woah!!

Apparently today is Loving Day, named after Richard and Milford Loving, the interracial couple whose lawsuit against the state of Virginia resulted in interracial marriage becoming legal in the United States. And so this day was made as a holiday for interracial relationships. I think that's very cool and deserves a tumblr post. Happy Loving Day to everyone in interracial relationships!

baseball fights are better than hockey fights because everyone expects a fight in hockey. baseball fights are some real hater shit

every now n then i think about how native americans as human beings just dont exist in like 99% of mainstream media. in movies or tv shows or books or video games or you know even in porn like we just arent people. when theres a native character theyre like a wild west indian. like truly to ppl we all died back in the 1900s.

Wait theres an eridian lore bible??? Where???

@starrose17 here you go!

okay. fine. i have a solution that will make no one happy. let's make pluto a planet. if we launch one tungsten cube per day for 200 years precisely aimed at pluto's surface it will become massive enough to gravitationally clear its orbit of other kuiper belt objects. this will be completely useless and extremely expensive as well as potentially dangerous. and it will destroy the heart

see, this is again exactly the type of thinking i was roasting. you can't even name the kuiper belt objects or the features that make them unique or interesting for study. you don't know any of the things we have learned following this change in nomenclature. you can't accept empiricism or adapt to change. you're trying to use a "punk" label imagining yourself postured in some kind of resistance to authority when what you're really doing is clinging to the way things were when you were a child, which changed twenty years ago, and invoking a ridiculous and pointless threat of nuclear bombs to defend it, aligning yourself precisely with the actions of the state. it's sad

NO! Where’s the non-metals and metaloids?!

oxygen, carbon, sulfur, xenon, iodine, neon, etc etc.

ooo okay i see the confusion. you're listing off a bunch of metals there

…. You’re breaking my chemistry nerd brain. Hhhuuuhhhh???

im an astrophysicist

but but, science is science?!

and different fields of science have different conventions and definitions for their unique contexts
