I love the wording of this. any science news, especially relating to space (and webb) automatically sound like poetry to me and then when they're also written like that... oh how beautiful.

hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river) 

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.

Isn't Delawere the name of that one girl in the song that goes "Hey there, Delawere"? She's from NYC or something.

Pausing here to point out that op is “dear-AO3″ and now I’m wondering if Delaware fanfic would be categorized as RSF (real state fic) or AU (alternate unitedstates)

Everyone on this post:

what have i created

I usually only reblog older posts, but this definitely deserves to be in every tumblr hall of fame

this post has only existed for 8 days. 

This is fantastic because it goes great with my theory that Delaware only exists for tax purposes. Like, all the states really only exists for Tax Purposes, but Delaware is particularly fake because back in 2012 I got lost in the Alleged Delaware Area looking trying to get to a family reunion, but every time I pulled over for directions, I would ask what the hell state I was in now, and I went through Mayland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey AND Virginia and I never fucking found Delaware but I did eventually find the Family Reunion and earned the repsepct of my then-prospective- Great-Grandmother-In-Law by saving her favorite grandchildren from a furious oceangoing horse so I’m convinced that not only is the state a purely legal construct, they didn’t even dedicate any landmass to it, or it’s a gov’t blackzone where the carnivorous horses live.

queer is a brick that sometimes you throw and sometimes you use to build something new. queer is a teenage boy crying on the curb, tossed out of his family the same way they toss out rotten food, and queer is the new family he forges with a fierceness he didn't know he had. queer is a girl in love with her best friend and a guy who finally learned the perfect technique for glitter eyeliner and a someone who is standing under a blue clear sky for the first time after decades in cloaked darkness. queer is trying out one name and then another until you feel like yourself. queer is criminal and queer is a sickness. queer is a riot. queer is a quilt so we never forget. queer is meeting eyes with a stranger and seeing them the same way they are seeing you. queer is a jacket that says just drop my body on the steps of the f.d.a. queer is a flag, a pin, a sticker. queer is to be hated and to choose love anyway. queer is accusation and queer is exaltation. queer is the sigh of relief to finally be free. queer is a raunchy joke and a quiet confession and a beloved embrace. queer is to wander without a destination, just looking to see what can be found. queer is resistance. queer is joy. queer is a rainbow, not stripes but colors blending into each other so we’re all the same, even when we’re different. and yeah, maybe queer is a slur, but it’s also a home with a mat on on the front porch that says, you are welcome here.

From the director of the union’s railroad department:

Of course, “working quietly with union leadership to find a solution that gets the workers everything they want without requiring them to strike” isn’t an ideal solution for people who value the act of striking itself over achieving the goals of a strike, but social media’s obsession with Performance Politics and their preference for an Exciting Nothing over a Boring But Good Something is nothing new

while we are here, Ukrainian forces have liberated the territories near Krasnohorivka that had been under russian occupation since 2014!

this is what everyone should talk about. this is fucking history.

Out of all chapters in Machiavelli’s The Prince, I did not expect the one that says: “DO NOT RELY ON MERCENARIES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES” to be still relevant in our day and age, but I guess here we are?

Having your own personal blog is honestly quite a nice change of pace compared to Reddit. I could put a funny GIF of George Bush getting hit by a shoe on here and the worse case scenario is that no one even notices.

You put that on a big subreddit and you get your eyes gouged out and a heap of political discourse underneath your post.

YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE??? I’M A LIL GECKO BOY

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Perfect use of this site op. 10000 out of 10. Welcome to Tumblr. I hope you enjoy it 💖

Hey from a fellow former redditor learning this site, you should probably also add your age in your bio. Most people on here expect at least that much personal info bc it’s up to them to block minors if they post NSFW stuff or just don’t want to interact with minors on here

we absolutely do not expect you to share your name, age, mental illnesses or flashing weak points, that's a radical vulnerability psyop that a small minority of the site users fell for because they don't know any gay people in real life

this is probably the best take I’ve heard so far on the debate of people being told that they aren’t having enough ‘compassion’ for billionaires making bad decisions and paying the obvious consequences for it

Rare photos from trans history: Olympic runner and Zdeněk Koubek styles Cinda Glenn’s hair, 1936. Koubek was one of the first trans men to gain international fame after he transitioned in 1935.

this is inspiring weirdly complex emotions in me. like, it’s the fucking 1930s. I can hear the mid-atlantic newsreel voice. the fact that it plays coy with why he knows so much about women’s hairstyles, but like, as a funny surprise, not as shock and horror. the fact that it never deadnames him or uses incorrect pronouns. the fact that he looks like Mickey Rooney. idk it’s just making me feel feelings.

ID: Black and white newspaper photo of a blond man smiling as he uses his fingers to touch up the hairstyle of an amused brunette woman who tilts her head back for easier access. The man wears a medium-toned blazer with light colored slacks, and the woman wears an elegant light-colored dress. The image is titled, “This is how I used to do it!” and captioned, “An expert at women’s coiffures although not a hairdresser, Zdenek Koubek proves himself as he combs the locks of Cinda Glenn, New York night club beauty. Koubek knows all about coiffures from experience, since they were of concern to him when he was the foremost girl athlete of Czechoslovakia, prior to a sex-change.”

I feel like they should just print this out and hand it to any reporter dumb enough to ask about recovering bodies

my favorite part about this mspaint is how succinctly it depicts the Titan. it was just a fucking tube with titanium endcaps.

do you want to see a submersible that's capable of reaching the titanic and has been in operation since 1964? yes this has been in operation for almost 60 years:

look at how this thing was designed with safety in mind:

the part where the crew sits is entirely made out of titanium, and it's a sphere. why? because a sphere has less weak points than a cylinder. it's more or less uniformly strong in all directions

if you look at other deep sea subs that support a crew and you'll notice a pattern. while their superstructure that is not pressurized may vary, the pressurized compartments are spherical. take a look at this pretty comprehensive list of manned deep-sea submersibles and click through to some that are on the list of the deepest dives

I referenced the Alvin first because it was famously used to explore the titanic but the list goes much deeper (remember the titanic is at about 4000m depth)

Here's a cutaway of the Challenger. Notice anything?

the titanium sphere used to house the crew?

now look at the Titan:

its an accident waiting to happen.

the Alvin designed 60 years ago is still diving to the depths beyond the titanic, and has completed around FIVE THOUSAND DIVES because it was designed with safety in mind

the Titan got crushed into a billionaire smoothie maker because the CEO who commissioned it designed it to carry as many paying customers as possible for the lowest cost, and by his own mantra of "safety gets in the way of innovation"

you can't innovate your way around physics! the physics that led to the design of the Alvin in 1964 are the same physics that made gogurt out of you and your passengers mr stockton rush. no amount of free market entrepreneurial spirit is gonna make your tube go super saiyan at 4000m and prevent the mathematical certainty of physics from taking your life

I just think ME2 would’ve been better if Legion had to wear a trench coat disguise like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

If i knew how to mod this would be the first thing i’d make.
