About this blog:

It’s not for anything in particular. It’s for things I like, find interesting, or feel like needs to be perceived.

If you follow for one thing, you’ll find it diverges into MANY THINGS, maybe you’ll like that. Maybe you won’t. That’s cool!

I haven’t historically tagged much other than specific tags for boyfriend and people in our sphere. I’m probably going to tag more serious things with that if you want to filter it.

I frequently forget to tag conversational swearing. I will often tag if asked!

Social issues is one of my special interests.

Under the read more is a list of things I’m interested in:

Anonymous asked:

So some TERF got dropped by her doctor after she harassed medical staff via phone and messages about a trans flag that they have at their front desk. She was going on about how they should take it down and how they're supporting misogynistic "bepenised males" (A real quote, you can find the message on Twitter I think). Now transphones are going on about how she should sue because she's a cancer patient that got her "lifesaving treatment" dropped because of the evil transes.

Like.... Fuck around and find out! That's what you get for being a bigot! Maybe she should have kept her rancid mouth shut and focused on her own problems instead of crying about how medical staff are decent to trans people and aren't weird transphobic freaks like her. It's crazy how she just HAD to address something as small and irrelevant as that. Personally, when I go to a store or service, especially medical ones, I like to pay attention at how the workers treat me and how good of a job they do, not look around for flags and pronoun pins to bitch about.

This is such a cis white woman behavior. They really have nothing better to do huh.

I saw that! And yeah that medical centre was right to do it. They even offered to help her find a new place so it’s hardly like they left her stranded.

I’d support it in the case of homophobia, racism, anything like that too. If you can’t shut the fuck up / keep your shitty views to yourself, don’t cry when you get consequences from it. You don’t get a free pass to be an abusive piece of shit just because a) you’re a woman and b) you have cancer.

I looked it up so might as well add the link

I’ve legit heard about someone’s grandma being warned she’d have to find another chemo treatment center if she kept being mean to the other patients.

Turns out being an asshole isn’t a protected class.

Her equating trans people to Nazis is ironic considering the Nazis hated trans people so much they burned every bit of trans-related research there was in Germany. Transphobes will always be closer to Nazis than most of us are for that very reason.

fucks me up that by total coincidence the sun and moon's size difference is exactly matched to their difference in distance from us, thus making our beautiful total solar eclipses where you can see the silver threads of the sun's corona possible because the moon just covers the sun completely

The stars (literally) aligned just right for this experience to be possible. It's likely that aliens don't have this

The moon is also absolutely gargantuan by moon standards. It isn't the largest moon in the solar system, but it is BY FAR the largest in comparison with its planet. Ganymede is the largest satellite of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system. Its diameter is only about 3.8% of Jupiter's. Titan's radius is 4.4% of Saturn's. Callisto and Io are the next largest in the neighborhood, with 3.4% and 2.6% the diameter of Jupiter respectively.

Our moon is number 5. It is smaller in direct comparison to the above moons. The diameter of the moon is 3475 km. That is a full 27% of the diameter of the Earth. More than a quarter. That's ridiculous. It's unheard of. The universe is large enough that the word unique probably doesn't mean a lot, but this might be about as close as you get.

This has had a huge impact on our planet. Other things aliens might not have are significant tides. One of Mars's dumpy little potatoes wouldn't be able to move oceans the way our moon does.

Our moon has also stabilized our axis to a massive degree. Without her up there our axis would wobble all over the place and our climate would be far more chaotic. Aliens might not be quite so lucky.

I guess what I am really trying to say is that the moon is extremely cool. I like the moon.

Just want to add that the reason we have such a large moon is because a whole planet crashed into proto-Earth. Theia (the planet) and Earth got so superheated by this collision that their component cores fused and the impact jettisoned a lot of material into space. That massive amount of jettisoned material became our moon. So Earth and the moon have very similar composition. This does not seem to be a common method of lunar formation.

what if the answer to the fermi paradox is that life cant exist without a moon like luna

habbadax

I got a serious beef with the Fermi paradox. There is no Fermi paradox. There stopped being a Fermi paradox once the first radio telescopes went up, and we began to get a true sense of the sheer scale of the universe.

Space is big, empty, and loud. Sunspots can cause enough interference to affect global communications. We’re not even loud enough to talk over our own sun. On our own planet. We can barely communicate with Voyager, and we know exactly where it is and what its signal sounds like.

The Fermi paradox is like doubting the existence of Belfast, because you stood on a windy New York beach shouting towards it and didn’t get an answer.

So this was the unanswered messages in my ask box a couple of days ago:

98,672 messagesALT

and this is the unanswered messages in my ask box today,

103,710 messagesALT

and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has said such nice things about the season, and I'm sorry to everyone who had emotions they weren't expecting, and I'm impressed that so many of you have theories and don't plan to answer, validate or really even comment on any of them, but mostly I'm just sorry because I probably won't read whatever you've sent, not because I don't want to but because if I was doing nothing but reading Tumblr asks as a full time job I still wouldn't catch up with the thousands of asks coming in.

I'm glad you care.
