Jupiter’s moon, Callisto.

is no one going to explain what all the lights are

they’re impact craters! callisto is one of the most heavily cratered object in the solar system, and as far as my very basic research has just gone, the light parts are essentially iced over impact craters

so, essentially, we’re looking at something with a very frosty/icy surface. they’re bright because they reflect the sun!

600-Year-Old Buddha Statue Temporarily Emerges from the Waters, Reminding Locals of a Forgotten Past

The head of a large, centuries old Buddha statue in China emerged from the waters when workers were repairing a reservoir gate. The statue was carved into a cliff at the confluence of two rivers about 600 years ago, in a bid to invoke Buddha to protect people navigating the rapids. At the feet of the statue, divers found a temple foundation and explored an ancient township that was inundated due to the creation of the reservoir.

Shoutout to younger people in fandom:

  • It’s okay to enjoy “problematic” fiction.
  • It’s okay to draw fanart and write fanfiction that appeals to you, and you alone.
  • You’re allowed to ship whatever you want. Let me repeat this for emphasis: YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SHIP WHATEVER YOU WANT PERIOD.
  • Your own enjoyment and entertainment are valid  reasons to write, draw, or consume something. 
  • If this enjoyment takes the form of sexual gratification, that’s also a valid reason to writer, draw, or consume something.
  • Fiction does not have to be morally pure. Fiction allows us to explore things that we wouldn’t want to experience in real life, things like violence, sexual violence, drug abuse, sexual taboos, or kinks: all kinds of weird or disturbingt things, and that’s okay.
  • No, the narrative does not have to condemn these things explicitly.
  • You don’t owe other fans an explanation or apology for the things you enjoy in fiction 
  • If someone asks you to reveal personal information, it’s okay to tell them to fuck off. 
  • There’s no such thing as a fandom police. Whoever claims to have the authority to tell you what is or isn’t acceptable for you to enjoy, is just arrogating that right. Their strategy only works if you let them have this power, so don’t. 
  • It’s up to each person individually to create a “safe space” for themselves.
  • Other people’s mental health is not your responsibilty.
  • Not wanting to hear about anyone’s personal trauma does not make you a bad person.

PS, I know you two. And if I’m gone, I know what you could become. Because I know who you really are. A junky who solves crimes to get high. And the doctor who never came home from the war. Will you listen to me? Who you really are, it doesn’t matter. It’s all about the legend. The stories, the adventures. There is a last refuge for the desperate, the unloved, the persecuted. There is a final court of appeal for everyone. When life gets too strange, too impossible, too frightening, there is always one last hope.When all else fails, there are two men sitting arguing in a scruffy flat like they’ve always been there, and they always will. The best and wisest men I have ever known. My Baker Street boys. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.

If the characters on screen (that is several different characters and often more than once per episode) bring it up and explicitly point it out, why aren’t we allowed?

When she was younger her mother always told her that heartbeats are supposed to sound like the beating of a drum, the cadence of a poem, the sound of tender lips and soft kisses. When she was younger her father always told her that heartbeats are supposed to sound like shattering glass, dashingly broken, claw marks on delicate flesh. Why, if that’s the case, is it that with him her heartbeats sound like the thrumming rhythm of waves that break against the cliffs, flooding the shores to wash everything away?

You began smouldering ash falling from wine dark lips. The architecture of your bones was built by conquerors. You kissed the Devil and his painted face left your hands stained black. And so this is how it ends; you hold fire in your hand and let it burn you to the ground.
