Good News, Everyone!

how is everyone not wailing and shouting in the streets everytime a new james webb telescope image comes out how are people not immediately rent asunder by the terrifying beauty of space with every new release

Gif illustration I made for Suomen Kustannusyhdistys to promote to teachers so they’d get better published books and e-books for schools.

Ps. Tumblr could you increase the size limitations for GIFs? Maybe from 2MB to 5MB? Would help so so much. Thanks!

Awesome women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) fields!

buzz aldrin looks like he’s about to tie trump to a rocket and launch him off into space

Do it, buzz

Now that’s a facial journey

Some of my favorites:

Its like hes going through the 5 stages of grief but he keeps flip flopping between bargaining and anger

2017 mood.

I think this one is my favourite

I normally don’t reblog things like this but honestly this is one of a kind and buzz is fantastic

God bless

So I’m not really a self-promote-y kinda tumblr, but my first book just came out today and I am so hyped my toes might fall off at any minute. So, if you have a second, here’s the basic gist of it:

‘This is what happens when a poem and a dirty joke meet, love each other very much, and decide to have a baby. This collection of cruel & unusual love poetry focuses on a variety of different loves and love types- everything from Romeo and Juliet, to Cats and Mice. Jam-packed with dark and sexual humour, this book is sure to leave you with something to think about and have a chuckle at next date night.’

The synopsis leaves out that you’ll also probably like it if you’re very very single and cynical.

Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.

We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.

We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]

This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?

we’re almost ¾ of the way there!! c’mon guys, every bit counts!

will it ever stop

fucking signal boost

IF YOU ARE NOT SIGNAL BOOSTING THIS YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.

IF THE U.S. FALLS TO THIS IT WILL OPEN OTHER DANGEROUS DOORS INTERNATIONALLY.

Start a civil war against the US government.

Signal boost for my us followers

I try to keep the things I reblog as blog/mun-centric as possible, but this is something I just can’t let slide.

I’ve been following this cause since last year.  I’ve signed petitions, I’ve called representatives, I’ve been to protests, the whole nine yards.

This right here?  This is not a joke.  This is seriously happening, guys.

Remember the Wikipedia shutdown?  That was to protest this right here.  If you haven’t taken action against this yet, frankly, what is wrong with you?  If this doesn’t get stopped, we’re going to lose the thing that brings us all together unless we shell out huge sums of cash to these corrupt bastards.

Do not just sit there and keep browsing.

Do not scroll past this.

Fight.

You can join the movement here and to any of you struggling out there just know that: It Is Going To Be Okay

I actually can’t wait to get mine, this is such a wonderful concept💕

This post made me choke up and get misty eyed. I have made 7 attempts on my own life starting at the age of 11.

It does get better. It is going to be okay.

Honestly, some people underestimate just how much a small statement can help someone.

Immediately had to buy this. On my way home from work there are a few houses with signs that say “you are worth it” and “don’t give up” and honestly it means so much.

Star Wars Items of the Month

Scientists invented fabric that makes electricity from motion and sunlight. To create the fabric, researchers at Georgia Tech wove together solar cell fibers with materials that generate power from movement. It could be used in “tents, curtains, or wearable garments,” meaning we’d virtually never be without power. Source

Y'all are fucking idiots. Clean energy will NEVER be enough to replace the energy we have now. We’d have to tear down DOZENS of forests just to fit enough windmills and solar panels to get even a QUARTER (probably less, tbh) of the energy we can produce now.

Yeah, sure, when they’ve already calculated that a few square miles of panels in the empty ass Arizona desert could power the whole nation. But ok, fracking and the diminishing petroleum supply is worlds better.

Nevermind that windmills are often most efficient off the coast. There they take up no land, impact no trees, don’t pollute the water, and are conveniently located where winds are often strongest anyway.

And solar panels can literally be built into roofs of buildings and in empty areas like deserts. The sun strikes the Earth with the same amount of energy in an hour that our civilization uses in a year.

But yeah, it would be impossible for us to ever have enough energy from clean sources.

Durr hurr technology is bad and I would rather light shit on fire than have clean energy

I can also testify to the Arizona desert being empty ass. And the California desert. And the Nevada desert. 

also…no forests were cleared to make space for Denmark’s windmills and yet they regularly produce so much power that it covers almost all of the country’s power needs. Oh, and then there’s the times when the windmills generate 140% of Denmark’s power needs. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/jul/10/denmark-wind-windfarm-power-exceed-electricity-demand

Friendly reminder that oil pipelines are a scam.

The fact that anyone can believe a limited amount of dinosaur oil is more plentiful and efficient than moving air or fucking sunlight is proof that entire populations can be completely brainwashed.

Thank you Russell Brand

Two posts? One day? Am I dying or descending back to hell? Both?

….Yeah, probably both…

Funny how when they were literally given a bookful of evidence to contrast their beliefs, they literally reversed it. 

Green, who lost her parents young, was raised by her aunt and uncle. While still at school, her aunt died from cancer, and three months later her uncle was diagnosed with cancer, too. Green went on to earn her degree in physics at Alabama A&M University, being crowned Homecoming Queen while she was at it, before going on full scholarship to University of Alabama in Birmingham to earn her Masters and Ph.D. There Green would become the first to work out how to deliver nanoparticles into cancer cells exclusively, so that a laser could be used to remove them, and then successfully carry out her treatment on living animals. 

source

her studies thus far are only on head and neck cancers, but her theory is this treatment platform would work on all types of cancers. But needs $$$$ to keep doing research.

It seems the issue is how to target the cancer cells and in her head and neck cancer tests, she had success in mice by utilizing fda approved immunotherepy antibodies to deliver nano particles to mark the tumor. Then she could proceed to blast the shit out of cancer with fuckin lasers.

she was ready or prepared when opportunity arose

I’m so proud of her. I wish more young black women would go into science.

#BLACKGIRLMAGIC 

Yes!!!!! If she really does cure cancer, watch her name & face disappear behind some white man.

Don’t let it happen! She deserves all the credit.
