It... captures nearly the eldritch horror that IS the overconfident Canada goose.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

alagaisia

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!

kedreeva

I scheduled this in 2025 to give you all a week to make Moon Day Monday preparations! I think I will order a little rocket cake or bake some moon phase cookies!

It's coming, cousins. ...This could be as big as March 15th if we made it that way...

things that I believe in my HEART are on the Beatles' message to Earth (Project Hail Mary)

taumoeba (obviously)

instructions on how to use taumoeba (obviously)

50+ hrs of unedited footage of Grace fucking up a bunch of stuff in the ship

so much info about Eridian language

1700+ hrs of unedited footage of Grace and Rocky fucking up a bunch of shit in the ship

Cannot emphasize how much info on the eridian sentence structure there is here

a weirdass knit sweater pattern that takes people weeks to realize is for Rocky

literally hundreds of pages of Grace just describing Eridian linguistic history which like honestly isn't even his field why should we even listen to this guy- (hes the only one to ever fucking met an intelligent alien Dave. we'll take him at his word)

Why the Goldilocks Zone is for Idiots Part 2: Biological Diversity all across the Petrova Line (subtitled "We haven't found them yet BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY DONT FUDHING EXIST-")

what are essentially just those reaction videos "Alien watches Legally Blonde for the first time" "Alien gives thoughts on movie Cats (2019)" "You'll never believe what this Alien thinks of the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox"

Grace's modified cardigan charts because someone was asking for them on his Ravelry and he never actually got around to posting them

(people have already fully recreated this cardigan just months after his launch. but they appreciate it)

very respective, kind eulogies for everyone who died in this mission (Grace AND Rocky's crew)

a lace shawl pattern inspired by the petrova line with a beaded fringe. knitters everywhere weep in despair because those instructions are gOD AWFUL, the man had 0 (zero) test knitters AND THERES NO PICTURES FUCK

Rocky make Grace cringe compilation statement

Grace's final goodbye to Earth ig

bickering once again. armando has a lot to deal with ,,,,

I enjoy that the basis of their friendship is that they can talk shit about and to each other instead of this reverential "oh you're so wise, advanced alien."

#project hail mary

I love fanart, and I love that moment in fandom when a character crosses over in a way that the artists all seem to agree, even in their different styles, that that character is going to look just 3 degrees off enough from the actor to split off into their own visual identity. I watched it happen with BTTF, POTC, TNG, Red Dwarf, and now PHM.

Dude those little rocks are older than you. They know curse words you've never conjugated.

I know this is from Australia but when I first saw the words “Victorian man” all I could think of was this:

cockyhorror

To be fair imagine you just arrived in 2018 from Victorian England and discovered Take On Me, what are you supposed to do, not blast it loud enough for your family to hear it all the way back in 1876?

When you have nothing better to do on a space ship than listen to some gossip.

The book explains how Rocky easily learns English, so I kinda like the idea that he could potentially understand some animals, like whales.

I can't believe people in the early 00s were telling me "girls don't wear suits" when the people's princess herself was routinely rocking outfits like this...
