which song would the fandom choose to make vids with you and your f/o? 👀

the absolutely lovely @jennajaeger tagged me in this very fun ask game 💖 as someone who loves to make silly OCs to ship with my f/os, i thought i’d tweak it in an OC x Canon direction!! 🥰 

i tag @iriso-page, @heavensong, @venuss-ambassador, @femaleganondorfdragmire and @mollicutes - but everyone is invited to do this if they’d like to! 💖

Augustus St. Cloud x Quint S. Henchall - Partners in Crime by Set It Off

ah, is there a romance more palpable than that between an utter joke of a villain, and his seasoned, bloodthirsty henchperson? 👀 Partners in Crime is a great choice for these two, and for any V Bros selfshipper with a villainous fave!! i always saw Quint and Augustus developing a very ‘Jesse and James from Team Rocket’ kind of relationship: outwardly obnoxious and bullying (you can’t fix personalities like that 🙈) yet fiercely protective. it’s by no means an easy bond - after all, within 24 hours of meeting Augustus, Quint does what any of us would do and tries to kill him 😂 if they were in the show, i adore the idea of Quint, with years of experience and 12 other henches under their belt, picking up where The Monarch left off and attempting to turn Augustus into a semi-competent villain! imagine it: bringing the neck-snapping, covert-ops specialism of a highly trained professional into the absurd realm of pop culture collection feuds 😭 that’s not to say Quint is successful in coaching him...but Augustus and his uniquely petty, bitchy approach to villainy are not without their uses 😉 

Wally Darling x Cynthie Scribe - Fireflies by Owl City

oh, let’s inject a little whimsy into the world with this one - a love story between an artist and a writer 🥰

Fireflies is a song that evokes all this wonder and delight at the world...and i think that’s something Wally and Cynthie would instantly bond over 😖 Cynthie’s infectious enthusiasm charms Wally, and acts as a perfect foil to his relaxed, soft approach to life. much of their time is spent out in nature, finding fun things to look at and draw and write about - all whilst singing and giggling and occasionally letting their hands touch 💖 if Cynthie were included in the Welcome Home canon, i like to think they’d both be incredibly excited to watch the fireflies together. perhaps they creep out in the dead of night, hoping not to disturb any of their sleeping neighbours, and lie down next to each other on the soft grass banks. the blanket of the night sky, perforated with stars, shimmers above the cosy yellow flickering of the fireflies. entranced, Cynthie barely notices when Wally slips his fingers between theirs...but when they turn to look at him, they can see the fireflies’ glow reflected in his large, black eyes 🥺

'Big' Jack Horner x Aspen Branch - Fairytale by Alexander Rybak

the choice may be an obvious one, but i like it anyway!! 💖😊

Fairytale is told from the point of view of a passionate, emotionally volatile person - and what is ‘Big’ Jack Horner if not a man consumed by fairytales? 🔥 Aspen is initially only Jack’s mark: someone to capture and force the use of her magical, wound-healing voice. yet Aspen’s sweet, simple nature - so contradictory to everything Jack is and has forced to be true about himself - has Jack falling hard 😖 it’s Aspen’s consummate gentleness which leaves Jack caught between adoration and rage. he really is, ‘...in love with a fairytale even though it hurts’, because Jack can’t be in love - that’s a stupid, weak, small thing to be, a distraction from his goal of world domination. but Jack can’t deny himself: the painful twinge in his chest when he sees Aspen smile hurts more than he can bear. if he can’t beat this feeling, well then...he simply must have her 😳

that’s all for now!! let me know if you’d like to hear anymore - i have a few other choices for my other OC x Canon ships :3c

Timbuktu. Some have maybe heard the name; many have not. I'm not sure I can keep up with daily postings as recommended if participating in Black August, but I at least wanted to provide some space, on the first of August, to highlight one of the first global centers of knowledge and scholarship. Remember: Black people have been "booksmart" for centuries. Today I celebrate Timbuktu, and display my Pan-Africanism, with a dance session starting at 4:45 pm. Sync up or leave links, below in the comments, showing what you learned about this great West African city. Sunshine and laughter. - Reza Rites *** "Timbuktu’s wealth was made evident to the world with the pilgrimage of Malian Emperor Mansa Musa to Mecca in 1324. Upon his return to Mali, Mansa Musa brought a number of Arab immigrants including the renowned architect, Ishaq El Teudjin, who built its legendary mosque, Djinguereber. The mosque served as a Friday prayer temple for thousands of inhabitants and its library and Sankore University attracted scholars from throughout the Muslim world. With an estimated enrollment of twenty five thousand students, Timbuktu had become the headquarters of Islamic intellectual development in Africa. Timbuktu’s greatest contribution to Islam and world civilization was its scholarship. By the 14th Century important books were written and copied in Timbuktu."

New Post has been published on https://techcrunchapp.com/astronomers-see-possible-hints-of-life-in-venuss-clouds-national-world-news/

Astronomers see possible hints of life in Venus's clouds | National/World News

Astronomers have found a potential sign of life high in the atmosphere of neighboring Venus: hints there may be bizarre microbes living in the sulfuric acid-laden clouds of the hothouse planet.

Two telescopes in Hawaii and Chile spotted in the thick Venusian clouds the chemical signature of phosphine, a noxious gas that on Earth is only associated with life, according to a study in Monday’s journal Nature Astronomy.

Several outside experts — and the study authors themselves — agreed this is tantalizing but said it is far from the first proof of life on another planet. They said it doesn’t satisfy the “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” standard established by the late Carl Sagan, who speculated about the possibility of life in the clouds of Venus in 1967.

“It’s not a smoking gun,” said study co-author David Clements, an Imperial College of London astrophysicist. “It’s not even gunshot residue on the hands of your prime suspect, but there is a distinct whiff of cordite in the air which may be suggesting something.”

As astronomers plan for searches for life on planets outside our solar system, a major method is to look for chemical signatures that can only be made by biological processes, called biosignatures. After three astronomers met in a bar in Hawaii, they decided to look that way at the closest planet to Earth: Venus. They searched for phosphine, which is three hydrogen atoms and a phosphorous atom.

Searching for phosphine

On Earth, there are only two ways phosphine can be formed, study authors said. One is in an industrial process. (The gas was produced for use as chemical warfare agent in World War I.) The other way is as part of some kind of poorly understood function in animals and microbes. Some scientists consider it a waste product, others don’t.

Phosphine is found in “ooze at the bottom of ponds, the guts of some creatures like badgers and perhaps most unpleasantly associated with piles of penguin guano,” Clements said.

Study co-author Sara Seager, an MIT planetary scientist, said researchers “exhaustively went through every possibility and ruled all of them out: volcanoes, lightning strikes, small meteorites falling into the atmosphere. … Not a single process we looked at could produce phosphine in high enough quantities to explain our team’s findings.”

That leaves life.

The astronomers hypothesize a scenario for how life could exist on the inhospitable planet where temperatures on the surface are around 800 degrees (425 degrees Celsius) with no water.

“Venus is hell. Venus is kind of Earth’s evil twin,” Clements said. “Clearly something has gone wrong, very wrong, with Venus. It’s the victim of a runaway greenhouse effect.”

But that’s on the surface.

Seager said all the action may be 30 miles above ground in the thick carbon-dioxide layer cloud deck, where it’s about room temperature or slightly warmer. It contains droplets with tiny amounts of water but mostly sulfuric acid that is a billion times more acidic than what’s found on Earth.

The phosphine could be coming from some kind of microbes, probably single-cell ones, inside those sulfuric acid droplets, living their entire lives in the 10-mile-deep clouds, Seager and Clements said. When the droplets fall, the potential life probably dries out and could then get picked up in another drop and reanimate, they said.

Looking for proof of life

Life is definitely a possibility, but more proof is needed, several outside scientists said.

Cornell University astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger said the idea of this being the signature of biology at work is exciting, but she said we don’t know enough about Venus to say life is the only explanation for the phosphine.

“I’m not skeptical, I’m hesitant,” said Justin Filiberto, a planetary geochemist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston who specializes in Venus and Mars and isn’t part of the study team.

Filiberto said the levels of phosphine found might be explained away by volcanoes. He said recent studies that were not taken into account in this latest research suggest that Venus may have far more active volcanoes than originally thought. But Clements said that explanation would make sense only if Venus were at least 200 times as volcanically active as Earth.

David Grinspoon, a Washington-based astrobiologist at the Planetary Science Institute who wrote a 1997 book suggesting Venus could harbor life, said the finding “almost seems too good to be true.”

“I’m excited, but I’m also cautious,” Grinspoon said. “We found an encouraging sign that demands we follow up.”

NASA hasn’t sent anything to Venus since 1989, though Russia, Europe and Japan have dispatched probes. The U.S. space agency is considering two possible Venus missions. One of them, called DAVINCI+, would go into the Venutian atmosphere as early as 2026.

Clements said his head tells him “it’s probably a 10% chance that it’s life,” but his heart “obviously wants it to be much bigger because it would be so exciting.”

Serena Williams refutes trauma incredulities on eve of Australian Open title defence

The world No1 rendered short shrift to suggestions that fitness pertains may have hampered her formulations in Melbourne, claiming she is training at 120, 130%

Getting a straight reaction out of Serena Williams can often be like having a conference with a talking clock. Metronomically, she will recycle her practised responses to difficult questions and the one that holds this Australian Open transfixed on the eve of the opening exchanges is a familiar one: is the best musician in the world properly fit?

Asked to comment on photographs that seemed to show the traumata that cut short her to get involved in the most recent Hopman Cup had not mended, she feigned the sort of callousnes to pending destiny that would not have searched out of neighbourhood in Blackadder IV. No, Im a little tired today, she said. Ive been working so difficult and doing so much work, so perhaps I had a bad attitude out there.

Or perhaps she had yet to squelch the hurting of inflammation that restricted her action in her losing semi-final against Roberta Vinci at Flushing Meadows in September( her last-place Tour appearance) and struck again in Perth this month.

We will know soon enough. Surely, her antagonist during the first round, the talented but erratic Italian Camila Giorgi, will request her as many on-court questions as it takes to determine the truth. Meanwhile, Williams relied on ridicule to fend off further inquests. Was she able to learn at 100%?

No, Im at 120, 130 % right now. This week[ there] has been a lot of work. I actually wanted to have an easy era today. But to me, in my thought, easy is just two hours of really intense working out.[ The knee] actually is really fine. I dont have any rednes any more. Its exactly that I simply necessary some time to get over that little hump.

She held: Ive had a really good preparation. I didnt have the parallel play-act that Ive wanted to have but, after playing for so many years on Tour, I should be able to, you are familiar with, focus on that.

The number of people in the area who accepted that were probably in single toes. As for the assignment facing her in the first week, “the worlds” No1 said: I always seem to have a tough reap, so its fine. Doesnt matter who I play. At some spot you have to play everyone. Thats how it always works out.

Certainly that is true. To acquire seven coincides over a fortnight, sooner or later the winner is going to run into some excellence flak. But Williams resorted to the delusional again when asked what she thought of Giorgi. I dont genuinely ever look at the evoke, she said, so I would appreciate it if you didnt mention it. Thank you.

This wasnt a press conference, it was an gathering, and the queen is ever more impatient with her themes. It was the kind of curmudgeonly act that had seemed a circumstance of the past with Williams as she worked her style towards more tennis history in 2015, falling merely short of a sweep of all four majors. Now she is back in the town where she has already won six durations. If she successfully represents her name, she will reap alongside Steffi Graf with 22 slam claims to result the field in the Open era. But even record does not seem to have tranquilize her mood.

I feel fine, frankly, she said when asked if all of this was weighing on her knowledge. I dont have anything to prove. I have nothing to lose. I can only gain.

Williams was more expansive when a questioner diplomatically swopped tacking and asked her to talk about one of her favourite topics, her sister Venus, whose first-up enterprise is against the British No1 Johanna Konta. Venuss comeback from her vanquishing illness to be seeded in the top eight of a slam for the first time in five years old has been one of the games most uplifting stories.

Serena concurred. Shes played really well. Its really good for her to be back so high-pitched. Ive “ve been there” the whole trip. Ive assured her cultivate extra hard. Ive checked her right next to me just improve, learn, qualify. Now Im finally starting to see some of the results of what shes been training for.

Then came her final negation: the docket grand slam she came so tantalisingly close to shutting last year was not remotely in her guess. Nor would it obsess her this year.

I dont think about it. I never thought about it, really. It was in front of me last year. But it was better wasnt there, so I just think about each tournament as it comes, each participate. Everyone here wants to win the tournament I do possibly more than anyone, so well see.

And with that she was gone, growling and dangerous. Injured or not, it will take some excellent tennis to disclaim her a seventh Australian title.

A lil poem, a lil dance, but a quick note first: I am super grateful for the families and educators gathering to grapple with what education should look like in a world covered in COVID-19. I am grateful for the young people, Black leaders and formal and informal multicultural coalitions of advocates, activists and the enraged marching, making signs, and scaring our elected officials into actually considering change. And I am grateful for everyone putting their lives on the line daily, knowing that showing up for work could mean encountering an illness affecting many or a militarized police officer, team and institutional representative excited about the excuse to use excessive force just for traffic stops and other NON-CRIMINAL incidents. The struggle is real, but so is the need to take space. That strategy, though - dedicating time to self-care or taking a break - is often contingent on the type of privilege that only some have. Still, I would like to offer this medicine: look up at the sky, from time to time. Thats's right; look long and dreamily and even consider saying the following types of messages aloud: 1) I see you blue sky and gray undertones; 2) I'm counting you and your buddies cloud-friend, and you are number five; 3) Hello horizon, I respect you but know you are not the end. My poem below demonstrates a day I took in the sky, similarly, and you can too. Or you can join me at 1:00 pm (EST) to dance Dance DANCE. Sunshine and laughter. - Reza Rites Purple is one of those colors Hues Shades Swatches Orange Pink Red Gray And purple Always purple ...
