So I took the garbage out... At 1:34 AM, and I noticed that the whole backyard was lit up. When I looked to see if any of the lights were on outside, I didn't see anything. So I looked up, and I saw the full Moon, and all the stars, in a perfectly clear sky. Not a single cloud in sight. And I had a moment of, "This is the single, most beautiful site I will ever see." This picture doesn't do it any justice, but I just wanted to document it in some way. Most people don't think of anything when they look at the sky. But me? Like a nerd, I wonder about all the possibilities that are out there. What kind of life is out there, living their own lives, unaffected by humans, and unaware of how big our shared universe really is. But then I get sad when I realize I'll never live to see any of it. And then I get even sadder when I realize that I care about something that will never affect my life in any real way and is actually pointless for me to waste my time thinking about it. But, oh well... We still have cats here on Earth, so life's not all that bad I guess... But I really need to go to sleep.
My Instagram is all my cat now.

this is absolutely remarkable
"Thugs" are nothing more than wanna-be gangsters.
Honestly, Senator Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman President, as exemplifying the establishment. It’s really quite amusing to me.
Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton is one of the most privileged women in the world. She has been a Senator, Secretary of State, and First Lady. She is very nearly the definition of an establishment politician. Being a woman does not change that.
I am furious that she would twist this legitimate criticism of not only supporting but representing the status quo into an accusation of sexism against Bernie Sanders.
If I was undecided in this race, this is what would be the final straw for me against Clinton. This was low.

Oscar nominees Best Animated Feature 2014
Earlier today this article was brought to my attention, in which it becomes clear that some of the Academy voters have little to no respect for the animation industry. They openly admit not having watched the nominated films and/or claiming that animated films are for kids, so they didn’t vote. Even the ones shown in the article that did vote barely motivated their choice.
I find this extremely disrespectful of the animators who poured their heart and soul into making these movies, only to have their work be pushed aside without a second glance by the judges of one of the most prominent and well known film awards out there. As an aspiring animator, I am deeply insulted.
Please note that in this post I am expressing no opinion on whether Frozen should have won or not. I think it’s a wonderful film, just as all the other nominees. I am simply saying that we deserve better.
What they did is disrespectful to the creators of every single one of these films, even Frozen. By barely motivating their choice, they make it look like they voted for Frozen simply because of Disney’s status in the industry. Because it’s Disney, and it made a lot of money, so it had to be at least somewhat good. To me it seems like some of the voters just defaulted to voting for the Disney film, and nobody likes to win by default.
Don’t get me wrong, I too have been guilty of loving Disney simply because it’s Disney, but there is so much more beautiful animation out there and it deserves to be taken into consideration. And if Frozen won, it should have won because the majority of the voters thought it was the best film, not because part of the voters was too lazy to even watch the nominated films.
Anyone else notice the battery percentages are the same in both screenshots?
