Jay, xe/they - mostly I have thoughts about Hannibal and star trek. sometimes other things

Oh, your boyfriend? Yeah, sorry, he got put into a mobile game ad and now he’s experiencing situations. Yeah. He just froze to death because he tried to cover a broken window with toilet paper. Sorry.

How the media depicts the Apollo 11 mission:

Actual quotes from the Apollo 11 mission:

also according to michael collins when the three of them were discussing what neil armstrong should say when he first stepped on the moon, collins suggested armstrong say “Oh, my God, what is that thing?”  and then scream and cut out his mic.

Everyone forgets Michael Collins and it’s fucking tragic.

in this vein i honestly think the justice league would never have to deal with a single mystical or magical threat if half of their magicians weren't english. if john constantine were irish or jason blood was a scot then klarion the witch boy would have been blasted to smithereens back in 1974

I just ran the numbers so for anyone else who needs them:

  • As a whole, Vulcan characters whose age is known tend to be ~1.5x the age of their actors.
  • Vulcan main and recurring characters tend to be 2–3x the age of their actors; 2.35x is probably a good rule of thumb.
  • These rules should only be applied when the character is over 35; up to 35, Vulcan characters tend to age at 1.0–1.5x the speed of their actors, before slowing down drastically the literal moment they hit 35.

I don't even know how to feel about these

Unlike billionaires, pickpockets often recognize they have a lot in common with the potential victims of their crime.

This reminds me of Rhys Nicholson the comedian who got mugged and the mugger said "I promise this isn't a hate crime, my sister is a lesbian im pro gay rights"

A short list of things I think everyone should try or do at least once in their life that will make you feel more alive. Not all of these are applicable to every person, but it’s a summary:

  • Take a dance class of any style with a semi-serious instructor for at least 4 classes worth
  • Write a work of fiction, of *any* length and *any* quality
  • Learn a least a bit of a language that isn’t your native one. You don’t need to become anywhere near fluent, but try and get a bit beyond yes, no, and where’s the bathroom. If you’re from a country where most people are bilingual already, that doesn’t count! Get bits of a language with which you are truly unfamiliar.
  • In the same vein, make peace with subtitles and start consuming music, TV and movies from cultures that aren’t your own. If your country imports large amounts of media from a specific other culture or cultures (American movies in foreign markets, for example) that also doesn’t count! Get some feelers out to begin to take in content from a culture that you don’t already have a lot of knowledge of.
  • Try at least one less common/less “exercisey” and more fun type of physical exercise such as roller blading or roller or ice skating, gymnastics, trampoline, rock climbing, aerial silks, pole dancing, surfing, etc
  • Learn a hobby or craft that produces a physical finished product and produce a single, complete object - regardless of quality - that you can hold in your hands and say that you made.
  • Look up a how it’s made video or YouTube video on how an item that’s interesting or relevant to you is made
  • Give one type of thing - media, hobby, sport, whatever - that you’ve never been interested in or never tried because of some preconceived perception an honest shot and see if your perception was correct. Sometimes it won’t be, sometimes it will be, but it’s valuable to know.
  • Rearrange the furniture in a room in your home

It’s about NOVELTY, babey! Get some enrichment into your enclosure!
