Conservatives: I hate Muslim people. Look at what that Muslim person did at that Orlando LGBT bar.

LGBT people: So, does that mean you care about LGBT people?

Conservatives: No! Gay people are pedophiles, and transgender women are just men who want to invade women’s restrooms and harass women! WE NEED TO PROTECT WOMEN!

Women: So, does that mean you care about women?

Conservatives: Shut up, feminazi! Women in the United States are not oppressed! If you want to talk about women’s oppression, you should be focusing on how women in other countries are treated!

Refugees: So, does that mean you care about people from other countries?

Conservatives: Stay out of our country! Why should we care about refugees when we have people here who need help?

Homeless People: So, does that mean you care about people who need help?

Conservatives: No! Get a job, freeloader!

Soulmates aren’t rare, they aren’t, you’ll meet a thousand soulmates, just as you’ll live a thousand lives.

North Stars though, they are. By chance you’ll meet someone who encompass the way home. Someone who is home. And knowing them is like being found with never knowing you were lost.

And you will love them. God, you will love them as they are because they are yours. They exist beneath your skin, in your veins, to your bones. They were written in some far off past life.

There is no force that is more than they are.

You are born half in love with them, and to have them, to be theirs, is like nothing else. Nothing would dare to be.

Jupiter Has a New Moon. And We Put It There.

Jupiter has a new moon! And its name is Juno: A spacecraft that traveled for five years and 1.7 billion km is now in orbit around Jupiter.

At 03:53 UTC on July 5th, 2016 (or 11:53 p.m. Eastern US time on July 4th), Jupiter got a new moon. And its name is Juno.

At that time, the main engine of the spacecraft cut off, having burned for 35 minutes and two seconds. When it did, Juno was on a looping, highly elliptical 53.5-day orbit, the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter since Galileo did in 1995.

The engine burn was tense. 35 minutes is a long time for a spacecraft burn; after 20 minutes it had slowed Juno enough to be in orbit, but not the correct one. It had to continue for another 15 minutes to put the spacecraft on the correct orbit. It worked essentially perfectly. The burn time was off by just one second. That will have no real effect on the orbit.

It was fun to see the folks at the control room(s) in jubilation when the signal came back! A lot of my friends on Twitter erupted in applause as well. Even Google got in on the celebrations with a new doodle:

But Juno wasn’t out the woods just yet. After Jupiter orbit insertion, it had to turn to face the Sun so it could power up its trio of huge 10-meter long solar panels, aim its antenna at Earth, and begin sending telemetry (the recorded data onboard). It was nearly an hour later before word was given that Juno had indeed made the maneuver.

We now have a working spacecraft orbiting the mightiest planet in the solar system.

Her father writes:

”My daughters been fighting for her life since she was struck by a car while playing in our front yard with her brother. A speeding car in our neighborhood apparently lost control and ran onto our lawn, striking my baby before she, her, brother nor I had a chance to react. Shes been fighting over 2 weeks and her prognosis isn’t positive. She still has not yet regained full consciousness. We are asking anyone who can help us to please do so. The expenses are astronomical and we have a $2500.00 deductible to satisfy before our health insurance even begins to cover their portion. This unforeseen tragedy has affected us greatly. As a single father of an 11 y/o son and 5 y/o daughter I am doing all I know to do to help my baby get the treatment she needs. i have not been able to find their mother to inform her and ask her assistance as she cut off contact when i was awarded custody of our babies. Billing statements have already started to flood my mailbox and between those and the time I’ve missed at work to be by her side, our family us in crisis. I don’t know where else to turn. Please help if you can and pray my baby will beat the odds and make a recovery. Every little bit counts. Thank you.”
