transmasc senstive nerd boy accompanied on quest by unpleasant and mean redhead girl transformed into a Creature against her will, who initially intends to betray him but changes her mind because she begins to care. they never explicitly say they’re into each other, but it’s still pretty obvious that the vibes are there. at the end they are tragically separated, like they literally end up in different dimensions. in spinoff comics made years after the original media, they finally are shown to have feelings for each other. their stories have autumnal aesthetics. she is taller than he is. they’re all bisexual

This is especially frustrating because the only reason we know the wind speed is because NOAA's Hurricane Hunters literally fly into the hurricane and collect vital data. They fly in and out of the storm over and over in 8 hour shifts.

This brave team flies two identical Lockheed P3s called Kermit and Miss Piggy.

You can see the dangling ornaments in the videos to determine which plane they are in.

And when I say they fly into the hurricane, I mean they fly *into* the hurricane.

Here they are in the eye of Milton.

And here they are in the eye of Irma.

As you may notice, this flight was in Kermit.

So the next time you see live data about a hurricane's wind speed and pressure, just remember how that was collected and don't be a giant turd about it.

And please vote because conservatives want to kill NOAA.

Everyday i think about “You’re a good man Jean Moreau”

I was trying to find one of those kindness quotes but I couldn’t, so please take these that reminded me of Jean:

[tuxedodan]

being in college is either "wow this is great this is so much better than high school I love it here" or "I need to jump off of the roof of bleepus hall right fucking now"

oh yes, they both, oh yes, they both reached for...

...I had a guy come in today asking about how to get his kids library cards. I told him. He asked me how hard it would be for them to get them, and I said that all it took was their presence and his government ID.

He told me about how nice the system was here, where it was so easy to get a card; he said that there was a beautiful public library in Beijing that was top of the line and everything, but that the only way to access it was if you were a high ranking government official or a top professor or something. Instead, our library "serves the reader." His kids will be able to take chapter books home at no cost. He'll even be able to get books in Chinese here so that his native language skills don't atrophy.

I didn't even really know what to say, so I told him how to ask us to buy books for him that we don't already have so that he can still read them at no extra cost. I don't know how to shore up what it must feel like to know that there are books out there you can't read; I've always grown up with a good library nearby. It reminded me of working in my old library, though, where families who spoke Spanish were startled to find out we took any government ID with a formal address in town— even foreign IDs— so that their kids could get access to all of our titles in all the languages we offered.

Ah. Anyway, I hope you check out a library book with this thought in mind. I checked out the first volume of YJ98 today with that thought in mind. I didn't have to pay anything. I put it on hold, and there it was.

[lesbian-disaster-tm]

Wait, wait, wait. You're library BUYS books someone wants? Like you just tell them a title...and then they fucking BUY it!?!?

Where has this system been my whole life?

[faeriekit]

Well, it's been at the library, presumably.

[stele3]

That’s always been a thing, babes, even at the rundown library in my childhood hometown. Had no funding but by god they tracked down the book I wanted and bought it for me.

[rowan-reads]

Interlibrary loans, too. My library is technically one branch within my county network of 15 library locations, all of which share one giant catalog, and I can put in a request to have a book at any of the branch locations sent to my own local branch for pickup. BUT. My county library network also partners with 13 MORE municipal libraries within the county, and I can use a special search engine to find and request books from all of THOSE partner libraries’ catalogs as well.

That’s 28 libraries’ worth of books I can request and have sent to my local library—about a seven minute drive from my house—to pick up. For free.

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

[scribe-cas]

Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"

[dangerouslyfurrydragon]

You deserve someone who is 100% sure about you.

The end.

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid

#i would describe my gender as not exactly ‘idk dude i just work here’ #more like…..when someone assumes you work somewhere that you don’t #but you know how to help them so you do it anyway #my gender is wearing a red shirt at a target

These are the best tags

[cobblepottery]

A portion of people in the notes are like ‘but that makes you trans. That’s called being agender’ and another portion of people are going ‘this is how the majority of cis ppl feel and it’s NOT agender’ and personally I feel like both of them are missing the point here. Yes a lot of people identify as agender because of this feeling. Yes a lot of people with this same feeling still identify as cis. These are not mutually exclusive experiences and it doesn’t mean the agender people are secretly cis or the cis people are secretly agender. It just means they have very similar experiences of gender that they choose to conceptualize and label differently, and neither of them are mistaken or wrong to do so.
