Jack : for the last time, they're called "off-world missions" not "stupid mental health walks"

Daniel : I don't see a difference

Ronon: Don’t worry, I’ve got a few knives up my sleeve.

Rodney: I think you mean cards.

Teyla: He did not.

Ronon, pulling out knives: I did not.

After seeing @twilightofthe incorrect TCW posts via a quote generator I decided to get in on the fun! :)

And yes, at first I included the surnames but then I realized what I did. Out of them, only the crayon one could be considered OOC but I was so pleased to see a wild The Secret Life of Dolls reference that I had to include it.

Image One-

Rodney McKay: Alright, listen up you little shits. Rodney McKay: Not you Carson Beckett. You’re an angel and we’re thrilled you’re here.

Image Two-

Carson: I made this fire bracelet for you.

Rodney: You know, I’m not really a jewelry person.

Carson: You don’t have to wear…

Rodney: No, I’m gonna wear it forever. Back off.

Image Three-

Rodney, holding a kettle: Coffee or tea?

Carson: Tea.

Rodney: Wrong. It’s coffee.

Image Four-

Carson: We have a problem.

Rodney: No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot who keeps making them.

Image Five-

Rodney: Here is my wall of inspirational people.

Carson: Is that a picture of you?

Rodney: Yes, I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself.

Image Six-

Carson: Rodney, no.

Rodney: Rodney, yes.

Image Seven-

Rodney: How would you like your coffee?

Carson: As dark and as bitter as my soul.

Rodney, shouting to someone behind the counter: I need one vanilla latte with extra cream and sugar!

Image Eight-

Rodney: You are, of course, wondering why it is I have brought you here tonight.

Carson: Actually, Rodney, after all these years I just sort of go with it.

Image Nine-

Rodney: You have Crayons?

Carson: Yes, I have-

Rodney: You’re- how old are you?

Carson: YES I AM AN ADULT AND I GAVE CRAYONS, I HAVE A BOX OF EMERGENCY CRAYONS IN THE CABINET UNDER THE TV BECAUSE EVERYBODY NEEDS CRAYONS SOMETIMES, OKAY? EVERYBODY NEEDS CRAYONS.

Image Ten-

Rodney: You might not know this, Carson, but I am a flawed person.

Carson: I do know that.

Lorne: We're outgunned. Time to run, sir.

McKay: I concur, but if we leave the brown dwarf, they will see us. If we go deeper, it could destroy the ship.

Sheppard: Good thinking, McKay. We need to go deeper into the brown dwarf.

McKay: That is not what I suggested.

New map of space precisely measures nearly 400,000 nearby galaxies

10/19/23

By Lauren Biron

The Siena Galaxy Atlas will be a tool for research into how galaxies form and evolve, gravitational waves, dark matter and the structure of our universe.

Mapping the night sky is essential for understanding our universe. Both researchers and amateur astronomers can now access a new atlas with detailed information on more than 380,000 galaxies: the Siena Galaxy Atlas. The collection, which provides precise measurements of the locations, shapes and sizes of large nearby galaxies, promises to be a boon to future astronomical inquiry and is freely accessible online for all to use. The research was published in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement.

The Siena Galaxy Atlas compiles data from three surveys completed between 2014 and 2017 known as the DESI Legacy Surveys. These observations were carried out to identify galaxy targets for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, an international project managed by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Data were collected at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory and Kitt Peak National Observatory, both programs of the National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab, and the University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory.

“The light from large, nearby galaxies can confuse our view of the distant universe, which we need to measure to understand and explain dark energy—the mystery force that is accelerating the expansion of our universe,” says David Schlegel, a researcher at Berkeley Lab and the co-lead of one of the DESI Legacy Surveys. “So one goal with the atlas was to catalog, model, and—where possible—subtract the light of these nearby galaxies from our DESI observations, and it’s been very successful. In making this atlas, we also got a detailed view of nearby galaxies, which is useful in other ways.”

The surveys captured images in optical and infrared wavelengths to chart a total area of 20,000 square degrees—nearly half of the night sky, making the SGA among the largest galaxy surveys. Besides the sheer number of objects recorded, the data in the SGA also achieves a new level of accuracy and is the first such resource to provide data on the galaxies’ light profiles.

“Nearby large galaxies are important because we can study them in more detail than any other galaxies in the universe; they are our cosmic neighbors,” says John Moustakas, a professor of physics at Siena College. “Not only are they strikingly beautiful, they hold the key to understanding how galaxies form and evolve, including our very own Milky Way galaxy.”

The SGA builds on several centuries of efforts to chart the night skies. The iconic Catalogue des Nébuleuses et des Amas d’Étoiles (Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters), published in 1774 by French astronomer Charles Messier, was a major milestone, as was the New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars, published in 1888 by John Louis Emil Dreyer. More recently, in 1991, astronomers assembled the Third Reference Catalog of Bright Galaxies (RC3).

Several other valuable galaxy atlases have been published over the past two decades, but most of them draw from the photographic-plate measurements in the RC3, or are missing significant numbers of galaxies. Since the SGA uses digital images captured with highly sensitive instruments, it represents a substantial improvement in both data quality and completeness.

“Previous galaxy compilations have been plagued by incorrect positions, sizes and shapes of galaxies, and also contained entries which were not galaxies but stars or artifacts,” says Arjun Dey, a NOIRLab astronomer and co-lead of a DESI Legacy Survey. “The SGA cleans all this up for a large part of the sky. It also provides the best brightness measurements for galaxies, something we have not reliably had before for a sample of this size.”

This versatile resource will drive progress in numerous branches of astronomy and astrophysics by helping scientists find the best galaxy samples for targeted observation. For example, the SGA will enhance research into how patterns of star formation vary across different galaxies, the physical processes underlying the diverse array of morphologies that galaxies display, and how the distribution of galaxies is related to how dark matter is spread across the universe. By acting as a map, the SGA will also help astronomers pinpoint the sources of transient signals like gravitational waves and understand the events that give rise to them.

Ronon: I wasn’t injured. I was lightly stabbed.

Elizabeth: I’m sorry. You were stabbed??!!!?!!!!?

Ronon: Lightly(!) stabbed.

the character everyone gets wrong

14. that one thing you see in fics all the time

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

Everyone is wrong about Eärendil. He didn't fuck off sailing to escape his wife and kids, he did it to try and save his country. Fall in a ditch. Now, for a character you may have actually heard of, everyone is wrong about Ronon Dex. This includes me and the writers. All of us. Deeply incorrect. 14. Fluffy kidnap fam where Elrond and Elros hate their birth parents. Again, I say to you--fall in a ditch. Alt: lack of acknowledgement that Teyla is just as bonkers as everyone else. This has gotten exponentially better in the last few years, but early SGA fic was rough for this. Unhinged Teylabeth rights. 25. "The D&D movie should have had a shot where it was the cast around a D&D table" Consider: you are wrong. Let me have indulgent fantasy! Thank you for the ask!

It annoys me how some h*llcheers, when accused of homophobia, say they can't be homophobic because they're gay/bi. You very much can be, internalized as well as lateral aggression. Gay people can be biphobic, same gender attracted women can be homophobic towards sga men, and vice versa.

It sucks to be a guy and engaging in an m/m ship because m/m shippers are accused of all being straight women who fetishise gay men (which is something h*llcheers have said about steddies). Yes, some are and it sucks, but a lot, if not most, are queer men and women. Also, in my experience most guys I've come across in m/m shipping spaces have been gay/bi transmascs (like me) and since "fetishistic straight women" we're often called by transphobic gays, I can't trust people who say that.

Not to mention how much it hurts when people say "why don't you just ship canon m/m couples instead?" Because there isn't a lot of shows, that aren't "gay shows" (pose, heartstopper, young royals), that have main characters who are queer men, and that's not their entire personality, much less for trans men or bi/pan men.

I'm glad will is canonically gay, but with the way it's presented in the show I'm sure that some straight viewers don't get it yet, and why can't we have more than him and robin? And let's be real, will is a much "safer" character to "make" queer than steve or eddie; character's that I'm sure more straight men are projecting themselves on than there are who project themselves on will. Imagine if a character that was "meant for" straight people, came out as gay or bi? It's not gonna happen, especially if that character is a man, because straight men's sexuality and masculinity are so intertwined and so, so fragile. So please, let us have fun. Let us make up headcanons for these characters that we love, because that's all we're ever gonna have.

Even though both parties in h*llcheer are dead and the possibility of them being canon is non existant, it's still less non existant than the possibility of steddie becoming canon, and would be met with zero hostility from the general audience, compared to steddie. We know why this is, and we also know why they can so easily demonize and make out all steddie shippers as villains, while burying any evidence of foul play on their own side.

This was long, sorry, but I needed to rant and I don't feel like being attracting #them to my blog.

Don't ever say sorry, I'm here for everybody who have the need to vent or rant🥹

Sorry but it's so stupid saying "I'm bi so I can't be homophobic" for the reasons you already listed.

Anyway you shouldn't listen to those kind of hellcheers, some of them don't even respect Grace, we can't expect to be treated with kindness when they see steddie as something that gets in between their ship.

Block them, filter their tag and even if you're tempted, don't go looking for their post to check what they're saying about steddies because it can be hurtful and can ruin your fun.

Instead, look for what makes you happy! HC, art, fanfiction, incorrect quotes (these are my favorite btw) etc.

I realize that in my blog we talk a lot about these toxic people and this is the reason why I proceed to reblog a lot of steddie/steve/eddie/joe/jamie/Joe K./other media content; like this I can also share something that we enjoy with people that check my blog to see what I answer, and might be upset by some of the asks.
