Man, a lot of people are straight up assholes now. Like, not that there weren't assholes before, but most people at least had some shame about it. Now people have been empowered to actively and vocally be selfish.

Also people are noticeably more aggressive on the roads.

Stupid shit that was never political before has become so politically polarized. The polarization of society has been supercharged.

Not to mention the effects on kids who were in school, the economy, the supply chain, etc.

Do you think the world would be better if COVID had never happened? (excluding the fact that more people would be alive obviously)

Yes

No

"what if I've been far too kind to foes but a monster to ourselves?"

Hot DAMN this is the REALEST sentence I've ever heard in my fucking life

If you tell your parents about something you messed up, or is worried about messing up, do they sometimes tell you about times when they messed up in a similar or even worse way?

(so youd feel less worried/bad about it, or in some other way cheer you up) (even if only one does it answer yes)

(just something kinda small im really thankful for my mom for, knowing it really won't matter much at all in the long run, and that im not stupid or something for doing it wrong) (or at least not any more stupid than most people can be sometimes haha)

Think of your favorite movie. Is there a character or actor in it that you find attractive?

[inconveniently-discorporated]

Yes -- in case anyone thought their calls and letters don't matter, Cory Booker has launched a protest marathon speech on the Senate floor and is reading letters directly from his constituents. Their voices and words gave him something to share on the Senate floor directly from the American people.

I intend to call my senators tomorrow and let them know that I've heard about this, and will be sending them letters as well so THEY can speak up for their constituents, because I expect them to speak up.

Cory Booker is reading letters from his constituents and tearing up repeatedly and it’s making me cry.

i feel like we to bring back the true meaning of the Holiday. Yes, stabbing Caesar on the Ides of March is fun and good but let us remember why he was stabbed. A man declaring himself king of a republic that’s proud of having overthrown the last one and so on

So my local library is doing some sort of Shakespeare programming and I feel that I just had to share with Tumblr specifically the announcement they sent out as per the last sentence

This is why I say if you have a representative who is pro-fascist-bullshit don't just throw your hands up and say, "Well they're not going to listen to me!"

IDC. CALL THEM. Show up if you can! At the very least try to reach a human being connected with their office and make being a fascist as annoying and inconvenient as humanly possible for whomever is doing the work to make fascism happen.

Got a rare dopamine boost scrolling bluesky and seeing:

1) US politicians in deep red districts being confronted by their increasingly angry constituents.

2) Seeing the size and number of protests happening at tesla dealerships (scroll TeslaTakedown or check out Alex Winter’s feed)

3) Vermont showing up to scream at vance and ruin his ski holiday

Fanfic authors: if you abandon a work, and someone adopts and writes their version of the rest of the story, would you be upset?

HI BY THE WAY SPEAKING OF HIDDEN DETAILS, THE CARINA NEBULA (very prominent Crowley association) IS ONLY VISIBLE FROM THE ⬇️ SOUTHERN ⬇️ HEMISPHERE

(this tidbit of knowledge brought to you by "hey I wonder if I can look at this with my telescope" -- I CANNOT)

I think just about the only time I understand myself is when I'm writing.

“Well all I’m saying,” he said, “is that

Like. I can still hear the cheeky mental pause between "all I'm saying" (pause) "he said" (another pause for effect).

You know I understand why creators make podcasts for the things they make and why directors make directors cuts for stuff, because there's so much stuff people do on purpose and it's probably damn near impossible for anyone to pick up on all of it. But we just want this one little bit to say, I was here, and I did this -- and I did this on purpose.

(decided to re-read my own story tonight to feel the feelings I felt when I was writing it lol) (I Only Ever Asked Questions -- a 100k+ word mostly compliant fic that I wrote about why I thought Crowley fell)

Y'all because joy is an act of resistance and so, apparently, is doing science while being a woman...

I AM SO HAPPY. I recently just got over a couple weeks of back to back illnesses, BUT had the delightful combination of recovering just in time for Fool's Spring (the fakeout unseasonably sunny/warm days in the PNW before the final boss music of winter starts playing) (it gives us a stamina boost to get through the rest of it before real spring), AND getting my first ever telescope in.

So I set it up last night and tonight. No idea what I'm doing because all of my research means nothing until I get my hands on the thing. Last night couldn't use my 9mm lens piece for shit, but I used the 30mm to find some pretty jaw-dropping things.

TONIGHT THOUGH??? TONIGHT???? Let my 5yo stay up late. We saw everything on my list (which wasn't a LOT being an absolute beginner using my telescope in my backyard in a city without really any idea what I'm doing,,,, but still wonderful). I'm especially proud to say I got some good use out of the 9mm which last night I couldn't even focus to see ANYTHING. My list:

Pleiades ✅

Orion nebula ✅✅✅

Jupiter and moons ✅✅✅✅✅✅

JUPITER IN ENOUGH DETAIL TO SEE THE FUCKING BANDS ON THE PLANET AND HOLY SHIT IT'S A REAL FUCKING PLANET OUT IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅

BONUS OBJECTS?!

Saw Venus ✅✅ -- easy to spot, obv, bright as fuck, BUT I DID NOT KNOW that it has PHASES????????!!!!! I actually wasn't trying to look at it very closely because I was like "yeah it's gonna be a bright as fuck dot probably but let's focus on it and adjust the scope/lens piece to help me find stuff later tonight" and it was A HALF MOON SHAPE?!?!!!;;??!:_#$+(; I DIDN'T KNOW THAT????? WHY IS IT LIKE THAT?????? WHAT IS IT DOING??????? IT. HAS. PHASES. IT IS A ROCK OUT IN SPACE. I'M ON A ROCK OUT IN SPACE. WE'RE TWO ROCKS OUT IN SPACE DOING SPACE SHIT AND STUFF OUT HERE AND WHAT THE FUCK! Apparently it's one of the only planets besides Mercury that has phases?!?!!

Y'ALL I OBSERVED A THING AND LEARNED A THING I DIDN'T PREVIOUSLY KNOW ABOUT OUR SOLAR SYSTEM AND I LOVE THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND IT FEELS LIKE I SHOULD'VE KNOWN THIS ALREADY BUT I DIDN'T AND LIKE I DID REAL ACTUAL PERSONAL SCIENCE! WHAT THE FUCK!!!

And like almost by ACCIDENT -- but like accidentally on purpose, like I was TRYING TO do this but didn't expect it to actually work -- I saw ANDROMEDA ✅✅✅. Y'ALL THE GASP I GUSPED! Like, let's level set here -- it was a faint grey smudge in my lens piece. BUT IT WAS MY GREY SMUDGE, AND I KNEW THAT OUT THERE THAT GREY SMUDGE -- THAT I WAS LOOKING AT WITH MY OWN TWO HUMAN EYEBALLS (not through a screen but by way of a couple mirrors bouncing the photons DIRECTLY FROM THIS GALAXY STRAIGHT INTO MY EYEBALLS) -- WAS A WHOLE ASS ENTIRE GALAXY JUST LIKE OURS. And I FOUND it, like some kinda special rock in a great big giant lakes full of other rocks!!! Y'all I died.

And my 5yo?!?! Among the things she said tonight were: "Mom!!! This is great!!! I love you so much!!!" and "WOW, this is so cool, mom you're AMAZING!!!" and "Oh god DAMN!" (About Jupiter) (Yes same girl) -- but also these words she has NEVER BEFORE IN HER LIFE UTTERED: "Mom, I think I want to go inside and go to bed -- I'm really tired." NEVER HAS SHE EVER.

Absolutely incredible on everything all around. I have so many feelings and I don't even feel like I saw all that much yet. Saturn apparently is fantastic around my birthday later this year. I'm hoping so incredibly much that the weather cooperates for the lunar eclipse in a couple weeks, goodness I'd LOVE to get in on the show for that one. That's something super easy my daughter and I can explore together.

Anyway, FUCK THE PATRIARCHY. Fuck the current state of politics launching an assault on women, diversity, and science. Love science for us. Can't wait to explore some more and make some core lifelong memories. My back hurts like hell bc it's totally fucked up in general but it's totally worth it to see all the things.
