Your Sixth Most Recent Emoji Is How Your Guardian Angel Feels About You

We literally just found life on another planet and everybody is just like "and?" Life on earth so wild rn we don't even care 💀💀

@yeehawthethird

worst part about the Internet is knowing that there are finally people who both match and complement your freak. the nearest one is 2,318.4 miles away and your time zones are awkward

BOTW Zelda is truly the best, and the Zelda we've always deserved, and I love her. Do you know she fought Calamity Ganon alone for literally 100 years?

I’m writing for a new fandom yippie!!!

I’m only a little bit into the third season of For All Mankind but- I’m writing for it already.

If anyone is interested in beta reading Margo / Molly fic please let me know (my dms are open 🙏)

not to sound like a weak, morally impure centrist over here, but i think online leftist communities need to be a little more accepting of the concept that most people are just. not that well informed. we live in a society that provides access to an overwhelming amount of information and yet which discourages actually diving into much beyond the surface level. Most of the people you meet out in the world are just not gonna know much about a lot of what you care about, but that's not the same as being against those things, or being unwilling to learn, or being unnamenable to those ideas. Our modern society is an unending cascade of information and misinformation and disinformation and filtering through that shit enough to actually have a solid grasp of a subject, let alone a nuanced antiestablishment political take, is a skill that takes time and effort to develop, time and effort that is in very short supply. It really bothers me when I see leftists talk about how capitalism keeps us down by taking up all our time and energy and making recovery, both physical and emotional, cost what little we can afford, and then turn around and get upset that people are politically uninformed. On some level, you gotta meet some people where they are, and have a little faith in them to be open to new ideas and information. Ignorance is not inherently intentional, and it's not the same as antipathy.

Hubble Space Telescope: Exploring the Cosmos and Making Life Better on Earth

In the 35 years since its launch aboard space shuttle Discovery, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided stunning views of galaxies millions of light years away. But the leaps in technology needed for its look into space has also provided benefits on the ground. Here are some of the technologies developed for Hubble that have improved life on Earth.

Image Sensors Find Cancer

Charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors have been used in digital photography for decades, but Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph required a far more sensitive CCD. This development resulted in improved image sensors for mammogram machines, helping doctors find and treat breast cancer.

Laser Vision Gives Insights

In preparation for a repair mission to fix Hubble’s misshapen mirror, Goddard Space Flight Center required a way to accurately measure replacement parts. This resulted in a tool to detect mirror defects, which has since been used to develop a commercial 3D imaging system and a package detection device now used by all major shipping companies.

Optimized Hospital Scheduling

A computer scientist who helped design software for scheduling Hubble’s observations adapted it to assist with scheduling medical procedures. This software helps hospitals optimize constantly changing schedules for medical imaging and keep the high pace of emergency rooms going.

Optical Filters Match Wavelengths and Paint Swatches

For Hubble’s main cameras to capture high-quality images of stars and galaxies, each of its filters had to block all but a specific range of wavelengths of light. The filters needed to capture the best data possible but also fit on one optical element. A company contracted to construct these filters used its experience on this project to create filters used in paint-matching devices for hardware stores, with multiple wavelengths evaluated by a single lens.

advicetip for making ocs. if you find urself making a dude. especially if hes a villain & especially especially if hes gonna fall into like a sexyman category like hes a dapper trickster or a mad scientist or summthing. consider changing nothing abt the concept except you make her a woman instead. and you will have a good character i feel

@mothman-the-mothman87 I didn’t even realize that you tagged me in this at first and was immediately like “haha Julia” and chose the first one

Day 11: Favorite Archives Member

Day 12: Love to Hate

Day 13: Hate to Love (yes it’s unfinished)

Skipped 14 and 15 because I had contracted and illness and wanted to sleep all day

16: Angel (it’s supreme archivist aziraphale)

Day 17: Demon (Jon as Crowley)

Day 18: Headcanon

Peep the updated Helen design

I forgot to post/didn’t have an account to post all my ink/magtober art so far so here’s all of it, good and bad and mediocre

Day 1: Dream

Day 2: Spiders

Day 3: Path (unfinished bc I was interrupted by an event I forgot about)

Day 4: Dodge (I had no clue what to do for this one it’s Martin and annabelle in a Dodge Challenger)

Day 5: skipped because I’m lazy

Day 6: Favorite avatar (this is when I discovered magtober, you will notice my design for Helen changes drastically over the course of the month. Also this is unfinished as well)

Day 7: Leitner

Day 8: Tragedy (…also unfinished I have adhd you’re not allowed to get mad at me (joking))

Day 9: Comedy

I was gonna do comedy in a Shakespeare way but then I had an idea and made a TikTok instead I’m not gonna link it though because my phone is struggling

Day 10: Favorite Statement (unfinished but I actually plan on finishing this one I swear)

Gonna make this post a two parter because my phone starts breaking down whenever I type more than 10 words

First thing you see after you zoom in is how you die

How you dying 👀
