I really love Stratt and Grace's relationship and deeply dislike when people outright ship them because i feel like what they'd have wouldn't be platonic or romantic love, it would just be having a person that understands you like nobody else. They would never, under ANY circumstances, fall in love!!! STOP!!!! Ryland is AROACE and, in my eyes, Stratt kisses WOMEN. STOP IT. Even if this weren't the case, I'd dislike the idea of them falling in romantic love. The care they'd have for eachother (whether in canon or in another life where the literal fate of the planet didn't cause so much tension between them) is much deeper than. In canon, they both have the same sense of responsibility, and the same obligation to persevere for everyone's sake. And they do. For everyone's sake. In a more normal alternate universe, they'd still have that same sense of care, and deep, genuine relationship with eachother. They'd be eachother's person to go to whenever they need input on absolutely anything, and they'd go to cafés together, and they'd laugh together. Probably even sleep on the same couch. Or drink from the same cup. But it wouldn't be romantic. I don't like that people can't fathom having this close, intimate relationship with someone else that doesn't involve sexual or romantic feelings. Or even PLATONIC feelings. It can just be plain Love for someone else. Love doesn't always have to be dumbed down into a category. You can just care about someone or something with your whole soul.

I just heard Project Hail Mary's genre coined as "Cosmic Hope" instead of cosmic horror, and I'm getting emotional all over again. I need to sit down. God do I love this story to bits.

Who the fuck does Mark Watney think he is, calling "Life on Mars" a "godawful '70's" song???

[brainbleedo]

The crew crying as they become the furthest people from earth, the naming of the Integrity crater and that bright spot Carroll after Reid's wife...

I love humanity, I love how we go to the moon and we name that bright spot after someone loved. We name that crater after the little craft that carried them so far.

Something about us being so small, barely making a dent in the universe, but still going with love.

[denalis]

hey btw if ur transphobic don’t interact with my blog. we support trans people here

[silima]

it's always funny to me when ppl act like it's somehow incestuous for characters who consider each other found family/chosen family/whatever u wanna call the trope to date each other, and it's funny for many reasons, but most specifically it's funny because irl when you meet a person and get really attached and decide that you want to be family with them, there's a very popular legally recognized way of doing that & it's called marriage

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Marriage promotes incest because then you end up having sex with a family member

PSA to fic readers, it is so hard to freak a fic writer out with your comments. we are just as crazy about the fic as you are.

tell me you love it. tell me it made you slam your laptop shut. tell me you brought it up at your college lecture about kink. key smash in all caps. quote the passage that made you think. i promise, we’ll love it.

we spend hours thinking about it, writing it, editing it. there is no such thing as over enthusiasm when you’re talking about our fics to us. we are sooooo weird about them, i assure you. you are just matching my freak. the freak bar is already set so high. feel no anxiety about enjoying something and letting the creator know.

[closet-keys]

is anyone else feeling fucking crazy?

sorry—is anyone else feeling “significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning”

I love how much of the rosekiller subfandom is just under the unified agreement that barty knows nothing about romance and just got really really lucky with pulling Evan.

hes such a fucking loser i hate him (affectionate)

New study: food banks divert a whopping 1.8 million metric tons of carbon emissions a year

Supporting your local food bank doesn’t just help your community — it helps the planet.

From the article:

Their metrics showed that — in addition to providing over 1.7 billion meals to 40 million people in need globally — food banks also diverted an estimated 1.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. By intercepting unspoiled food destined for the landfill, and redistributing food from local farms and wholesale produce markets, the 2023 report offered evidence that community-led solutions to addressing global hunger can also help protect the globe itself.  “Nearly a third of the world’s food is lost or wasted at the post-harvest, retail, and consumer levels, never reaching the people who need it,” the GFN team wrote in the report. “Food loss and waste proves costly for producers, takes up space in landfills, and emits harmful greenhouse gases, intensifying climate change.”

Reading this was one of those "oh duh!" moments for me. Despite being aware that food systems and food waste are major sources of emissions, I had mentally placed food banks in a "addressing non environmental problems" category. But of course, food banks make our food system more efficient and less wasteful by making the most out of the food we have already produced.

This is just another example of so many of our problems being connected. Donating to a food bank doesn't just address food insecurity, it's also a powerful force for reducing food waste and carbon emissions.
