put the post on my blog! you need to try it!
so uh I have a very important Thingā¢ coming out tomorrow apparently and it would be great if you guys would watch this space for some pretty good frogs, okay?
please read this even if you're not indian. especially if you're not indian.
you've seen the jokes. india is "dirty", indians are "everywhere", why don't they fix their own country. ok. let me tell you why, and what's happening right now while nobody's watching.
first, the history you skipped: britain ruled india for two centuries and drained it. economist utsa patnaik's research estimates around $45 trillion in today's money was taken. the india that got independence in 1947 was one of the poorest countries on earth. every "why is india like this" question starts there. you don't get to profit off a robbery and then mock the crime scene.
now, what's happening RIGHT NOW:
in may the question paper for NEET leaked. that's the national medical entrance exam. over 2.2 million students took it. cancelled. years of studying, families' savings poured into coaching, gone overnight because someone sold the paper. students died by suicide after. these were kids who wanted to be doctors.
and out of that came a protest movement. a gen z group called the cockroach janta party, started by a 30 year old named abhijeet dipke, got 22 million instagram followers within DAYS. they've been doing a sit-in at jantar mantar in delhi demanding education minister dharmendra pradhan resign.
and then there's sonam wangchuk. if you've watched 3 idiots, he's the real engineer the character was based on. built solar schools in ladakh. invented ice stupas so himalayan villages have water. spent his whole life on education. he's 59 and he's been on hunger strike for 17+ days now. reporters went to see him this week and he was too weak to talk. and the troll armies are calling him "anti national" and "foreign funded". a man starving himself for other people's children. that's the thing here, anyone who asks a question is suddenly a traitor.
it's not one incident, it's everywhere you look:
ā¢ infrastructure worth thousands of crores failing within months of the ribbon cutting. tunnels collapsing in regions where heavy rain is a guarantee, not a surprise.
ā¢ youth unemployment near 10% for ages 15 to 29, 13.6% in cities. in a country of 1.42 billion where more than half the population is young.
ā¢ only about the top 3% of indians earn above 10 lakh a year. meanwhile billionaire wealth keeps ballooning and the headlines celebrate it.
ā¢ manipur burned for over two years. an ethnic conflict, tens of thousands displaced, and the prime minister barely said the word manipur while it happened.
ā¢ journalists raided. critics' houses bulldozed. activists sitting in jail for years without trial under laws like UAPA. our press freedom ranking has cratered.
ā¢ even the petrol is a fight now, ethanol blending pushed through while drivers complain about their engines and get no straight answers.
and through all of it, the PM, who came to power on religious polarisation (americans, sound familiar?), travels abroad for photo ops and has not held one single open press conference in over a decade. not one.
what i'm asking:
if you're not indian: share this. our media mostly won't cover any of it because the big outlets are owned by the same billionaires the government serves. the only reason wangchuk's fast is getting any coverage is people refusing to look away.
if you ARE indian: speak up even if you're comfortable. especially if you're comfortable. join the protests. add to this, correct me, translate it. staying quiet is a choice when nothing in this post touches your life.
india is not "dirty". india was robbed, and it's being robbed again, from the inside this time. but it's also the country where a 59 year old will starve for strangers' kids and 22 million young people will rally behind a party literally named after cockroaches, because cockroaches survive everything.
we can still save her. but only loudly.

Has either of your parents ever accidentally called you/your siblings the wrong name? (someone else's name, like other sibling, pet, etc)
Yes, at least once
No, but I've seen it happen to someone else
No, never
I don't have pets/siblings/parents/hair
I forgot to clarify that this excludes deanaming you if you've changed your name. I specifically meant the "brain offers the wrong word" kind of accidental name mix-up.
This was prompted by me and my boyfriend discussing handedness and being able to tell apart left and right. And me, being ambidextrous, was baffled by how do people with an obligate dominant hand mix up which side is the one with their Writing Hand and which one isn't?? And my boyfriend pointed out that I go "turn left - no I mean right" so much when giving directions that I have lost my navigator privileges.
I argued that mixing up the words isn't the same thing as mixing up the directions. Like if your mom accidentally called you the dog's name doesn't mean that she literally can't tell you apart from the dog. And he looked at me like this
Because evidently not only has this never happened to him, he has never heard of this being a thing. And he was so confident in this that I had to double-check that I'm not the only person this has ever happened to.
I have four siblings. My parents have both gone at least once through the whole rooster before getting the right name
i know i just said something hilarious if my mom exasperatedly calls me my dad's name
Mine would sometimes forget and just say ā1, 2 and 3 lets goā pointing at each of us. Anybody could be any number
