With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.
There's more info at this link. Gosh I'm excited about this.
NASA is elevating its digital platforms for the benefit of all by revamping its flagship and science websites, adding its first on-demand st

my brother started calling our cat "doobie brother" which he then lengthened to "dubious brother" and has since morphed into "brother dubious" like he's some sort of fucked up little monk

‘children should not be exposed to literature about bigotry, violence, etc because they’re Not Prepared For It’ is like one of the most privileged opinions you can possibly have. i hate to tell you this but a lot of children face bigotry and violence in their daily lives! for children of colour and children who are victims of abuse and children in poverty, these things are Actually Happening to them In Real Life! what you are advocating for when you say children should be shielded from these things in media is for the white children with stable loving nuclear families to be shielded from acknowledging the lived realities of their peers!
I saw an experimental standup show by a comedian (his name is Corey White tho he’s not active anymore) who talked extensively about the neglect he experienced in his family of origin and then the sexual abuse and violence he went through in the foster system etc, and at the end he was talking about getting a scholarship to attend a private school. He found The Metamorphosis by chance on the shelves in the library when he was like 15? And when he read it, he saw this character, Gregor, and how he was rejected totally by his family for something that wasn’t at all his fault, and yet his love for them was constant and unconditional.
And being a fifteen year old boy who’d been brutalized his whole life by the people who were meant to care for him, for no reason at all, Corey broke down and cried in the middle of the library. And obviously this stuck with him because he was given this national platform (an hour-long stand up special) and he finished it with this memory. That story and the message he took from it stayed with him long into adulthood, he said suddenly he didn’t feel totally alone in his experience as an abused child. Who would deny a young person that kind of catharsis??
People have even gotten to the point where they’re saying that children can’t experience stories about death, as if death is something “too grim” and “too upsetting” for a child to possibly understand. But children are exposed to death all the time. Children have grandparents who die, parents who die, siblings who die, friends who die, and they know what it’s like go go through that grief. Overall, to act like childhood (which people paint with a very broad brush, sometimes they mean six-year-olds and sometimes they mean middle schoolers?) is a period of complete and total innocence and that children never experience any suffering, any grief, any bigotry, is really deliberately ignorant. People are talking about a fictional, idealized, archetypal Childhood and fictional, idealized, archetypal Children who are nothing but innocence have never experienced any kind of suffering
Caitlyn Doughty, of Ask A Mortician, wrote in one of her books about how her first encounter with death came from watching a child fall off one of the elevated aisleways at the mall, when she (Caitlyn) was eight. And how much it fucked her up, to have that be her first experience with death, and how so much of the driving force of her crusade to have a healthier and more open understanding about death comes from knowing, viscerally, the difference being equipped to process it makes.
And I think the “children aren’t prepared for it” argument is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because people are running on this idea that if you just shield people from something as long as possible they’ll magically develop the maturity to deal with it and that’s not how it fucking works. You’re just leaving them deliberately unprepared and playing chicken with the universe, which doesn’t play chicken.
Also, and I cannot stress this enough: stories are the preparation. Ideally, people explore and experience difficult things in concept before they encounter them in reality. But even in retrospect, having the means to process something that’s already happened to you has major benefits on its long-term effect on you, and there’s much comfort to be had in realizing that you’re not alone.
This is also part of why it’s important to let kids self-pace their development and their exploration– it’s not that information can never be traumatizing to kids, it’s that what kids need and when they need it *varies.*
And why it’s important to teach them HOW to self-pace (e.g, skills like assessing their feelings about content, stepping away from upsetting content, seeking out support for processing content, etc.)

star wars headcanon time:
- so mon mothma (based on the ep3 deleted scenes) knew Padme pretty well. and consequently TOTALLY clocked that she was pregnant. she knew. a bunch of senators knew. they never said anything because they respected her privacy.
- however padme was good at keeping her Secret Affairs under wraps so mon mothma had no idea who the father was. she never guessed it might be anakin bcos everyone knows Jedi don’t do stuff like that.
- padme dies suddenly & mysteriously. shortly thereafter bail organa and his wife announce that they’ve adopted a baby girl.
- at the time mon mothma does not think much of this BUT later as leia gets older she begins to resemble padme more and more in both looks & personality and mon mothma is like. hmmm.
- so she draws the natural conclusion.
- padme was having an affair with bail organa! and when she died in childbirth bail quietly ‘adopted’ the baby to avoid the scandal.
- mon mothma elects not to say anything about this because it’s not really her business and also the past is the past and padme has been. dead for several years at this point and she doesn’t feel like opening that wound back up.
- instead she just, takes leia under her wing.
- anyway! later when a kid w the last name Skywalker who says his dad was a jedi shows up to join the rebellion she’s like. hm.
- she didn’t know anakin well but at the very least she knew OF him and they like, probably met
- so she figures anakin must have fathered a child while he was travelling the galaxy during the clone wars. she never really liked anakin so she’s just like ‘hm guess he was a deadbeat dad. can’t say I’m surprised.’
- she is not aware however that Anakin became Darth Vader so she doesn’t really feel the need to say anything to luke about this. as far as she’s aware luke already knows the truth about his parentage. at most she might be like ‘hey I knew your dad a bit, he was a good jedi & a war hero’.
- so as far as mon mothma is concerned, anakin skywalker’s son and padme amidala’s daughter are both fighting for the rebellion. the fact that they’re the same age is just kind of a coincidence. tatooine uses a different calendar from most planets so she never notices that they literally have the same birthday.
- anyway later Leia is like ‘so guess what! luke is my long-lost brother. isn’t that wild?’
- and mon mothma is like
………………….’PADME WAS BANGING ANAKIN SKYWALKER????’
(leia: not what I expected you to take from that but. yeah I guess she was.)
Mon Mothma: Leia I’m so sorry for that outburst, it was completely inappropriate. Anakin Skywalker was a good jedi and my personal dislike for him doesn’t make him any less of a hero-
Leia: he was Darth Vader.
Mon Mothma: ……….
Mon Mothma: MOTHERFUCKER-
Leia: yeah I’m not too happy about it either
#star wars becomes exponentially more of a comedy the second you start thinking about how completely nuts it is for side characters

If you are taking the car to Chicago, can you even call yourself a feminist. There are Women on that train who want to have gay sex with you but can't because you are taking a fucking car to Chicago
Right now there is a very buff Butch woman all alone in the Cafe car and she could be having steamy gay sex with you and be moving into your apartment if you were just willing to take the train to Chicago
I'm busy trying to get more lesbians to ride the train instead of taking their Subarus to Chicago

I feel like practicing any skill would be way more fun if I could have a lil level increase thing that pops up in front of me every time I do good like in Skyrim
“Push ups increased to level 5”
“Writing dialogue increased to level 37”
“Coping mechanisms (healthy) increased to level 18”
