That’s not our sun…

it’s really easy to build up this idea in your head that it’s good and noble and worthy of you to be willing to jump on any grenade and sacrifice your own comfort and happiness for someone else’s. but like. when you make that your whole internal identity, it’s both obvious to other people and kind of icky to anyone who isn’t seeking to shamelessly exploit you.

when someone takes an unhealthy pride in how little they value themself, it’s hard to feel like you can safely and honestly interact with them without being used as a tool for self-harm

Also the gouache painting at the bottom is like three inches and it was impossible to paint Rocky’s tools

Sound definitely needs to be on

“So here’s your–here’s our hotel room. The door to the bathroom is clear, so you enter the bathroom, and everything’s normal, you look at yourself, and everyone who’s in the hallway can see you. And over here’s the shower, it’s relatively private. You enter the shower, and like wash yourself– *breaks down laughing* Well okay okay, you decide to wash your hands, or sit down on the toilet and– *another fit of laughter* Fine, fine, it’s actually all okay because you grab this and you…uh, and you’re like ‘I want some privacy’”, and you close–you close the curtain, and then you close this curtain– *laughs* And you close that curtain too, and now you want to sit on the toilet and you’re like ‘Okay everything’s closed, you can’t see in", and so you sit down on the toilet– *intense laughter*“

this is really resonating with the subjects

Artemis II 2026, NASA - Moon and crescent Earth. Being there faaar from the humans just for a very tiny, smally while and missing the spaceship back by one tiny, smally minute, oopsy.

This is why we can never let local news die. Commitment to the bit as an art form must survive

Like oh yeah no it's not that I didn't notice. I've just been ignoring it. Yknow. Which somehow feels worse and stupider than if I really didn't know any better

And when you point this out to allistic people, either they don't believe you, do not care, or do not try to understand.

Of all the crimes she committed in during the project, I think that’s the one she feels like she truly deserves to be imprisoned for.

Not doing that is basic safety protocol for high stakes missions. WTF. Stratt must have been so mad at herself for not specifying that was never to happen.

That being said, yes Stratt would absolutely feel responsible for this, and she would be right. She was in charge.

You mentioning Shapiro maybe ending up pregnant in the tags reminded me of a weird thing I wondered about: were the crew members rendered sterile before they were supposed to board? If it was a mixed crew, then hypothetically people could have ended up hooking up in space, which could have resulted in someone conceiving a baby. How do you deal with that?

For Ilyukhina I don't think it was ever brought up. I guess they were just... relying on her not getting involved with the other two during the mission.

What do you think actors do before making it big in show business?

I was like damn these tags are too real until I remembered sw can also be used as an acronym for star wars

i really love this video it’s a poem to me
