Jen hates that prick Rob Thomas @thief-puppy21 - Tumblr Blog

Hello there! Here's a little intro post about me:

I am 40 with zero patience for fuckshit and a fast block finger

I am a writer. Catch me on AO3 (thiefpuppy21). I have a job that I work near 70 hrs per week so the writing is S L O W. Be patient with me I'm from the 1900s

I am a real person with real politics and interests. I am a Black woman. Regardless of my politics, I was born Black, I live Black, and Imma die Black. Your need to classify me is decidedly not my problem

ACAB.

This is a multi-fandom place. I have ADHD and I hyperfixate. I recommend filters if you don't want to see something. I tag religiously.

I was here before the clearing out of s*x blogs and am simply scandalized by how prudish and puritanical y'all have gotten. I am not. You've been warned.

I am a romance reader and writer. Avidly. Proudly. Happily.

My inbox is always open! Drop in!

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing

Happy Birthday you funky little robot!

Curiosity celebrates her 14th Martian birthday this week and she’s still trucking along in Gale Crater where she’s sampling Martian soil to learn about the geology and climate and teach us all about the ancient lakes that used to cover our nearest neighbor!

Thank you to everyone who keeps this post queued up so I never forget her special day. I love how much love this post gets every year.

If you would like to see what Tumblr’s favourite Rover has been up to recently you can read about her latest mission updates here and you can see her live position in Gale Crater on this map here. (You can also see the great photos she takes!)

Happy Curiosity Day. Go do something curious!
